They're NATO allies. They're close *on paper*, but Erdogan is trying to play them and overextending himself.
First, keep in mind that 'fighting Isis has always been secondary, if a real goal at all. The US' primary objective has been to dethrone Assad and as such, they've been funding and arming anyone who can hold a rifle including groups like Al Nusra Front and Isis (though indirectly). International politics being what they are, the US can't attack the SAA directly, but they can get away with funding other groups to do it.
They obviously can't sell arming Isis and ANF to the public after the all the execution videos so they've come up with two local groups - the Kurds, doing what they're told for the possibility of their own state or autonomous zone and the hilariously depressing myth of 'moderate rebels'.
The Kurds are what bring the US in direct conflict of interest with Turkey. The Syrian-Kurdish cantons are in the north of Syria, close to the Turkish border and Erdogan hates them for it as it is - he blames the Syrian-Kurdish communities for supporting violent Kurdish separatist movements in Turkey among other things. He will never, ever allow a Kurdish state to form - initially the Kurds thought the US could protect them, but it's been shown time and time again that the US is unwilling to protect them militarily and cannot protect them politically.
The largest reason for the US to allow Erdogan to do what he wants is the Incirlik air base - the US and Europe conduct all of their bombing raids within Syria from the Turkish base, and Erdogan's basically told him they're getting evicted if they cause him grief. Germany got their access restricted for publicly recognising the Armenian genocide, lel.
The other thing relates back to the first point - the Kurds are only interested in fighting Islamic extremists, specifically Isis. They've had no interest in fighting Assad from the start, and their constant 'betrayal' has driven them to work covertly with the SAA in many instances. If they were willing to fight Assad it'd probably motivate the US to push Turkey, but as it stands that'd be very risky with little to no payoff. -
2016-12-02 at 5:54 PM UTC in why are first world anarchists going to fight for the YPG?because they're idiots, in short
kurds are seen as the most 'progressive' group in the region and they're fighting some of the most fundamentalist and least 'tolerant'. as far as 25 year olds who want to get into a fight but have bought into popular leftist morality, that's a winning combination -

CO2 is a liquid when compressed or cooled - in it's liquid state it doesn't exert much force until it's allowed to expand (ie. heated or put in a bigger container). it's why airsoft tanks are fairly thin and are rated at higher PSI than deep diving scuba tanks - liquefied CO2 vs compressed air -

when I was 15 that 'angst' was mostly directed at things that directly affected me, usually people forcing me to do things or stopping me from doing what I wanted to
now it's more of a general despair -

2016-12-02 at 5:31 PM UTC in do they just let you see psycholgistspsychologist or psychiatrist? the former is more like a counsellor/therapist, the latter mostly just prescribes drugs.
either way you should be able to get an appointment directly with either; for basic psych stuff (I can't sleep/I have anxiety problems etx.) you can usually see your local GP, and if it's too complicated or if it requires an unusual or controlled prescription they'll give you a referral to a psychiatrist. -

Originally posted by Actor Which side is good?
this has got to be a bluff or erdogan having a breakdown or something. they've already stopped bombing raids because Russia's provided 100% radar coverage of Syrian airspace (and like 50% of Turkish lel) and Assad told them he was going to down any Turkish aircraft that crossed the border after the last time they terrorbombed a kurdish civilian town. they already (somewhat) apologised for downing the
Russian fighter last year... openly attacking the SAA alone would cause their armed forces serious grief, attacking them while they're backed by Russia is insane, even by Erdogan's standards.
I guess it makes sense as an emotional outburst though - it's become obvious that the Kurds no longer trust their western backers and are only playing along as much as they have to - they've been co-ordinating with the SAA, presumably under some agreement to give them greater autonomy if they can help stop the country from being fragmented (one of the US' goals in helping the Kurds was to establish an independent Kurdistan in the north of Syria, but that was put on hold because Turkey hates that plan), so now Erdogan's mad as fuck because NOBODY'S ALLOWED TO BE FRIENDS WITH KURD SCUM. -
2016-12-01 at 6:28 AM UTC in It's now registered to me that it's too late for college.yeah if you're interested in starting your own business and just want to learn laws/procedures/etc to get started I think you'd be better off going to a technical/vocational college - they're called TAFE here, are a lot cheaper than university courses and are generally better regarded for more 'practical' skills like trades, apprenticeships and the like.

2016-12-01 at 6:17 AM UTC in It's now registered to me that it's too late for college.I'm not sure what context he's using the term 'college' in, but what I mean is a university degree - it's a lot of money to be spending on a degree that will not get you a guaranteed job (if that's what you're looking for). sure you'll probably be able to get an entry-level job in a corporate environment, but I'm guessing that's not what he's looking for at 30, and honestly, it wouldn't be too hard to get that same job without a degree.
I suspect your brother didn't get that job based solely on his business degree - he probably would've either had similar work experience or knew the guys who run the place. -

don't unless you have a passion for it. a business degree alone won't get you much work, the courseload is heavy and you'll be competing against a lot of asians who take it more seriously than you. my girlfriend was doing an international business course and is in the process of changing into another; I told her from the beginning she wasn't sufficiently interested in the subject and it translated into a lack of motivation and inability to keep up with the work -
