Turkey is on wrong side. Turkey should be ally of Russia .
at least ,Russians dont back stab .
The Russians do back-stab on occasion. Chechnya, Afghanistan, Vietnam (even though their allies the Vietnamese did win in the end). Using other people as proxy forces *is* backstabbing. And if the one being backstabbed looks over their shoulder, it's nothing but that Russian confident smile that is a lie *at such times*.
The Americans have abandoned allies in the past, and in Vietnam that didn't result (much) in seeing those abandoned allies backstabbed, but i think they've learned their lesson after their first round of support for the Afghan Taliban, and the result of a Taliban very angry with US presences on their lands, and Muslims now insisting on getting the Patton treatment : leave the lands to their own people after a military problem has been solved.
If the Americans forget, i'll remind them.
As i did to get the Iran nuclear deal program going by the way, and no i did *not* do that entirely by myself either. and i really can't say anything more about that.
i saw nothing but a clean execution during a war.
i saw it all over the executioner's face : don't worry, this guy is a traitor (or spy), and really deserves to die.
and then an M60 heavy machine gun pumping about 100 bullets into the guy within a few seconds.
please understand, as a spy or traitor that's an honorable quick death (at least i think so, and note that i'm neither, to anyone or for anyone - i'm a combat-diplomat and a combat-psychologist who prefers to heal rather than to kill, but i can kill when i need to, to protect myself, my loved ones, or innocent bystanders or cops on duty),
and if you see the about-to-be-executed able to *walk* to the spot of their execution is a sign that the executed hasn't been tortured too badly for the information he or she doesn't want to give up.
But..
Prove in terms of statistics that i can verify from a NGO Western source (like wikipedia.org) that the Kurds have been killing Turkish innocents brutally. Prove how long it's been since they did this.
then i'll re-consider my currently unlimited support for the Kurds, but only after verifying it, can i say objectively that the evidence is truthful and accurate. And i *need* to be able to do that to be *able* to support Turkish interests in this conflict between the PKK and Erdogan and his supporters (when it comes to the issue of the PKK desiring Turkish land).
i'll accept links to aftermath pictures this time, but to comply with forum rules let's post them as HTTP or HTTPS full website links and add a \ after HTTP or HTTPS in the address bar, to make sure nobody ends up with blood filled pictures on their screen too easily (and per forum rules that shouldn't happen at all, i know)..
Dear moderators of defence.pk, i need to know if the PKK are or have been actual terrorists.
Please let the links provided (by anyone in any thread in at least World Affairs relating to the Kurdish+International Support vs the more nationalistic Turks),
be used so that the regular viewers of this forum get a clear sense on how much if at all to support the Kurdish (long-standing and long-advertised) desire for (fully-)autonomous control of their neighborhoods.
And yes, i *could* blindly say : well, no Turkish land for the Kurds.
but i'm not the kind of guy that lets himself be guided by people i don't know well with a blindfold over my eyes, if you know what i mean.
