Al-Hol detainees attack guards and start fires as Turkish assault begins

https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/al-hol-detainees-attack-guards-and-start-fires-turkish-assault-begins



I don't know why the YPG ever kept male ISIS prisoners to begin with. I know why the SDF did - we were partnered with them, and that was probably a condition that we made. But how could there be so loving many ISIS prisoners? Ten thousand or more. Aren't these prisoners failures in their own mind? They failed to martyr themselves. They got taken prisoner by "kafirs" and "apostates." They were failures.

And these ISIS prisoners can't be reformed. Imprisoning jihadis of all types just radicalizes them even more, as we've seen all across the ME. All of the European and American assholes who went to Syria to fight for ISIS want to go back to their countries and commit terrorist attacks. So what does the SDF do? Honestly, what do they do? Just wait for the prisoners to successfully escape and join the ISIS insurgency, and possibly be killed by them one day? Or do they do what ISIS would do to them if they had the chance? I honestly wouldn't blame the Kurds in any way shape or form if they just executed every single fighting age male prisoner.

Turkey gives no fucks about the ISIS prisoners being released or escaping - it'll just create more chaos for them to exploit, and tie up Kurdish resources.


The whole situation is a clusterfuck of epic proportions. All of this could've been avoided if we had a president with a backbone who stood up to Turkey and Erdogan.

That fighter pilot who had that autocratic piece of poo poo in his sights during the failed coup probably regretted not killing Erdogan for the rest of his short, torture-filled life.

Frankly, if adhering to the laws of war regarding treatment of captured combatants was a precondition for US assistance, then I’m glad it was even if we’re going to have a problem from hell with IS detainees. If it’s a war based in part over values and ethics, the more we can differentiate ourselves from them, the better.

Turkey has been an uneven, unreliable ally WRT to Syria. While on one hand they were among the first countries to come out against Assad, they used their porous borders as a bargaining chip with the west with their initial assistance to rebek groups and later their blind eye toward IS moving back and forth. None of those European IS fighters would have made it into Syria were it not for them not managing their border.

And yeah, gently caress Erdogan eternally.

The only 'problem' with the Deplorables remark was that Hillary didn't stick with it. The campaign could have and should have gone all in on tying Trump's campaign to racism and white supremacy, highlighting the absolutely sickening array of human filth that was lining up to endorse him, and then challenged people-"If you support Trump, you might not be a deplorable person. You might be angry, confused, or scared. But look at who you're allying with-are these the kinds of people you're willing to look in the eye and vote alongside?"

But instead she and the rest of the campaign backed off and apologized, because professional campaign advisers are cowards :sigh:
