Kurds: unlucky location or unlucky with leadership. Lessons for all

[Old_Observer]

The Kurds thought the stars are aligned in their favour. Israel needs them terribly and since Israel influences US, America will need them too.

 

The Kurds IMHO missed two countries. Turkey and Iran have been great empires in the past and are still powerful countries.

 

Russia asked the Kurds openly to join Assad, then Russia can protect them as it protects Assad, they refused trusting that America/Israel will overthrow Assad.

Opportunities for nations are same like opportunities for individuals. One wrong step one wrong word and nations have perished just like individuals.

 

IRAQ is gone to Shiia world, even the Americans have given up. The Kurds in IRAQ are now begging the government for negotiations.

 

What a sad story of these people, and never seem to learn that far away empires come and go, but your neighbor is gift of nature, will always stay.

 

Turkey made mistake going with Saudi to overthrow Assad, but this time they are forced to fight Kurds. Hopefully the operation will be short and less civilians suffer.

 

 

Its a lesson to all of us on how we deal with brother, neighbour who is gift of nature and never give priority to far foreign against your brother or neighbour. It would be sad if any Somali has to fight against each other for example for the Qatar UAE shenanigan that can end in 30 minutes, but leave you with decades of problems for us poor.

The average Kurd in Turkey is a good citizen. The problem is the Marxist terrorist groups in Syria and Turkey.  These groups are stuck in the 70's Ocalan era. 

 

Turkey has every right to stop these groups from gaining more influence.

Absolutely. Turkey has not only right, but obligation to protect the country from future Israel and American plans.

 

The Turks took wrong turn with Erdogan. He was so much in favour of making peace, some turks even suspected might have Kurdish roots. If you disappoint a friend, you get worst enemy, worst than the one who was your enemy from beginning. Now the Kurds also disappointed Vladmir Putin by refusing to hand to Assad territory they control.
