“Whose land is it?”
It was the Ottoman Empire’s land.
After they lost WW1, they became turkey, lost their colonies across the Middle East & North Africa, and independent nations needed help being stood up.
“made entire nation their slaves”
The Arabs Muslims did.
The decided that neither Palestine 🇵🇸 or Israel 🇮🇱 would become a nation, Egypt 🇪🇬 annexed Gaza, Jordan 🇯🇴 annexed The West Bank, they were not strong enough to take over Israel 🇮🇱, but Palestine 🇵🇸 became the slaves of the surrounding Arab nations.
Palestinians were made little war slaves.
Little war slaves like the Turkish/Ottoman Janissaries.
Little war slaves, just like the Iranian/Persian ghilman.
“Committing genocide since decades?”
Gaza & West Bank had their own land, create violent riots which kill civilians. The latest incursion, just days ago, is another example, how babies were decapitated, women raped & killed, people of all age shot… in civilian areas & a concert.
Targeting civilians for ethnic cleansing is genocide. Very clearly, Palestinians have been committing genocide, even as recently as days ago.
“Who is funding the illegal occupation of Israel”
Palestine 🇵🇸 is.
Egypt 🇪🇬 gave back their annexed Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority, under a treaty, expecting Palestine to stand up a state.
Jordan 🇯🇴 gave back their annexed West Bank to the Palestinian Authority, under a treaty, expecting Palestine to stand up a state.
The Palestinians decided to not stand up a state, give their borders to Israel to guard, gave Israel the responsibility to tax, and then sat back & receive a check for doing nothing… via a treaty.
The same treaty agreed that Palestine 🇵🇸 & Israel 🇮🇱 would agree in a treaty to trade land for peace… but Palestine 🇵🇸 continues initiate killing civilians & lose land in repetitive wars.
Yep. Palestinians are funding the occupation, made legal by their own treaty.
The world is tired of Palestinians & Israelis killing each other.
Palestine should end the treaty, stand up a state where they are at, start collecting their own taxes, guard their own borders, pay for their own police force, and agree to recognize their neighbors in peace - like a normal nation.
50 years is too long.

[Or Ka] -“US and EU imperialism”
[David] - “Ummm… PKK is designated at a terrorist organization in the US, for a very long time.”
@orka6848 - “I’m… living there”
If you’re living there, then you would know that the PKK was designated as a terrorist organization and suggesting that a terrorist organization designation, at the request of Turkey, is in any way related to imperialism, is nonsensical.
There is no way for the US to colonize Turkey by designating the PKK as a terrorist organization. The designation is a request by Turkey, to cooperate with Turkey, in Turkey’s protection of it’s citizens.
There is no way for the EU to colonize Turkey by designating the PKK as a terrorist organization. The designation is a request by Turkey, to cooperate with Turkey, in Turkey’s protection of it’s citizens.
Turkey is an EU partner, by treaties initiated by Turkey. Turkey repeatedly initiating relations with the EU has nothing to do with the EU colonizing Turkey.
Where did you ever get the idea that designating a terrorist organizations and cooperating with Turkey, when Turkey is requesting cooperation, is somehow trying to colonize Turkey?
I am uncertain how anyone can reasonably come to that conclusion through formal logic.

Hi @ivanvitanov5193 -
Suggesting Kyiv was not part of the plan, after so much equipment was brought out there and multiple attempts to encircle Kyiv were blocked (ie winning an area & then losing the area, repeated several times) is a silly suggestion. We watched weeks of this, over satellite, with reports from the ground.
Suggesting an huge aggressor country with virtually unlimited resources will get what they want, after destroying a smaller nation, is not a significant achievement.
I honestly did not know Russia was so weak, until we saw this invasion. Wow. Putin’s Russia is really nothing much more than a third world nation. Putin squandered so much, since the breakup of the USSR, depending so much on old WW2 era military equipment, only 1 more working landing ship in the Black Sea.
It is sad to see what Russia had become, in such a short period of time, under Putin’s guidance. All that oil wealth squandered, instead of invested into making Russia great... and now the military is being largely destroyed by some small neighboring country that he decided to invade.
It all makes me so sick to my stomach.
