Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll kick Turkey out of NATO, impose sanctions and send billions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Iraq in response to Erdoğan’s Needless War of Choice™
Turkey has actually had some sanctions placed on it by some Western countries in the somewhat recent past, but then again they are a muslim non-white country so it’s not totally surprising they are treated as the black sheep within NATO.
No you see the US and EU said their were terrorists so its fine guys. /s

The title is very misleading. Fuck Erdoğan, but this it’s not trying to take over Iraq. They’re killing Kurdish separatists with Iraq’s permission (which is also bad).
hmmmm, but I will concede a bit, it seems to be a military operation like putin’s, and the kurds have been a pain in the ass. Turkey is getting bolder though, fuck them
Can’t imagine the Kurds will be so helpful next time America needs them to do their cleaning up.
wait fuck what? WHAT?
Wait, is this with consent from the autonomous Kurdish authorities there and just against PKK specifically?
