Turkey is one of the last true democracies in the middle-east. They are also the only country willing to fight the terrorist groups active in the area. Care to take a guess if they're the good guys or not?

Theyre the bad guys

Also they have dopey moustaches

oh of course. Turkey, a wonderful country filled with amazing traditions and peoples that has managed to maintain it's freedom and democracy despite the underhanded and violent methods of it's neighbors, deserves everything it gets. Good point.

Never change.

That said, when I was in Istanbul recently, every single greasy shitstain that tried to scam my lily-white rear end was a Kurd or said they were a Kurd. The hostel owners also told me not to trust Kurds either.

Makes you think...maybe nobody there is truly innocent :eek:

I get that Turkey isn't well liked because apparently they are muslims just like ISIS or something, but these western double standards are really starting to disgust me. France has been in a state of emergency lockdown for almost 6 months soon but no one seems to even notice. Meanwhile Erdogan (rightfully) takes care of corrupt cult masquerading as a news agency and people in the west loving lose it.

The US especially need to stop tiptoeing around and decide where their loyalty lies: with their NATO ally or with the nationless kurd terrorists.

the american people if we actually had a say would side with the kurds immediately if we were educated and able to vote on it, the american government has and always will be in bed with villains if they can control the press and market it while making money or controlling a region through alliance with a vile scumbag government

The Kurds should be a nation they're way better people than Turks and with far fewer silly moustaches and if shaving their moustaches was part of the negotiations for their new nation they would do it, because they're just practical upright people like that.

The Turks can have a fourth of their current nation back (the rest will be given to the Kurds) when they can man up to the Armenian genocide

Turkey was allowed into NATO with the understanding that they were a civilized western nation and not yet another shitfest torn between islamic extremism and secular despotism and for a while that was true but then everyone in the country forgot about Dre so there's no use in dealing with them as equals any longer

So what you're saying is that if the american population was better educated and in control of their country's politics, they would happily leave a massive military alliance simply because they'd rather be friends with a bunch of violent fuckers who even at their best could be described as "freedom fighters"? Not a good look

Turkey has acted as a bulwark for the "civilized" west for decades. And what do we get for it? loving nothing. When the Kurds attack a sovereign nation it's suddenly as if NATO doesn't even exist. And what punishment do the Kurds receive for their acts of terror? Tons of weapons from Germany and the yanks, as if Turkey had done nothing for them. Germany especially has benefited massively from Turkish workers but no lets ignore that completely. It's Turkey and it's democratically elected president Erdogan who are always at fault.

As much as I'd like to stand with you, I'm sorry but Erdogan is a piece of human scum and deserves to get kicked out of the government. If he hadn't started to bomb loving Kurdish civilians this would not have happened.

And it was German officers of his generation who 20 years before were assigned to Turkey as advisors in WWI who were writing home going HOLY poo poo THE TURKS ARE KILLING EVERYONE and yall still cant even man up to that and throw international tantrums at people who expect you to

And you wonder why no one takes yall seriously at all and treats you like the lesser of two evils assembled stone by stone as a defense against the greater one and one day when it all falls apart and the things you protect against are sufficiently pacified or depopulated we wont need yall anymore

When you're a democracy in the absurd vortex of insanity that is the Middle East, you sometimes elect abominable crimes against humanity. See also: Israel, Netanyahu.

The yanks can invade foreign countries as many times as they want, but Turkey isn't even allowed to defend it's own loving citizens? What about the fact that the west is bribing us with billions because they can't take care of a few refugees. True bastion of enlightenment right there.
