If a guy shows up at your place dressed as a Chinese food delivery guy and you didn't order any Chinese food, don't answer the door cause it's me there to shoot you.

No not really but I've been posting a community's dedicated autism in scouring twitter and other social media daily. They seem very militant about weeding out bs sources which is nearly impossible to do because [spoiler] Muslims constantly lie.[/spoiler]

Journalists who championed the kurds six months ago will demonize them now that Trump is talking about arming them.

I appreciate that but knowing what the fuck Erdogan is really up to is next to impossible. Economically speaking he'd be a total fool to turn against the West but I doubt he takes the CIA's attempted coup lightly.

[TheReal_ND]

I don't like him at all frankly.

David Petraeus said that the biggest lesson he learned from Iraq is the danger of getting too attached to a single sectarian group. That is about the only intelligent thing I've ever heard an establishment figure say about the Middle East. For some reason, the West has had a hard on for the Kurds for decades now. All the hip journalists go visit them, and the politicians always say they are great, but some of the major Iraqi expatriates who urged Neo Cons to invade were Kurdish. The Kurds were also among the main beneficiaries of the 2003 war. I think the Kurds are a cool people and all that, but I don't romanticize them either. They are regional players, who do fucked up stuff when it suits them, and it is in their interest to get a country like the United States to become seriously involved and do their heavy lifting for them.

They are very hard to like one on one.

You meet the kurds?

Yeah.

What'd you think?

Pretty douchy.

You see why Saddam gassed them?
