By the 17th century Europe had left the rest of the world behind in terms of technological and intellectual advancement and entered what can be called the technical and, the age of rapid development and highly precise specialization all while the middle east lagged behind in what can be called the agrarian age, the age of conservatism and slow, agriculture based development. The reasons for this are too many to mention on a Japanese frog posting forum. The point is, by the 19th century, Muslims realized that they had to catch up and so the leaders of that era went on a massive modernization crusade to get their nations into this new technical age and to develop economies that were independent of the market fluctuations of the west. However, the trick was that these modernization efforts entailed a large degree of disruptive social engineering and centralization of power, two things that led to catastrophic effects on the population of the area and which paved the way for various dictators to take over and here's where it got really messy: given that dictatorships stunt economic development and oppress individual liberty, Arabs became depressed and sharia oriented Islam took on a new role in their political consciousness as it came to be viewed as the only viable solution to the state of stagnation that Muslims dwelled in. The rest of course is history. The middle East would've still suffered without the oil, albeit perhaps on a lesser scale since america wouldn't have intervened so much to fuck it up. There's a dearth of enlightened leadership in the middle East. Only when that's dealt with, the middle east will fix itself
So Assad has recently said that US troops are not welcome in Syria

Thats not a big deal lad, he called turks the same. And it is not the first time he is saying that.
Samuel Perez
Actually usa created isis in the first place so he is right, you know.
James Reyes
Economic stagnation and zero social mobility due to socialism and monopoly rights granted by dictators to their family members allies. Simply put, you can't make it in the middle east: there are no jobs, no factories, no education and governments prevent people from engaging in free trade so they would not threaten the ruling elites as they become wealthy and therefore politically powerful.

Nicholas Murphy
Absolutely not. Far form it actually. I know I sound like a shill, but these folk were not enlightened and they kept their countries down for their own benefit. Are they better than Jihadis? Of course and I actually believe Assad and ghadafi would've ended up modernizing Syria and Libya eventually had there been peace but they have unfortunately failed to do so for a myriad of reasons and the results are what we're seeing right now. Alright really have to go now. Talk to ya later.

Matthew Long
All those words and no mention that Israel and the Saudis did everything possible to destroy secular middle Eastern governments since the 1950s (with anglo/US aid of course)
The middle East could have been easily secularized if every country wasn't bombed to hell because it was seen as a threat to our Zio-Saudi masteri
John Bailey
Erdo was right today
Brody Perry
Okey you are actually right, my bad. I thought they just blew up the locals as usual
Ian Rodriguez
I think there is a portion of truth to this. However, where modernisation occurred, such as in Afghanistan, Iran and elsewhere, having it forcefully toppled in western backed coup's cannot be excluded and removed from the equation.
Often these events not only destroyed infrastructure and capacity to quickly recover, but actively pushed societies past the brink from which recovery became an option. Rather these societies were pushed to the point where regression became a viable survival strategy.

Carson King
They were far more secular than the Saudi monarchists and wahhabists you probably shill for
Nicholas Edwards
They did not gave the landing permit to turkish PM that was about to arrange some kind of meeting in Netherlands. Erdo got mad even said something about not letting dutch planes to land in Turkey.
Owen Barnes
Neverthless my hate is bigger than what is right or wrong, fuck him. He dismiss all the prestige of my country in 15 years of his government. Fuck erdoğan, i hope he die with cancer with lots of pain and suffering

You can't ignore the US funding Jihadists during the Cold War
Or the CIA overthrowing the democratically elected leader of Iran
Or the UN supporting the Israeli bombing and invasion of Egypt in a "pre emptive war" to stop Egypt's president from controlling the Suez
Secularism was completely discredited by western apathy to the destruction of secular institutions in the middle East and covert and blatant funding of Jihadists like the Saudis

Tell us more toothpaste, why did you turned PM back, what your government stated? What that meeting was even about?

Sad, how Iran and Afghanistan got Regime Changed by the US thus bringing jihadis to power. Sad. Many such cases.
whats up with turkey? what role do they play? do you have a video/infograph on erdogan and his friends?
Adrian Adams
No you cannt.
Dylan Jones
top kek
Benjamin Hernandez
He is a logical Turk
He can see that Erdogan is ruining the Democratic institutions in Turkey so that he can become dictator for life
Sure the gulenists were cultists and subversive, but Erdogan is using that as an excuse to grab nearly unlimited executive power
Jayden Peterson
kek, i hope we follow your example turks should not go on political campaigns for their referendum in other countries

Is it true that you guys called in an air strike on Isis via TWEET? if so, canI see a pic?

