Trump at live conference now just claimed hes not taking sides in Kirkuk clashes, claimes "we should never have been in Iraq" >Trump at live conference now just claimed hes not taking sides in Kirkuk clashes, claimes "we should never have been in Iraq"
well i think most people would take the chance of not getting executed over dying 100%, especially if you dont know who is attacking you.
i was impressed by the controlled burst MG fire to cover the advance

There isn't anybody that could unite anti-Erdogan voters in Turkey. Erdogan will win in 2019. Sup Forums will be buttmad

>did your countrymen in general enjoy western culture in general, such as classical music, secularity, tolerance, fair law? The answer would be mostly yes. The younger generation wants it. But the older ones are less accepting of it. Secularity and tolerance are getting way more attention than ever before. On the other hand the war has turned previously tolerant people into ethnically and religiously-driven freaks who are will to disembowel anyone from an opposing faction if they had the chance. Which of these two types of people has the upper hand depends largely on where you live. The younger the residents the more left-leaning they are.

>Mattis sperging over Mountain gypsies getting cucked
The Kurds are winning, assad is on his knees, iraqis on their heels and iran on their ass
Jose Gonzalez
>On the other hand the war has turned previously tolerant people into ethnically and religiously-driven freaks I've expected something like this, that's why I've wondered how it was possible that western cultural influence spread, while the radicalization and sectarianism was spreading at the same time.
Austin Price
Stop, I can only get so erect.
Jacob Brooks
I live in the losing side's territory. I have a cushy job and a cushy life here and it's all coming crashing down.
Jaxson Perez
>McCain was especially concerned by reports that Iranian and Iranian-backed militias are part of the assault.
factions in the government are eternally butthurt that Iraq is becoming stronger with the assistance of Iran this Kurd thing might just be the excuse for them to ditch support of course all that does is leave an even greater vacuum for Iran and Russa these people are idiots
Cameron Jackson
your're the British working for oil inErbil?
Charles Rivera
IRGC personally lead the PMU and did so during the battle for Kirkuk.
He is not wrong about this. The US is directly arming an Iranian proxy force.
Jose Campbell
US foreign policy in the Middle East failed epicly over the last 15 years.
Jaxon Wright
so they would attack and occupy a country to make it into a puppet state just to lose it due to petty idiotic politics a decade later?
Jace Bennett
erdoggo needs 50% votes to get re-elected due to his bullshit referendum he did last spring lol. he kinda made his own job harder. he would only need about 30% votes for re-election if he didnt do that referendum.
but at least 50% of turkey doesnt like erdoggo (considering about 49% of no votes in the referendum even though he allied MHP the nationalist party). so idk, its a bit foggy future right now but no one knows what will happen in future as well.
Ayden Hall
Not at all, but it doesn't matter. Our airport is basically shuttered by Baghdad decree and only does domestic flights to Baghdad.
Baghdad doesn't recognize my legal status her as it's with the Kurdish government.
One of the two main Kurdish parties just backstabbed the other.
We could be seeing the start of another Kurdish civil war, or ISF forces may well soon be driving their tanks into Erbil proper.

yeah, looked into a couple of suggested videos from there and apparently kurd music sounds like a mix of Iranian and gypsy style, where it goes depends not eh song youtube.com/watch?v=Dy129Erb6yY

