#1 The elephant in the room that is totally ignored in this article is Islamic expansionism. Erdogan has a mission to expand Islamic domination first and Turk expansionism as a close second, by any means necessary cancel's out Turkey's influence against Russia. Especially when Russia cooperated with the invasion of Afrin.

If the four Kurdish regions (Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran) can ever get their act together as one cohesive front with the goal of statehood by any means necessary, then they will have the resources to be able to defend themselves.

#2 Pisslam is cancer, it requires the scalpel, chemo and radiation to be eradicated. Unpleasant, for sure, but a choice that must be made before it's too late.

#3 If the four Kurdish regions (Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran) can ever get their act together

It would be the first time in the entire recorded history.

#4 Invading and hoisting a flag in a foreign country is not nationalism..

It's expansionism.
