Some crazy close-quarters GoPro footage of what seems to be a PKK ambush on a Turkish unit in the KRG.

pro starcraft loser posted:Are the Turks just running up the mountain with no cover or recon? They probably are the recon. Looks like a small patrol. They likely patrolled through this mountain path frequently, thought it was a safe area, and got complacent. First guy got shot while running for cover and probably didn't realize one of the ambushers was behind the boulder. Second guy shot at close range was trying to pull the first guy out of there, I think.

Crowsbeak posted:You don't treat Wahabists with decency, nor their Turkish Allies. Frankly you treat ISIS with decency. If the Sunni’s in Iraq had been treated that way, maybe there wouldn’t have been ISIS in the first place. Probably not though. Either way it’s gross when people get little boners for dead Americans, Saudi’s, Russians, or Iranians, which several people in this thread do. Generally these people are far removed from those with power who pull the strings.

On the note of sectarian oppression, how are things for the Iraqi sunnis? I mean, it obviously sucks a great deal and the PMU are pretty drat brutal - but how does it compare to say, the life of the shia during post-Kuwait Saddam?

You don't get to fight those people, though, you fight their hired goons. Much like in Vietnam, to have any effect on them, you have to defeat their armies in some way. Ottoman imperialists getting slapped around is a good thing.

Which is not good for Turkey's future as generally what happens when you enable extremists to fight your wars is they start having influence on your own society. Also, I wonder if the interventionist cheerleaders will be calling for the USA to bomb Riyahd for what it is doing in Yemen now.

Lmao Sadr https://twitter.com/DrAbbasKadhim/status/1006607926096744450?s=20 So much for opposing sectarianism and foreign influence. He's got a very rabid fan base that will support him no matter what he does, but there were huge demonstrations on election day where people were chanting Iran out of Baghdad and such, so there's likely to be some outcry over this huge flip flop. Especially since the remnants of his militia just blew up a city block last week due to some gently caress up with an arms cache. There's been some voices arguing for a complete do over of the election due to all the uncertainty that has plagued the previous one at every step. Mostly losers of the previous election. Abadi will never go for it, and I bet Sadr couldn't breathe a bigger sigh of relief over that. He's been getting his rear end kicked on a daily basis since the results came in. Edit: Looks like Maliki might be out of the ruling coalition this go round so they might try to hold that up as the victory. Volkerball fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Jun 12, 2018 |
