REVEALED: Kurdish 'PKK' Terrorists Were Rebranded by Obama Officials to Dupe the U.S. Public bigleaguepolitics.com/revealed-kurdi… via @BigLeaguePol
@bigleaguepol Gen Raymond Thomas explained in a 2017 interview how he worked as an Obama administration official to help re-brand the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an infamous terrorist organization, as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to help them gain sympathy with the American public:
@bigleaguepol The PKK is a group that formed as a Marxist-Leninist resistance faction that has sought to unite the Kurds, and targeted Turkey with acts of terrorist violence for over three decades. They are listed formally as a terrorist organization by the US, EU, UK. Turkey, and Japan.
@bigleaguepol “The Kurds will defend themselves to the end, so long as this is the Turkish approach – of course the PKK will escalate the war. Not only in Kurdistan, but in the rest of Turkey as well,” PKK leader Cemil Bayik said in a BBC interview in 2016. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
@bigleaguepol Over 40,000 people have died in the ongoing conflict between the PKK and the Turks. Turkish dictator Recep Erdogan has taken a hard-line approach in stopping the terrorist violence of PKK.
@bigleaguepol “It is not possible for us to continue the peace process with those who threaten our national unity and brotherhood,” Erdogan has said about the PKK. Now, Turkey is conducting military exercises against the re-branded PKK in Northern Syria,
@bigleaguepol “It is clearly obvious that our operation targets not the Syrian people, or the Kurds there, but terrorists,” Erdogan said about their recent military operations against the Kurds.
@bigleaguepol With the facts being made clear regarding the Turkish-PKK conflict, President Trump’s decision to remove U.S. troops from harm’s way makes more sense.
