Turkey should neve have been allowed in NATO. Poor Kurds are the only rational people in that whole region.

Nothing that we attempt in that region is rooted in anything rational ......in fact the exact opposite is the expected outcome

Do some digging on how we dealt with Pakistan for the last 10 years trying to get them to quit providing material aid to the Taliban. Its fucking astonishing anyone with fucking brain could see what was going on and not go straight to the media with it.

We essentially gave the Pakis a blank check to bill us for military action without providing any proof of said action at all. It turned into a slush fund of fraud and abuse for the Pakis totaling 10's of billions of dollars all while their ISI was training and aiding a Taliban resurgence in Afghan. 

That shit is just the tip of the iceberg
