Built around 537 by Roman emperor Justinian, the Hagia Sophia served as the head church of the eastern Roman Empire and essentially, all of Christendom. Turkey is rededicating the church to the role of mosque in P.M. Erdegons bid to assume primacy as the Sunni head mullah in the region. Russia and Syria have plans on teaming up to build a replica of the church as a thumb in the eye of the Turks.
I wailed, gnashed my dentures, and rent my cloths in despair when Trump abandoned the Kurds in Syria. Well,……. I freaked to soon. KLIKDAPIK below and get educated. If I had known I wouldn’t be gumming my Mapo now.
I spotlight this fighter because she is female and is allowed to , nay encouraged to fight shoulder to shoulder with both female and male countrymen. ……..BRAVO LIL’ SIS! ……But she is dead and cannot hear my Kudos on her grit and courage. And it is important to recognize the press of motivation that puts women on the front line with enemies who will reserve a little extra cruelty, a dab more humiliation, and a load more of cruel intentions. The best a female fighter can expect is gang rapes even to the point of death.. You have got to want victory to enter into engagements were the the rules of war are to be as openly cruel and torturous as possible. The Rules are….NO RULES. THE WHOLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST IS A ‘CAGE MATCH’ FROM WHICH NO ONE SURVIVES
AZIZI JALAL A KURDISH FIGHTER AFFILIATED WITH SDF FIGHTERS, IN THE RANKS OF KURD FIGHTERS….NOT ONLY WAS SHE KILLED…BUT HER BODY WAS DESCRATED
GODS BLESSINGS TO YOU AZIZI…..YOU’RE MURDERERS CALLED YOU A WHORE AS THEY DANCED UPON YOUR BODY, WHEN YOU DIED FIGHTING FOR YOUR PEOPLE. WHAT DO YOU CALL THE FEMALE CREATURES RESEVED FOR jIHADIS WHEN THEY ARE SENT TO HEAVAN . ……..HEAVANLY WHORES?
“All the European countries will kneel before us.” So says an MP for Turkey, of possible responses to condemnation of Turkeys invasion of Syria. Sounds rather biblical doesn’t it. Turkey has it’s sights set on the Kurdish population that has been fighting ISSIS for and with America et. al.
The Kurds have been strong allies since they fought with Americans to subdue Iraq during the ousting of Saddam Hussein. The, Kurds have a strong affection for the U.S. ….at least they have had an affection for the U.S. in the past. The abandonment of the Kurds, long considered terrorists by the Turks, has given a green light to genocide.
The Turks have had journeyman’s training in genocide since they murdered as many as 1.5 million Armenians in 1915. Tayyip Erdogan the present president of Turkey has been revitalizing a fundamentalist Islam in Turkey, with all the repression and oppression of it’s constituents one comes to expect from regressive Muslim countries..
TAYYIP ERDOGAN, PRESIDENT OF TURKEY IS INVADING SYRIA
Erdogan is threatening to release 3.6 million migrants on Europe should he feel the need. This is a rather odd threat. I have never heard anyone threaten another country with an attack of homeless people?
The fact still remains Erdogan was going to invade Syria. There was nothing we could do to stop it. The Kurds will be given the same treatment that Turkey would afford any group of terrorists. They will be killed, tortured and maltreated in countless ways. And unless we want to start a conventional war with Turkey, there is nothing we can do to stop the carnage. But I do hope we destroy Turkeys economy as a response to their nasty behavior.
It is an Uphill Battle for the Kurds. Ever loyal allies, recently abandoned, to be killed by insurgent Turkish armies, are pleading for some help in staving off the surprise attack Trump helped in setting up with Turkey. When I say that we helped I don’t imply a deliberate compliance with the Turks. The surprise move, with most of Trumps military advisers uninformed of the move before it was made could not have been predicted by the Kurds. Essentialy his pull out took the Kurds by surprise. They were, in the words of a westerner,dry-gulched by the move and left to be ethnically cleansed from the Earth. KLIKDAPIK for more.
Our “allies” have something to worry about. The Kurds fought with us during the Iraqi debacle under Bush. They fought shoulder to shoulder in fighting ISSIS. Now that we have defeated the attempts of ISSIS to establish a lasting Caliphate……we abandon the Kurds to be massacred by the Turks. KLIKDAPIK for more
When Dubya Bush, you know, the younger one, declared war on Iraq…….I birthed a cow. I thought he was attacking the wrong enemy and I was right. Trump thought it a needless war as well but I wasn’t even aware nor cared what Donald Trump believed. He was just some rich guy who hosted a terrible reality show that was so embarrassing to watch I couldn’t make it through half an episode let alone watch the program in its entirety.
