Not the perspective the media want us to see at all!

What we've been seeing vis a vis the Kurds has been a transparent manipulation effort of the American people and Trump by our masters behind the curtain.

I spent a year in Eastern Turkey a lifetime ago. There were as many Kurds as Turks in the area. I met many Kurds and never felt uncomfortable around them. It seems like every country hates the Kurds. There was a large Iraqi Kurd refugee camp, probably 10,000 people on the outskirts of town. It seemed to me that they just wanted a place where they could raise their families and be left alone. I believe they have been good allies against Saddam and Isis. Likewise, the Turks were good Allies prior to the emergence of Erdogan. Turkey”s constitution mandates a secular government and Erdogan os doing his utmost to create a new Ottoman Empire. I don’t want to fight for a Kurdish homeland, but I would not be disappointed if there was a successful coup in Turkey. The last one was most likely staged by Erdogan as a preemptive strike to neuter the military.

They murdered a lot of innocent Turks.
Turkey had no other option but to fight them.
Trump is right to get out.

There were tons of South Vietnamese who helped us against the North, and they faced serious retaliation. Do you remember the Left crying about those folks when we left Vietnam??

Do you see anybody on the Left going off on the legacy of JFK, for abandoning the folks at Bay of Pigs?? Nope.

It’s time to go.

Arabs killing Arabs....yawn.

Not Arabs, but they are Islamists

The main stream media has got the situation wrong, as usual.

Islamists killing Islamists. Who cares....

The Middle Easterners have been fighting one another since the beginning of time, and that includes the whole lot of them......Jews, Kurds, Turks, and the rest of the bunch. We are not the worlds policeman.

Let God sort em out...

Yes.
Let Russia pay that bill.
George Washington's farewell, that was God's good wisdom for WASP America.

Mr fudd,

The Kurds had a defacto homeland in Iraq after the American invasion.
Why didn't they consolidate there and leave the Turks alone?

Thanks professor fudd.

Now if you would be so kind......I believe there's a speck of fly chit in the pepper that needs your attention.

We are a very young nation, other places in the World have inherited hatreds going back Centuries.

I’m really grateful my parents didn’t care to try and pass any on to me. One more of the blessings of life in America 😎

When in doubt. Stay out.

I wonder, did we get it right in Kosovo? Did we get it right with the ethnic Albanians? Did we get it right in Libya? Now the Kurds....any time I am sold a bill of good as 'victims' it sends an alarm in brain akin to the phrase " for the children".

Did you watch Trumps speech at the rally last might? (Doubt it)

He was pretty up front about his philosophy. “If they want to fight then let them get a taste of blood THEN pull them apart like kids on a playground”

More or less his point.

How do you deal will a bully effectively? Tell the teacher? Works until the teacher leaves the room, then what? Let them take a swings at each other.

Trump asked the question of “Why do we have American troops in these sectarian hot spots?”

We all know they have to fight it out themselves until one or both sides loses their appetite for aggression.
