      How is China related to Trump and Bibi’s favorite caliphate? ISIS is bad, unless it isn’t?

      Who is my enemy today? I can’t keep track

        And yet a few days ago the brutal terrorism courts that killed people for owning books were dismantled and all previous decisions nullified. And yet the Kurds and Turkey are no longer viciously fighting each other.

        I’m not going to say the theocratic and sexist new government is good, but it’s sure as fuck better than Assad.

          You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

          They’re setting the streets on fire as we speak, while the jihadi “security forces” open fire on protesters. And they’re Sunni protesters, FFS.

          Where’s the “white hats” now? 🙄

            Only news I can find about protests is over fuel prices.

            EDIT: There was some news about a protest ending in deaths following a Kurdish soldier being captured and killed by members of Baqara recently. Of course this idiot I’m conversing with couldn’t be bothered to think of such a counterpoint.

              So it’s okay to shoot them?

              Kinda ironic, since the decade+ civil war was all over securing a pipeline to Europe, same as Ukraine. Any objective historians of the future will see these as the Pipeline Wars.

              Just one difference.
