I'm asking you to contact anyone you think might be persuaded help and apply more pressure on Turkey.
May God Bless my Syrian Kurd friends and all Freedom Lovers who have fought alongside them to end the Great Evil called ISIS.
God Bless the United States of America.
The Kurds have been trustworthy allies for the U.S.
I think the movie 12 Strong is about our working relationship with
the Kurds.
BTW, it’s a great movie.
Really? How many more young Americans do you want killed and maimed if the US is expected to continually immerse itself in the Mideast quagmire. George Washington warned against such “foreign entanglements”.
I wish the Kurds the best of luck. Here is what I dont want— our money and lives for them. THEY chose to illegally seize land from Syria on the Turkish border, We didn’t because it violates international law. It is purely a matter between the actual parties, We have 5 combat unit combat ready out of 58!!! All 5 should seal our border with Mexico, The other units should get combat ready or be terminated!! The last thing on the American agenda should be the Kurds!!
Turkey is a lost cause. We have a disgusting history of abandoning indigenous allies and leaving them to their own devices. Especially those associated with a certain three-letter agency. I do pray for the Kurds, and I pray America will do right by them. I also pray that our troops depart from that evil region forever.
Erdogan has enabled ISIS from the beginning, and Russia has been happy to see its Chechen friends head south for the slaughter. Iran plays everyone against each other and the Saudi’s continue to gaze at navels.
Either way, this is the third time we’ve burned the Kurds, but there is a glimmer of hope. Like Chesty Puller said,“They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!”
The Kurds have proven very resilient and much more resourceful than their enemies. Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi and Turkey are typical Muslim regimes, but the Kurds are a self-sufficient independent people who are dying for freedom. If Texans lived in the Middle East, they’d be Kurds.
