Not a single mention of what is actually going on from any of you.
I read that intellectually devoid drivel from The National Review (twice) and that clown doesn't have a clue because he's too busy looking at the shallow happenings of today instead of at the root of the cause, which is found in yesterday. dino and doug, while not clowns, don't get it because they are too busy acting like partisans, concerned more with furthering an agenda, not an understanding.
Wake up, put down your propagandized media sources and try reading history, my friends. You can start with the Ottoman Empire, the clash between the Ottomans and the Safavids and then skip to the unratified Treaty of Serves. All you need to know about Kurds and Turks is right in front of you. What's happening there has been going on since at least 1514 and neither Obama nor Trump makes one damn bit of difference.
