Turks are scum.

2019-10-14 at 8:41 PM UTCI was amazed how shitty they were when I went to Istanbul on my way home from Nairobi. Give me niggers over turkroaches any day.
Turks have invaded Northern Syria (what Kurds call Rojava) in order to literally "change the demographics" - meaning what changing demographics always means, ethnic cleansing.
Germany have cut off arms to Turkey, Trump has said he is ready to crash their economy, Russia is on the point of intervention, and basically the whole world is realising what shitty worthless people Turks actually are.
It's all over for Turkey.The Washington war party is moaning that Trump has ‘betrayed’ the Kurds. Their unofficial head, Sen. Lindsey Graham, is demanding more war in Syria – the same warrior senator who dodged the Vietnam War by joining the National Guard as a lawyer.

The Kurds have been used and betrayed since 1918. They always seem to get the short end of the stick. The old Kurdish saying, ‘no friends but the mountains,’ is painfully true. Washington does not want to get involved in a new Kurdish state carved out of Syria or Iraq even though Israel is pushing it hard to further splinter the Mideast. Iraq’s and Syria’s oil deposits are still a powerful lure for imperial-minded powers.
Trump rightly calls the fracas in Syria ‘a stupid war.’ But many pro-war forces play on this tired, confused president who has gotten himself deep into the Syrian morass, a problem of largely American but also Turkish making. Ironically, former president Barack Obama foolishly authorized America’s effort to overthrow Syria’s Assad government under the guise of a phony civil war.
At least Turkey may hopefully send the Syrians within its borders, who are scummy, home. Trump, by withdrawing and letting the Turks beat on the Kurds, may have saved Europe from another threatened wace of rapefugees.
The middle east is a shit place with shit people. -

2019-10-14 at 10:29 PM UTCTurkey has been one of the most effective at 'ethnic cleansing'. I don't necessarily mean wiping people out, but back to the Ottoman Empire they've had zero tolerance for the cultures of regions they've occupied. Blanket bans on native tongues, renaming EVERYTHING down to streets etc. It's kind of impressive, or it would be if they didn't have such a shit of a culture of their own

2019-10-14 at 10:36 PM UTCI posted a theory a while back (not mine) that it seemed like Turkey's endgame wasn't to physically annex parts of Syria (which had always seemed likely), but to push Kurdish militias out of a massive 'buffer zone' on the border and to resettle the Syrian 'refugees' residing in Turkey into it. This is seeming more and more likely.
The subtext here is that the bulk of the Syrians who fled to Turkey during the war are anti-government fighters or supporters; people who ideologically support Turkey (and by extension, the Muslim Brotherhood) more than they do the (very moderate) government of Syria. By resettling them in northern Syria and replacing much of the local populations, Erdogan is able to extend Turkey's political reach (and create a bulwark against possible Kurdish FOBs) without going to the trouble of redrawing borders, especially since even he's not crazy enough to try to piss in Russia and Hezbullah's mouth. -
2019-10-14 at 10:43 PM UTCIn terms of 'terrorism', ISIS is not going to make a comeback in Syria. ISIS was mostly supported by the Gulf states; Turkey worked with them in some circumstances (Erdogan's son made a killing reselling the oil they pulled out of the ground when they occupied the oilfields near Deir Eizzor) but this was largely opportunistic.
Turkey has mostly supported Al-Nusra Front, who are on like their 25th name change and confined to Idlib Province now, and they're having a lot of trouble deciding who's too 'extreme' to support nowadays.
This does beg the question of how the new Turkish incursion into Northern Syria will affect the Idlib Offensive and the rebels within - the SAA is stretched thin as it is, and having to rapidly move to create a buffer between the Turks and the Kurds will stretch them even thinner. -

2019-10-15 at 12:29 AM UTCI've only really met one turk in my life and I liked him but he told me he used to be a piece of shit before he became more religious and now seems to only do good altruistic things. Erdogan seems like a terrible person tho and has a lot of Turks to go along with them. I remember Proots would go on and on about how much he hated Turks. Basically Erdogan is hung like a moose and Trump has a tiny forest mushroom and the world is all worse for it. Literally Barack would have been much better in this situation

hahaha I bet you actually think this.
The question is really is the status quo going to remain the same in Idlib? Is it going to be a lil al quaeda state right on the border with latakia and tartus? I think Turkey is going to let Syria/Russia wipe that out in exchange for leaving the east and their buffer zone alone -
2019-10-15 at 12:47 AM UTCI agree that a terrorist group able to pose any threat to the US is not coming back with any force. I don't see how else the US loses here besides loss of leverages?
