and people ask why ı despise the "Americans" soooo much . Take this hardly disputable operations against ISIL . Costs so millions of US$ a day . And what does that achieve ? It destroys refineries to cut income for ISIL . Turns out the said refineries belong to tribes and when destroyed the tribes are even more in the clutches of ISIL as we all will one day know the Saudis and the like are "paying"; never minding reports that ISIL is now stealing harvests , directly from the fields ... They stole cars from the Turkish border as their now refugee-in-Turkey owners watched from 100 meters away. What does the operation also do ? It slows down the advance of ISIL . Never minding the two - three week long siege of Ayn-al-Arab which we watch daily on TV , generally live ... As already posted carried out with 2000 men and 20 tanks . Admittedly funny old stuff like T-55s , each almost 50 60 years old ; at least in design . And what's the importance of a tank in such a scenario , even a death-trap like the '55s ? It's protection from small arms fire allied to "useful" firepower combined with "acceptable" mobility . The Jihadists are slowly grinding the seperatist resistance and as we all know they are not the kind of people to fear negative PR from a burn-everything-down way of Urban combat .
and am old enough to have watched CNN in 1991 when American jets were tank plinking 20 or 50 a night . There's no need for me to remind that ı truly hate any notion of seperatists controlling any territory , but America is supposed to be conspiring to divide Turkey and conspiring to kill us all ; using the seperatists as a proxy . Those 20 tanks would last like 20 seconds if Pentagon put its back to it . So why Washington is clearly avoiding what it should have been done totally like 20 days ago ? Part of the answer lies in the conspiracy that brought Turkey to these dire straits . Kurds were supposed to be "free" , free from the evils of the scum of the world (better known as Turks) and Kurds were supposed to literally steal some prime oil territory for the New Turkey . Despite the rhetoric the theft of Iraqi oil is not that guaranteed and Ankara feels unsecure . Another part lies in the fact the daily travails of the area sharpens Kurdish "anger" at Ankara . As usual in every single conspiracy that involves Turks we are supposed to be dumber than anything and in this case supposed to fight and die for 'stan in enough numbers so that the heroic warriors of the glorious 'stan can wipe us out in the end without too much effort . Serves the American designs like totally well . And the all important , the decisive aspect . America believes the Gulf Arabs are a better bet . A better bet as the rulers of the Greater Middle East that will like totally cleansed of anything and anybody America feels like destroying . Meaning Jihadists hence Arabs can not be allowed to defeated . Especially by a spoiled bunch of dudes who like walk on water by like defeating the Turkish Army . Or something . Since it's obvious the Gulf Arabs will also find themselves in figurative gas chambers when they are done , but that's like looking into late 2020s .
oh yeah , the timetable gets delayed once again . America instead of doing what Britain failed to do in 1914 meaning a quick victory so that the boys would be home by Christmas is apparently now talking of 1917+100 . Also gives a chance to have a Bush in the White House , after all !
and that's why there are now TV series in Turkey that talk of reactions to this glorious conspiracy that's like almost entirely destroyed the chance for an actual agreement to end the "bloodshed" . Instead of individual rights for all , Ankara has created an environment where the seperatists act as an equal and when Ankara can not accept -'cause , you know , it's gross- seperatists threaten "action" and the result will be -of course- a coup ... During the Party-Congregation fight we have "learned" there are like thousands of traitors who conspired against the country while posing as "Muslims , Islamists or good people" ... 1984 is a fact in Turkey . And of course , the TV series do certainly do not show any kinds of stepping back . When the symbol of the old , the Special Forces officer , infiltrates the Palace where the symbol of the New works and puts a gun to the head of the Intelligence Chief , the chief doesn't even blink . Though the way he waved his pen just reminds of Santa Turgut , the Prime Minister of the 1980s . Considering the father of the Voice of the Counter-Revolution is a consultant , this must surely be related to some heroism Özal showed when confronted with claims that he was establishing a Gladio of his own under the cover of organizing foreign operations against Armenian terrorism . And ı was wondering who were like sabotaging all the intel against the seperatists so that they could one day defeat this country ...
the show of course makes it clear the Congregation people are not men or stuff . The Chief baddie punched and slapped an entire police station load of people all by himself ; this is realism now ? The reality is my jaw doesn't fall down at all to hear the son and the wife of Santa Turgut have long been under investigation for his murder , right at the time the son declares he will start a party . Today's loop is 1984 is a fact in Turkey ...
and ı have no clue on the whys . Now that ISIL benefits from the "lack" of scholarship of Islam , Ankara offers to give education to masses of the Middle East . Since Al Azhar of Cairo is now an "enemy" we are supposed to provide college education to 120 to 160 thousand people . Will no doubt require a few adjustments to Turkish education system so that the sensibilities of Brothers in Faith will not be assailed ... When ı was a kid there was one thing in Turkey that stood uncorrupted no matter what and that was the system that ran the University entrance exams . You might be rich and privilidged but you would be equal with the masses less fortunate when you sat and took that damned exam . Hardly surprising that it was a casualty of the "New" . And woe will betide the guy who declares this is the way to recoup the losses Turkey will have -soon ; and influence abroad , soft power and stuff are sooo coool . We have 2 or 3 decades of hearing how superlative and stuff the international schools of the Congregation were ; it turns out they have been all traitors . We don't have 2 or 3 decades for a repeat peformance ...
