Europe’s first or second “flashmob”?

I would say that “Krystalnacht” was the first.

Turks are feeling their oats. I wonder why.

Because they know the US isn't going to interfer anymore. I think the whole M.E. leadership knows our power has weakened so much for being in so many wars that the people aren't going to stand for any more, further we're broke and it takes money to fight wars.

Other countries are basically on their own...and have been moving rapidly and unhindered since Obama took office. Now with Britain and Europe all in turmoil the Middle Easterners, Russia and China are fast on the move.

“Are the new Kurds the same as the old Kurds we once embraced?”

Have we ever embraced the PKK?!? The PKK is a Far-Left Marxist terrorist group that has been around for several decades.

Maybe you’re thinking of the PUK or KDP?

If we havent we should. Any enemy of muslims are a friend of mine. In any case I cant possibly back that islamist Erdogan in Turkey. Read about who this man follows, he has delusions of bringing back the caliphate in the middle east. His mentor was protected and given asylum by none other than our former 2 presidents...

“If we havent we should. Any enemy of muslims are a friend of mine.”

So you’re great buddies with an international, drug-running, anti-Israel, anti-Christian, anti-USA, anti-Western Europe, Marxist organization using kidnapping, terrorism, and assassination in hopes of destroying the West and bringing about an autonomic Kurdistan. Nice.

By any chance are you a member of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party yourself, or do you just consider them your friends?

Surely, since the US has been involved in the region for nearly a decade, you realize that the majority of Kurds are Sunni Muslim. Do you really think that after achieving autonomy the PKK would continue on with its Marxist, anti-religious campaign? I think it’s clear that they would lose lots of support, melt away, and there would be no campaign against Islam.

“In any case I cant possibly back that islamist Erdogan in Turkey.”

I don’t know of American conservatives suggesting support of the current Turkish PM. Who is?
