  1. It's about weather they slow-mo genocide or traditionally genocide the Palestinians. The Arab leaders are too afraid to lose their life of luxuries so they prefer not to bat an eye. This is what will lead to the destruction of the Arab world.

  2. Turkey actually has been punching above its weight, going toe-to-toe with Russia. It's a rising power with its GDP being in the op 20 in the entire world.

  5.  @TIkoIDOko  You can actually see it physically taking place. Look up how the map of Palestine has changed since 1948. You can actually see it shrinking.

  6.  @Jordanprime  There was no Palestine? Are you brain-dead by birth or do you practice? That region of the world has been called Palestine since the time of the Romans. Do you even know how old the Romans are? Syria was a separate region all together. Palestine always existed and always will. There was never any Israel however. Most Israelis today are immigrants mostly from eastern Europe and Russia. You can tell this by their names.

  7. Yeah. You can hear the irritation in his voice.

  8. I hope so. It's them or the Turks. The Arabs are hopeless.

  9. Learn about the discovery of oil. Now learn about when the current ongoing conflict began. Also, google where both WW1 and WW2 began.

  10. They can have it. Let the US build an artificial island in the Atlantic or the Pacific and they can g ahead and build their fantasy land there.

  11.  @dragosstanciu9866  Kurds were a nomadic Iranian people. Even the word "Kurd" mean nomad in Persian. They never had any ancestral land to begin with.

  12.  @RedbadofFrisia  No they were not. The Seljuk Turks were a collection or band of Turkik tribes who invaded southwestern Asia in the 11th century and eventually founded an empire that included Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine, and most of Iran. The Turks had entire empires in the Middle-east and Eastern Europe. The Kurdes never had a nation in the entire history of mankind.

  13.  @dragosstanciu9866  Yeah, the Middle-East has hundreds of other minorities as well. Your point? None of them have or are asking for their own separate state. The Kurds aren't anything special either.

  14.  @dragosstanciu9866  You see it is not a problem to begin with. The majority of Kurds in the Middle-east live in Turkey and they have never supported an independent Kurdish state. Why? Because no other state in that region has a better standard of living or quality of life than Turkey. They know that Turkey is in the top 20 in terms of GDP in the entire world and most prefer to identify as Turkish because "Turkish" is not an ethnicity, it's a nationality. "Turkik" is an ethnicity. So the Kurds can be Kurdish and Turkish both at the same time. Also, the people of Turkey have more freedom than most other nations in the region as well. What you have in Syria is 20k-30k armed to the teeth militia that forcefully recruits men and women, even kids, to fight the US' proxy wars. They do not represent the lager body of Kurdish people in the world. They are separatist groups called PKK and the YPG (Which Turkey, EU and even the US has designated as terrorists) who want to destroy their hosts nations in order to create a fictional state but the fact of the matter is, that would never happen. It requires the destruction of Turkey but you see, the US companies are the biggest investors in Turkey. Turkey also hosts US nuclear bases. It is also a NATO member and has the second biggest military in the alliance. It also, confines Russia into the Black sea and prevents it from reaching the Meditrainean via the Bosphorus straits. Turkey is infinitely more important to the US than a non-state actor like the Kurdish separatists could ever be. This is cemented by the fact that the US has betrayed the Kurds before in Iraq.

  15.  @dragosstanciu9866  Iraq already took back the major cities and oilfields the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga seized. They did this right after the Iraqi Kurds held their referendum. Those oilfields were a major source of revenue for the majority Kurdish region of Iraq. With those gone, the Iraqi autonomous region of Kurdistan is unsustainable in the long run. Not to mention that region itself is firmly divided among 2 separate Kurdish factions. So they don't have a stable leadership either. So yeah, no independent state of Kurdistan emerging anytime soon.

  17. For it's size, Turkey truly is punching above its weight. A rising power indeed.
