The last country that used WMD’s against Kurds was Iraq. May Turkey suffer the same fate.

Hey,Kev,,,Long time no see`um,,,

This story just don't smell rite,,,

From what I could find the Turks could overrun the Kurds

in a few days,,,MAX,,,

“Army
Main article: Turkish Army

Turkey signed a memorandum of understanding to order an initial batch of 116+8 F-35 Lightning IIThe Turkish Army is one of the largest standing armies in the world and the second largest army of NATO.[6][7] The Turkish Army can deploy a sizable Army Corps to conduct joint operations at short notice.[33] The Army can conduct air assault operations with a lift capability of up to six battalions at a time, day and night.[33]

The modern Turkish Army has its foundations in remnants of the Ottoman forces inherited after the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I, though official sources - the Commandership of Land Forces and others - date its founding to Mete Khan in 209 BC.[34] The rise of Turkish nationalism in Anatolia, under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, led eventually to victory in the Turkish War of Independence, and subsequently to the founding of the Republic of Turkey, when these remnant forces were reorganized into the modern Turkish Army.[35]

The Turkish Army has around 402,000 active personnel.”

Why would the Turks bother with gas when they could just

take out the Kurds in one sweep,,,?...
