Listen to you... 👏 👏 👏

Acting like all Erdogan has to do to draw us in to war is threaten the Kurds and have ppl like you on the back end act like we have to be there to save them from the Boogey Man!

Almost like he had a back-end laundering scheme via Green Credits in UT.
Oh.

I know where everyone is going with this - that the whistleblower worked for Biden - but I’m heading in a totally different direction!

I’m going with working for @amyklobuchar on this one.

I don’t know why, but I am!
Amy, do you care to comment? 😂
I know a ‘sleeper’ when I see one... 🤣

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.

nytimes.com/2016/09/22/wor…
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.

If you want to follow the people being killed in Syria thanks to @POTUS, this is their twitter feed.

These are the loveliest, warmest people my mom and I ever met. Now my mom is worried about "that nice man who pumped our gas then invited us to tea...
... and the people with the cats who like to swim, the ones with one blue eye and one green eye... and that family who fed you a feast of mountain greens, with the dad who was tortured by Saddam Hussein and the mom who hid in the hills with her babies for months." #Kurds
"Isn't that them?" she asks, and my heart breaks.

These are the people who Erdogan's spokesman just called "monsters [who] knock down our doors," and Trump called "natural enemies." The people with the pretty cats who invited us to tea. #Kurds

My thread on the #Kurds

#Kurds are a very ancient ethnic group whose origins are lost in the mists of time. Their distinguishing feature is that they speak Kurdish which is a very old group of languages which predate Islam. The Kurds played a role in Islam - Saladin was a Kurd.
For modern purposes we have to start with the dying days of the Ottoman Empire. The genocide of Armenians from Anatolian Turkey actually occurred in the heavily Kurdish parts of the Empire (now Turkish Republic) - accounts indicate it occurred with the collaboration of locals.
The expulsion and killing of Armenians would create a much more homogenous region in which Kurds would be the overwhelming majority - with the Empire breaking up after WWI, national self determination passions would be born among many tribes. If Arabs can be free why not Kurds?

1. What's going on with Pompeo, Ocalan & US policy? This is my post on Syrian War Crimes Report ordered under 2019 NDAA. By the time Mattis resigned this project should have been completed. What I have been reporting and attempting to prove via since Jan. may already be exposed.
2. Kurds generally know they, their parents, grand parents etc have been victims of repeated genocidal wars of aggression. But Turkey, one of the #Kurds historic tormentors, joined @NATO and the truth drifted into a fog of the Cold War.
3. The Bush41 1991 Gulf War exposed the brutality of the Iraqi regime including atrocities committed against the Kurds but still Turkey stayed the loyal NATO member permitted to share in US and NATO economic & military power and continued its own apartheid & war against Kurds.

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia

With the continuous flow of hundreds of well trained and armed Syrian popular forces, the Turkish #OliveBranchOperation is expected to be halted in the coming week: #Damascus clear confrontational attitude towards #Ankara seems obvious +
#Turkey knows that #Damascus is not acting alone and that #Russia is not far from seeing the Central government regain control of the Kurdish #Afrin enclave when #Kurds accepted all the Syrian gov conditions +
In the coming weeks, #Russia and #Ankara will have to find a way out to save #Turkey's face and present a scenario where everybody is a winner, including the #Kurds who have managed to save the destruction of the enclave.+
