@mystery-ak @Cyber Liberty@roamer_1 @catfish1957 @jpsb @DB @txradioguy Eyewitness to Treatment of Kurds by TurksIn the 1970s, Geophysicist Bob was sent to Turkey by Gulf Oil to do systemic readings off the coast of Turkey in the Mediterranean Sea continuing on land where the Kurds lived and still do.
Bob employed Kurds in this work. It was okay with Turkey for him to employ Kurds because Turkish officials and Turks in general treated the Kurds as subhuman. The Kurds also had their own religion which the Turks also hated. Bob said the Kurd men were strong and dedicated to the work they did for him/Gulf.
The Turks in the area were cruel to the Kurds. He said many times he saw Turk men hit Kurd children of all ages, over the head with batons until the children were bleeding out their ears and noses. That meant they had brain concussions and most likely brain injury. He could do nothing about it and neither could the Kurds in that time period.
Now, without our help to the Kurds, this present generation of Kurds are going to be killed by these cruel Turks of this generation. Evidently, to Trump, the Kurds are expendable if he saves some government money to pay to his personal Florida location for the G7 to meet next year. Why connect this Kurd extinction to money for his personal gain? I did it because he has no empathy for anyone except himself. He understands money for him but not for the lives of humans and God made Kurds or they would not be there. He is responsible for any deaths of Kurds that happen due to our leaving there.
Erdogan must have praised Trump during this October 7, 2019, phone call: "Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US counterpart Donald Trump agreed during a phone call to meet in Washington next month to discuss creating a “safe zone†in northern Syria, the Turkish presidency said Sunday." That call happened and now we are leaving the Kurds to Erdogan to do as he wishes.
The President of Turkey, Erdogan, must have heaped praise on Trump the last time they saw each other and talked at the UN, and that did it - "The Kurds be damned, Erdogan said nice things about me."
Consider the rest in quotes:
Turkey’s president threatens to launch solo army operation into northeast Syria despite US presence October 6, 2019
Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued his strongest warning yet that action to secure border may go ahead at any moment
Turkey reinforced army units at the Syrian border hours after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan signalled an imminent cross-border operation against US-backed Kurdish militants in Syria.
Turkey sent additional armoured vehicles and troops to the border town of Akcakale late Saturday, across from Tal Abyad in Syria, according to state TV television TRT.
Erdogan said earlier in the day that Turkey was ready to start a military operation in northern Syria to claim areas from the Kurdish militant group YPG and may act “as soon as today or tomorrowâ€.
“We have made our preparations, completed our operation plans,†Erdogan said at an AK Party meeting in Kizilcahamam in Ankara Province.
“We have given the necessary orders.†The operation in the east of the Euphrates river in northern Syria would be carried out by land and air, he said.
Erdogan has vowed to create a buffer zone inside Syria by pushing back Kurdish militants and settling Syrian refugees in the country’s north.
Turkey suspects that the US is backing Kurdish aspirations for self-rule in Syria and is prepared to use military force to prevent what it perceives as an attempt to redraw the region’s map.