When Obama ran out of Iraq like a scalded cat I knew it was going to be bad. And it was. They are killing each other in carloads in Iraq now and nothing good has come of the war we spent blood and treasure to win. It has been pissed away by the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s of the dunes.
Anyone old enough to be cognizant during the last 50 years will tell you that the cold war was fought by proxy. Conflicts might happen, but they were fought by countries who had aligned with the U.S. or Soviet Union. Like a good mob hit, the real big boys never got dirty. The dirty work was farmed out to those who either owed us or wanted something from us. Sometimes it would be a legitimate democracy in existential danger of being overwhelmed by our opponent, the USSR.
When working in such a cluster hunch, it is always wise to look to the collateral effects of each action and above all remember and keep your friends close. Friends in the middle east are eyes on the middle east. If we lock the middle east out……we will be locked out! The situation in the middle east has been a mess since the Ottoman Empire disintegrated. And with he mess that grew from the ruins of both Iraq and Libya following their despots being disposed. It appears that Muslim societies work best with a bully to wrangle the population. Most owe first allegiance to various tribes and tribal conflict is a familiar and accepted way of life. It takes a strong arm and an iron fist to hold the fighting between factions at bay in a Muslim culture, democracy can take a hike. This fact is not lost on the Russians and it suits them to their toes. Nothing like a puppet who is just as corrupt as you need him to be to run things for you.
By just walking out and closing the door we have shut Pandora’s box and within that box we may hear machinations and wheels turning as they devise, with no prying American eyes to hinder, various violent plots to take the fight wherever they choose.
The Kurds, who have always been stalwarts and solid backers of the U.S. have fought shoulder to shoulder with us on many occasions. If we walk out on them they will be massacred by the Turks who are planning an invasion as soon as we leave. The Kurds, left to guard the ISSIS captives will undoubtedly abandon their post and let ISSIS fighters spread like a flushed covey of quail, to regroup and continue their rotten business down the road. Iran can bond even more deeply to the Russians, and Syria’s Abbas, in building a trifecta of evil to control the whole area. Then there is the Israeli dilemma. Always our friends. Are we dead certain that this move might not be a danger to Israel? Have we even investigated this scenario? Israel cannot be abandoned.
I chose an Israeli paper to link to on this posting, for they are right in the middle of the perpetual firefight that is the middle east. Where do they stand? Did Trump give BIbI a call and ask what he thought? The very existence of Israel is in the balance. I hope we haven’t pulled the rug from under our strongest ally in the area.
Hamas is thrilled……more Christians killed! It seems the Christian killing has either taken a sharp upswing in recent months or the Main Stream Media has decided to start coverning sub-Saharan Africa and came up with something like news.
When queried about this lack of news coverage they just replied, “Well killing Christians is not a front page item.” No one much cares about Christians!
Five children were killed in an attack on Christians in Syria. Attacks on Christians garner less heat from the Mainstream press, as Syria stands as the 11th most dangerous area for Christians in the world.
“Marwan! You get back in this house right now! Suppers ready!” Germany is coming apart at the seams under the weight of relentless incursions across their borders and P.M. Merkels political career. Debates and policies across the globe are duking it out over what to do with all the migrants flooding into Europe from the “much less fun,” middle east. Greece, collapsing under the weight of it’s sunken economy has furrows worn across their frontiers from young, employable migrant men. Not only do these wimps treat their women like a pile of stinky laundry. When the goin’ gets tough………… they take off and abandon the women and children, (It’s hard to run fast in a full body Hijab). And children are the responsibility of the woman.
So the left in every nation is on fire! “All borders must be abolished and the world should be free for all!” ……. Free health care, free housing, free transportation, free tuition, free food! free etc. etc..!
The trans global debate is on and hot! Yet. Yet……..All these dudes want is a good time! Wave bye bye women of Syria et al.! Your men have dumped you and their old life and are starting over with a geographical cure!” (sans the responsibility of wives and children).
I THOUGHT STUPIDITY GOT DEFEATED IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Please Mr. President don’t repeat your lib predecessors error of telling them what you are going to do. You have done great at pushing your agenda through a crowd of “Drag your feet” Dems and celeb detractors. Keep up the good work and hobble that bitch Assad.
I don’t envy your position but you took on the job, now put a finish to it!
