Turkey should be invaded by a coalition of Syria, Armenia, Russia, Kurdistan and Iran for it's crimes against the Kurds, Armenians and it's support of the Palestinian genocide. I can't believe Erdogan gets away with pretending to support Palestine while materially aiding Israel. Fucking hell, put this opportunist down already. The Kurdish rebels should car bomb him, IRA style

I think we're kind of burned out on it. There was a close following of Turkish fascism for a few years but afaik there hasn't been any real movement and it's gotten eclipsed by other emerging nightmares.

It's not that it isn't important, but there's so much happening all the time. No one person could hope to keep track of everything. It's so overwhelming.

There has been a fair amount of discussion of Turkish infiltration of the US government within the US, as it seems like every other government official is taking comically ridiculous bribes from the Turkish government. The mayor of NYC is currently being indicted for it.

You might check in with the /c/News mega. It's more international than the rest of the site, there are likely people there who are up to date.

Because of their positions on ukraine calming down russiaboos, their reaproachment with Assad calming down shiaboos and their support for Azerbaijan calming down genocidal natoids. Remember that Trump threw the kurds under the bus because he thought they were commies, nobody will help the ypg.

Why don't you go over there and help the YPG clamp down Syrian oil assets yourself? 😁

My point exactly. Turkey is in the goldilocks zone of murdering Armenians, Kurds, Syrians and potentially Russians if we ever have ww3. For geopolitical reasons their victims are on their own.

Truly a shame the US is not providing unlimited support for the Kurdish ethnostate. I just wish someone would look after them uwu