My apologies What? Forgive me This is the first time I've been in this General. So how did it happen then?
Michael Thompson
Lol the turks on the demo went full allahu akhbar hahahaha they don't even try to hide it
Elijah Cruz
Erdogan was supporting ISIS up until about a year ago or so when he quietly switched sides to Russia
He had been hoping to grab lots of Syrian territory when Assad fell, but now he is more worried about the Kurds
Much of this problem is his own making, but at heart he is an opportunist and a crafty politician. He can't be trusted, but right now he's "officially" on the right side. However unofficially he's still trying to grab Syrian territory which is why US troops are in Syria now.
Ryan Edwards

>However, the trick was that these modernization efforts entailed a large degree of disruptive social engineering and centralization of power, two things that led to catastrophic effects on the population of the area and which paved the way for various dictators to take over
I dont think one has to do with the other. First of all, there was always some feudal or dictatorial system in the Islamic states, maybe not as centralized. But I believe the lack of centralisation before had more to do with the whole primitive clan structures, that only could be overcome by brutal force. Clans are too small structures for development though, so in order to developed they need(ed) to be broken up Most of the important developments in the west for example in Germany/Austria were under feudal systems (kings/emperors...). So suppressive regimes were not a hindrance at first. Humanism, separating church and state and in the end democratic changes took several centuries to achieve. I have the feeling many Muslim countries are in the midlle or the beginning of that process with strong forces opposing any change. It would be naive to think it could be accomplished in one generation. We had our 30yeat war at the beginning of the process 400years ago and the similarities to the Syrian conflict are striking. -two/multiple confessions battling: Catholics/Protestants - shii/Sunni -many of the combatants were outside mercs and represented foreign countries: Sweden, Austria,France.. - Usa, as,turkey,Iran... -bloody zealot killings,famines and epidemics: 1/3 of German population dies - 100000s Syrians died In the end only a conference with all participants where all issues concerning the region and religion were solved brought peace..Westphalian peace. Same I hope someday for syria. Even then development will take generations
Christian Green
syre in norwegian means acid, so everytime i think about syria i think about sour candy desu but why the hell would they support terrorism, and not side with their arab brothers like iran did?
Austin Cooper
>Nusra Anti syrian government rebel jihadi group that is not Isis.
Justin Gonzalez
We have two confirmed airstrikes under our belt and two pending.
so us troops are in syria because they want to defend syria from being taken over by turkey?
Logan Rodriguez
Oh so they called in a strike on a group of """"moderate""""" rebels
James Johnson
They basically gather all the images/videos they can about a location (documentation that's normally public thanks to the terrorist media) and start investigating them until they track the exact location. A job as much autistic as heroic

All those women in your picture are noble cast that benevolent dictator nurished. They are small minority that made 1-2 children while the uneducated rural farmer consisting over 95% population made 8-9 children.

Cameron Flores
What do you think will happen after Tiger SEALs mission and capture of Maskanah?
Connor Peterson
They aren't going to war
They are they officially as advisors and to "dissuade" Erdogan from doing anything rash
It's unlikely a NATO country will purposefully bomb another NATO countries troops
Jayden Lopez
So many questions!
Blake Scott
with "sunni tactics", do you mean divide/conquer? so let me get this straight. saudis, turkey and qatar get paid to help (((them))) create greater israel?
That's how the industrial revolution originally spread
It started in the cities and villages and then overtime spread to the rural areas
Isaiah Howard
It's not even from Kabul, it's from Iran. Westerners see one pic of upper class Iranians living under the Shah and get the idea that the rest of the country was a poverty stricken backwards shithole.

Nathan Sullivan
It is bothered me but you cant treat everyone as a erdoğan, you can not lock someone inside embassy building, this is not logical human behaviour
Brandon Myers
They do it because they want to spread Wahhabism not because they want a greater Israel
It just so happens that in the end they are helping create "greater Israel" so Israel is perfectly fine with their activities
Evan Kelly
he's a Syrian reporter
Joseph Brown
It's simple, Israel uses the sunnis to destroy the shias and promise them more power. The shias are a common enemy and the sole threat to Israeli hegemony in the middle east.
