Hiding out in Idlib, imagine that...
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the world’s most notorious terrorist, was killed by US military forces during a raid, President Donald Trump said in a Sunday morning press conference. The former ISIS leader’s death put an end to a years-long hunt and gives Trump another major victory in his fight against ISIS.
But Trump went further than just announcing the raid’s success. He answered questions after his dramatic remarks, divulging an astonishing amount about US intelligence and American military operations that could benefit American adversaries in the future. He displayed a deep misunderstanding of how ISIS works.
Hiding out in Idlib, imagine that...
Who owns Idlib? Ya, our so called allies the Turks.
All Libs by definition misunderstand how ISIS works.
Libs put the "tard" in Libtard.
If he did kill himself detonating his own suicide vest he will be seen as a martyr to his followers who will now double down.
Question is were those children girls and will they be considered part of his harem of 72 virgins in heaven. Who are to be taken and then made magically virgins every day.
I can see why Lib CHUDS like that set up.
Not owns, but protects. That is something to repeat and remind people about.
dog,
I'm sorry a destroyed your stupid, racist aregument.
Truly I am, because perhaps now you feel the need. The need to massacre some Kurds to set Demographic trends right.
Anon you just proved what a ignorant moronic troll that you are. You must not understand the written word. Idlib is in Syria, not Turkey. And it is not A Kurdish area. And I was saying that you had a good point and that needed to be repeated to let people know. Like Pakistan Hiding out Ben laden. Instead you resort to name calling. I repeat MORON.
Maybe I misread it. I read 'protects not owns' as splitting hairs so as to make the turks not culpable.
Possession they say is 9/10ths the law. Turkey invaded the land north of Idlib (Antioch/Iskanderun and region) about 100 years ago and now it is Turkish.
IMO if the Syrians do not drive the Turk out, then it will become Turkish within 1 generation.
To the North, NE & NW of Aleppo was Kurdish and the Turks took it.
Seems as though the Kurds settled well to the south of Idlib. see the link immediately below.

And this would be why the Kurds want their own country.

IMO WNU would be sympathetic to The Kurds and would espouse a similar fix to the one he advocates for the ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine.
IMO if that is not feasible, then the Kurds are better off to have their own country.
It seems they will have their own country soon in Turkey.
I do not troll, but I am argumentative.
