Turkish Invasion Of Syria Raises Risk Of 'Genocide'

Let's not forget: invasion of Syria and genocide there have been started by Obama. He and his boss Soros must be judged by International Military Tribunal for their war crimes.
Obama did not invade Syria.

No one said that. So yes. It is a load of shit.

There are better ways of handling this.

Wonder what the hysterical ninnies will be screeching about in a few months when theres no mass shootings at Joker screenings and no Kurdish genocide?
Are you calling our military “hysterical ninnies”?
 
This is going to be really really bad. Do you trust Erdogon to "protect" civilians etc?? Hell No. It seems more like it's an ethnic cleansing so he can move Syrian refugees in and wash his hands of them.

Turkey never admitted to the Armenian genocide.



Christian Leaders Say Turkish Invasion Of Syria Raises Risk Of 'Genocide'

The airstrikes and artillery bombardments had barely begun in the Syrian city of Qamishli, just across the border from Turkey, when Bassam Ishak's cell phone began ringing.

"People were so scared," Ishak says. "They were telling me, 'They are bombing us right now!'"

Ishak, a Syriac Christian leader, was in Erbil, Iraq, monitoring developments along the Syria-Turkey border.

"The attacks are widespread," Ishak tells NPR by phone. "They are targeting residential areas in Qamishli, where people of all religious backgrounds live. We think this is a message to the Kurds and Christians there to leave, so Turkey can move refugees there. We think it's a form of ethnic cleansing."

By Thursday, Turkish ground forces had reportedly seized at least one village from Kurdish fighters in Syria, and the U.N. refugee agency reported that thousands of people were fleeing the Turkish advance.

Turkey launched its incursion into Syria three days after President Trump told Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that U.S. troops stationed along the border would be withdrawn. About 40 or 50,000 Christians live in the area under attack, according to Ishak, president of the Syriac National Council of Syria, and U.S. Christian leaders have been almost unanimous in criticizing what they see as Trump's acquiescence to the Turkish move.

"What a disgrace," tweeted Russell Moore, head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. "Kurdish Christians (and others among the brave Kurds) have stood up for the United States and for freedom and human dignity. ... What they are now facing from Erdogan's authoritarian Turkey is horrifying beyond words."
Sadly I think "raises the risk" is a huge understatement. I'm thinking it practically guarantees it.

Like a plan. Remember that concept? You can be forgiven if you don’t because there hasn’t been a sighting of a plan for the last 3 years - it is thought to be mythical.

A plan generally involves working with your generals, national security advisors, and allies to come up with what ultimately has to be a political solution.

You said there are better ways. You obviously know if some.
Or do you lie?

Whoever is floating the idea that hordes of sex-deprived men are going to shoot up the joker movie and that the Turks are going to exterminate every last Kurd seems pretty hysterical to me.
 
the freeing of liquor stores and closing of churches IS a little ironic.....
however, from the POV of public health-----it makes practical sense
in my brilliant mind
 
seems to me-----based on that which is Turkey and that which is
Russia and----that which is syria------the christians of Syria are
at great risk of Turkish aggression----with no recourse. Iran
won't help
