    • saw this on FB. why would greenpeace dive into this issue?sarahfailin
    • This issue is being blown up ridiculously in the west and portrayed as a humanitarian crisis unfairly. Turkey has over 3.5 million refugees already.Beeswax
    • more than any other nation.Beeswax
    • Its not a war that we started but we had to deal with all the mess. And now with US leaving the area theres about 100.000 heavily armed men with expansionistBeeswax
    • ideals. Not only into Turkey but to the Kurdistan Regional Government and other autonomous Kurdish areas as well. So its more like Turkey vs YPG vs KurdsBeeswax
    • Despite all the backlash against Trump this proxy war has been started by Obama. Trump did the only right move by pulling the US troops out of that hell.Beeswax
    • And this is the aftermath of arming random bunch of people around the world. There were other ways to clean ISIS.Beeswax
    • Also the YPG are hardcore Marxists so that might be why Greenpeace is getting involved. https://www.wsj.com/…Beeswax
    • He did the best thing? Nobody is saying that. Like, nobody not even Fox News nobody. Not even robo says that.monospaced
    • Oh contrere mon frere, the Kurds, Turkey, Syrians have zero to do with democracy, USA shouldn't risk no lives there.robotron3k
    • How quick you change your story. You said the opposite earlier today.monospaced
    • id go with beeswax on this as a real opinion close to the source
      ********
    • our media like fox hardy covers he issues. I personally cant state where the "kurds" lie vs every fuckin middle east group
      ********
    • dont have to agree with bees but i think his opinion is stronger than ours. i have no idea if trump trying to game election promises or if something more to it
      ********
    • i appreciate the non US big bother needed aspect. but i also know we created a lot of the issues. and pulling out may have negs
      ********
    • but really not our problem, but goes back to simple petrodollar, and EU relationships (looking at you france)
      ********
    • I met some joiners who had been in the Turkish army, they really hated the Kurds and had photos with the heads of the Kurds they'd decapitatedPhanLo
    • They did a good job of my mates bathroom and kitchen.PhanLo
    • Still think the Kurdish women fighters have more balls than most of the men in that region.PhanLo
    • Lindsay Graham caring about the wellbeing of Communist guerilla in syria? C'mon now. AIPAC tools in DC is crying...Beeswax
    • The issue is the backstabbing and treachery by trump. Unforgivable what he did to a friend and ally. The last circle of hell is reserved for people like him_niko
    • turkey might have enjoyed a little support before by branding the Kurds terrorists, now they’ve lost even that. Zero credibility and backing_niko
    • And all Erdogan had to do was promise to build one of trumps retarded children a hotel or two in Constantinople._niko
    • I agree. This was the best move Trump pulled in his presidency. Get your troops the fuck out of there. No surprised all the Republican hawks are up in arms.Khurram
    • US has little vested interest there. Kurds didn't help the US defeat ISIS. The US helped the KURDS. Oh and Russians, Iranians, Syrians and Iraqis might also...Khurram
    • ... have had something to do with the defeat of the caliphate. A fact that seems to get lost in the narrative being created hereKhurram

    • if it was a good move, then why was it in direct contradiction to his promise to them? I mean, if the promise was bad, nobody said a damn thing.monospaced
    • I agree removing troops is a good thing, but leaving them hanging out to dry like that is a dick move. That's what's got people upset. It's bad relations.monospaced
    • If he had said that he would remove the troops and they'd be on their own, that might have been a good thing. And not on Twitter, ffs.monospaced
    • lol @ deathboyutopian
    • we were never in syria for the kurds. we went for our own reasons based on gas attacks. they have been battling for awhile and neither
      ********
    • have a squeaky clean past. Just because they joined up with us for self interests doesn't mean we cant back out
      ********
    • now theyre dealing deals with assad vs turkey. We really need to quit the protectionist shit.
