PKK should be wiped out ASAP if the "peace talks" fail.
It's our own fault, we could finish them but we didn't. Now they have a god-like figure locked up which they adore and which gives them hope for the future. We let them rise back up, but this time they played it smart by mixing local politics with it. The PKK has evolved and now the BDP (+HDP) is it's mouthpiece, and they've managed to gain a lot of momentum with younger Kurds.
Do you want to finish terror? Focus on politics and ''freedom'' aka reforms when needed, and cut their support (financial from abroad). Cut off the heads living in safety in Europe, and hunt them down. Don't let borders stop you, it's not stopping them, why should it stop us? I'm talking SOF raids all day every day, mixed with major old school conventional operations. The latter might not yield much initial result but they will be impressive and needed to maintain a status-quo in certain areas.
Both sides have been building momentum, and waiting for a major clash. Northern Iraq is under our influence, PYD is having a field day in Syria, Iran will be the first to legitimize and accept new things just to mess with us. This is their moment and they know it, that's why they're also pushing it very hard trying to provoke us so they can blame us.
They've said that ''clashes'' could happen during the ''peace process'' for reforms to be made.
One thing that I do like are the new Kalekols, it's not a suprise that there are organized protests against them.
