    🇺🇸☀ The U.S. Ambassador to Turkey is now expressing “heartfelt condolences” to the Kurdish Peshmerga, while Iraqi soldiers are killed by U.S. strikes in Anbar.

    Washington doesn’t mourn the Iraqis it kills. It only mourns the Kurds it can use for their dirty work.

      Didn’t the Kurds refuse to work with the U.S. again after it betrayed them? Is this the empire’s attempts to try and cozy up to them again?

        The clause wouldn’t be invoked. The U.S. would absolutely sacrifice Turkey for Israel. The only thing an Israeli invasion would do is shatter the illusion of NATO as a “defense pact” once and for all. I wouldn’t be surprised if some countries straight up left in protest.

          Out of morbid curiosity, I’m kind of curious on how it’ll go.

          But of course, I’m hoping they won’t get past Lebanon.
