Enough w/the Kurdish BS already...

I was going to do a long thread, but we’ll keep it short and sweet.

Know who abandoned the Kurds?

Obama did!

Why didn’t he arm the Kurds?
When ISIS was a growing concern in 2014... literally everyone w/a military or intel background was wondering...

“Why not arm the Kurds and green light them to smoke ISIS?”

He didn’t - here’s an article from Sept 2016 where he was still considering it.

Instead, he armed... “Rebels”. We may come back and define “Rebels” later, but for now:

• Why is the left complaining when Obama didn’t arm them?

He put together a shitty plan to arm the Kurds as he was exiting stage left - passed it on to Trump.

When I say ‘shitty plan’... I mean it!

Trump had a different plan - DESTROY ISIS.

ICYMI: ISIS used Chlorine Gas on the Kurds!

We didn’t hear much about that - we heard a WHOLE LOT about Assad... why not much about ISIS attacking them?

A main reason that Obama didn’t support the Kurds is bc he didn’t want to piss off Erdogan.

The Turks are concerned that if the Kurds get too much power they’ll separate & create their own country.

It’s a valid concern - much of Turkey is filled with ethnic Kurds.
So... I get it.

But my point is that this is just another example in a long line projection campaigns.

• Obama didn’t arm the Kurds
• Obama didn’t really even fight ISIS
• People should ask Obama wtf we were actually doing there!

No, seriously - has anyone asked the Kurds if they prefer we drop these on ISIS instead of dropping bombs?

• Obama dropped leaflets
• Trump dropped bombs

Which do you think they prefer?
Oh, and about that convoy that when Obama decided to give ISIS a 45 minute warning...

They were selling black market oil... to the Turks!

You’ll notice another projection campaign where the act like Trump is beholden to Erdogan - what about this oil?

In fact, Trump isn’t afraid to piss of the Turks at all - it was Obama that was afraid!

Check out this exchange... reported by Sy Hersh, claiming that it was the Turks that were trying to draw us into a full war in Syria.

Do you think he’d mouth of to Trump like that?
You should read that whole piece, actually...

Sy presses forward with pretty big claims about those “Rebels” we were arming.

It’s not like Sy is a conservative - take a look at what he says.

When Trump draws a line... HE DRAWS A LINE!

He says Turkey knows what that is and I believe him.

Why anyone would listen to NeoCons & NeoLibs on this subject is beyond my comprehension.

🤔... now this is a bizarre development!

Maybe what people need to do is just adjust to the fact that we have a real leader again.

Quit listening to #FakeNews and the #WarParty! It’s all a projection of their own weakness - AGAIN!

Anyway, I don’t really think Erdogan wants to get his ass kicked by girls.

... like ISIS did! 😂

(This piece has A+ propaganda value, btw...)

We’ll talk more about arming those “Rebels” later...

[End]
Addendum: Readout on our actual position... much different than what media has been reporting!