There is absolutely no way Iraq would turn to iran and Russia for support and weapons if the US halts their support operations. None at all. I'll get to work polishing that silver platter now to save time. Iran might appreciate it when Iraq is handed to them.
Luis White
>did you ever think that if Hafez didn't kill-off the radical uprising in the 80s the country would've looked better nowadays? It's generally believed among the Alawite community that Hafez did exactly what he needed to do in order to establish a feared government in a country where no law would ever thrive without it. Alawites (internally of course) consider Bashar as a wuss, and wish his brother Maher was in charge instead, because they consider him to be more of an iron fist. They see the war as a result of Bashar weakness and unwillingness to attack Sunni neighborhoods that started everything in Daraa, which in turn lead him into not being able to contain the "uprising" before it spread. I agree with these opinions.
Gabriel Smith
Yeah, but who can unite Social Democrats, Nationalists and Mountain Turks against Erdogan?
Jackson Anderson
>annoying orange is finally right What a time to be alive....
Jason Martin
You have the chance to speculate and either move out the way of coming conflict in time or move completely to a safe zone
Cameron Parker
I'm sorry user. It is unfortunate innocents must suffer. Stay safe and good luck.
Jacob Jones
>The US is directly arming an Iranian proxy force.
Are the US the good guys all along and all the Iran hate was a cover?
John Long
Fuck off thats not me.
Jeremiah Wood
>I'll get to work polishing that silver platter now to save time
Robert Young
idk, we ll see. its a bit too early to talk about it right now desu.
and right now akp is having its own internal problems because erdoggo is forcing people to resign left and right which is causing some unrest within their own ranks.
Jeremiah Edwards
I wish I wasn't so invested in this place. I have a fully furnished house, car and I even married a woman from here.
If I leave I am out over 50k+ USD.

Benjamin Peterson
>Alawites (internally of course) consider Bashar as a wuss, and wish his brother Maher was in charge instead I believe with the sudden change of the 00s the balanced personality is better than even more mad version of Bassel, Maher would be, he'd maybe kill-off the uprising before it begun for good, but could also be very unwise and provoke for example western intervention, while Bashar was balanced enough to avoid it. I agree with everything other tho.
Xavier Powell
made me kek
Brayden Myers
What did Turkey mean by this?
Adrian James
>what could be done to lower the tensions between your country and Israel? Remove Albaath from power. The ENTIRE party, not just Assad. Otherwise nothing will change the relationship between the two countries.
Liam Carter
*shitposts in your airspace* Nothin personnel ar*b
Alexander Fisher
Look you either become an Iraqi and respect Iraq or you leave the Arab World.
Xavier Martin
They hate you as much as they hate the Kurds btw.
American blood and treasure will be used to bail out the Baghdad government when the PMU eventually turns on them and attempts to take over and install a full on Iranian sponsored state.
Mark my words.
Julian Reed
>Maher isn't he a cripple though?
Parker Roberts
One exFSA soldier stated that Bashar was kinda ok, but Hafez was kinda asshole that passed his sins to son. Thus Bashar became kinda a scapegoat.
Michael Gray
>implying
Charles Sanchez
>allying with k*rds this would be suicide for CHP and MHP both are nationalists, supporters of both see HDP as traitors more chance of AKP allying with CHP than MHP allying with HDP
Cameron Baker
Ba'athists will stay for good, the structured of the party, the police, the mkhabarat, the regiments like Maher's 4th, Suqur as-Sahara, Tigers, it's all made in such a way removing Ba'ath is impossible in the long run. Thanks for the answer tho. One more question comes to mind when we're on this topic, do you think Bashar's sister has any chance of winning when his constitutional term ends? What is the popular attitude?
Carson Clark
>I even married a woman from here a K*rd?
Caleb Morgan
You do know the US has killed around 1 million Iraqis? They hate you as their 2nd enemy after Israel.
Colton Parker
Wait hol up I don't post in these, is Iraq curbstomping the Kurds now?
Evan Price
>what made Syria side with the USSR instead of US during the cold war in your opinion? The USSR had a hand in who holds the power in Syria way before the crisis of '57. Syria didn't side with anybody, its leaders did. Most of the people didn't even know what the USSR was until after the crisis.
Jaxon Cooper
Finally, Trump says something on foreign policy that isn't either retarded or sucking jew cock. I wonder how long it'll last... I expect screeching from the Israeli-run US State Dept. soon
Nathan Hernandez
>last night >Iraqis are on the outskirts of Kirkuk >I go to sleep >I wake up >Iraqis are now in control of the entirety of Kirkuk
Shameful, I can't see Kurdish propaganda getting them out of this one.
