Had a Turkish officer try to buy a barmaid for the night, and the owner objected, vigorously. The Turk pulled a knife, and we pulled him off. He took the knife and cut himself, seriously, saying once drawn, it had to draw blood. Seems insulting a Turk insults all, including his ancestors. A Turk officer in Korea hung some thieves from the compound front gate. A UN officer ordered him to cut the bodies down. He did, but left the heads hanging up on the gate. It is an interesting culture.
There was a time when Turkey was pretty up to date with civilized behavior, modern conveniences, etc. Then the Sunnis and the Shiites got all tangled up with each other and nothing’s been as good since.
Perhaps the Kurds should’ve found some dirt on Joe Biden.
Seriously tho, what a heinous, reprehensible decision resulting in this slaughter of our allies and freeing of our enemies. The blood is on the hands of the GOP who continue to enable Traitor Trump.
The Turks have ALWAYS HATED THE KURDS! Let’s not forget that the Kurds have been there for over 2000 years. The Turks are INVADERS from Asia who swept in on the remains of the Byzantine Empire about 5-600 years ago and the Kurds RESISTED the invasion. The Turks have been bearing a grudge because of that for over FIVE HUNDRED YEARS. NATO needs to give Turkey the boot.

Good thing Turkey has no history of genocide.
Not that a stable genius would be aware of anything like that.
Or would care in the slightest, even if he knew.

That’s what America First means, right?

Erdogan is a card carrying member of the muslim brotherhood. He wants to recreate the Ottoman Empire.
