Well, Turkey have started airstrikes against the Kurds in Syria. I wonder what Donald Trump's infinite and unmatched wisdom is currently telling him... n/t - by Jon - 09 October 2019 02:29PM

Don't worry. I'm in no doubt at all that the thousands of Labour members will give them just as much support as they do the Palestinians - by Dougal - 09 October 2019 02:40PM

Kurds want their own country, looks like America is helping them get it by whatever stupid means. Hopefully Turkey stands it's ground. - by Tone - 09 October 2019 02:33PM

Just like the did in Cyprus? - by JR - 09 October 2019 02:52PM

What's this? A Greek sticking up for the Turks? nt - by fishlovinyid - 09 October 2019 02:51PM

why shouldn't they have an independent Kurdistan. Surely if there are few good muzzies then you stand behind them rather than some Putin backed cunt who wants to create a new Ottoman Empire and murder a load of innocents? - by Balham - 09 October 2019 02:38PM

because it means turkey surrendering some of their land to what would presumably be another US ally in the region. and probably something to do with oil pipelines or somesuch - by Tone - 09 October 2019 03:20PM

I think I'd rather that than them be expansionist themselves in the region. We should be bending over backwards for them and Israel, surrounded by murderous filth and doing our dirty work. - by Balham - 09 October 2019 03:23PM

Surely Turkey "standing their ground" would mean remaining inside their own borders, though? - by Jon - 09 October 2019 02:36PM

yes but the kurds are not divided by country, they are in a specific region that spans eastern turkey and syria etc. so the endgame in all this is to carve some of turkey and syria off for a kurdistan. it'll happen in return for some sort of presence or payback in the region to the US. - by Tone - 09 October 2019 03:22PM

Which would be understandable, except for the fact that the Kurds the Turks are currently attacking are inside Syria, not Turkey - by Jon - 09 October 2019 03:27PM

Says a lot about dumb fuck yanks. Politics very polarized there. Black and white essentially. - by GILLY - 09 October 2019 02:31PM

Thank god that could never happen in the UK - by JonnieB - 09 October 2019 02:32PM

Haha, yes :o) - by Jon - 09 October 2019 02:36PM

Incredible, that. What an absolute fucking cunt Trump really is. - by RJM - 09 October 2019 02:30PM

But he’s just doing what’s best for his people. That’s what Simon Milner told me anyway. Based on him having absolutely no knowledge of the situation whatsoever - by JonnieB - 09 October 2019 02:32PM

I'm sure he is a huge fan of Trump being about to pull out of the Open Skies Treaty. Nevermind the knock-on effect in the whole middle East in general and Israel in particular concerned with the trustworthiness of the uninformed, isolationist great orange stain. nt - by fishlovinyid - 09 October 2019 02:34PM
