I see people on twitter sometimes say that the YPG/PKK are ethnically cleansing parts of Syria. Where did this rumor even start? As far as I can tell not even Syrian ultras think something like that.

as far as i know it is an attempt to reframe the resettlement of Kurds fleeing the slaughter of Afrin, as well as other refugees, as colonization.

We're all really turks if you think about it. America's version of the kurds and armenians are it's black and native populations.

yeah at this point the only way palestine will be saved by the Arabs is if these fascist dictatorships are destroyed and killed because now Arab monarchs/general have become Israeli dogs 100%

When the Kurds retook towns after ISIS they demolished some homes for being death traps and the most loathsome people in the world declared it genocide. These people are usually part of the Turkey/Idlib/White Helmet media ecosystem.

Either way, I am waiting for the actual meeting with MBS. The sheer fact that the president (rather than the director of the CIA) is going has shown how much has changed since the 1980s.

how has things changed? every president since 1973 other than Reagan visited Saudi, obama went there several times and Biden will be meeting with king salman while MBS will be allowed to be in the room with them.

although I’m personally willing to bet at this point that MBS will promise to lift the flag of Israel over Mecca if it meant getting approval to reach the throne.

The differences is this trip is to beg the Saudis to cut oil production rather than a standard diplomatic trip.

Imagine spending decades writing about US foreign policy in the middle east and publicly admitting that you have no idea why the president of the United States is visiting Saudi Arabia during a global energy crisis.
