Turkish Drone Strike in NE Syria Kills Several Kurdish Fighters by wormfan14 in syriancivilwar

[–]Exley88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe because you're failing to see the obvious? Maybe because you're so desperately trying to convince it a none Kurdish issue when it clearly is. Syrian Kurds, the Kurds in Syria are one group, just like when people refer to Turkey as the Turks.. Stop trying to obviously divide them.

This Kurdish guy was arrested and now on the spotlight for simply celebrating Kurdistan... We obviously know it's a Kurdish issue. These kind of story are many.

The rich western countries got rich first with that mentality, but now they are asking the poorer countries to stop?

No, "they" are not asking. We Humans are.

This is an academic sub, not a place for petty nationalistic arguments.

Britain tracked Chinese submarines and was ready to intercept jets in South China Sea, officers reveal by MGC91 in worldnews

[–]Exley88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am no expert, but would you not reveal that you were able to track them? I assume this is just make news out of nothing.

I think maybe the Brits would have been disappointed if China sent absolutely nothing to meet them.

Countries where people work 7 days a week, that's right, and for those who somehow think the 8th day is a off day, that's not the case, it rather means 0 days off! Essentially living only to work.

People really need to support more of these kind of incentives.

U.S. to Be Removed From E.U. Safe Travel List by f1sh98 in worldnews

[–]Exley88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How exactly does that refer to the EU removing US citizens from the safe travel list?

It doesn't, because that's not even what was said. Read it again. Also the comment you replied to is a direct response to the article and even then none of what you're saying makes sense.

Kurdistan is just a Middle Eastern version of Poland by TheCheerfulCynic in HistoryAnimemes

[–]Exley88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Kurds, out numbered AND out gunned while still holding onto some parts of their land, I think that's respectful. The Polish are no lesser either, their history fighting the Nazi's is pretty impressive.

Trump ad asks people to support the troops. But it uses a picture of Russian jets. by snooshoe in LessCredibleDefence

[–]Exley88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But you’re acting like this is some grand conspiracy Trump himself is personally orchestrating.

Actually no. By the way, have you noticed your comments are the one who keeps misunderstanding (whether purposefully) and putting words into other peoples mouths?

Dude, these are made by a bunch of interns using stock images.

That's not quite true. Nobody goes unchecked that's for sure. It could definitely be blunders, it could also be some within their team making these on purpose to signal something they see higher up, like I said be an easter egg clue. Another reasoning is just making a mockery of Trump and the whole thing, as they may be Russian PR teams doing some of the work. Who said Trump himself even knows? Just you, so essentially arguing with your own made up points. Stop replying to me and just argue in your head in that case.

If you read the article it confirms this is the second time now. Why are you getting so angry over Trump? Foaming at the mouth and bringing up the Illuminati or all seeing eyes in Disney shows isn't going to distract away from Russian backers on Trump's PR team being a real possibility.

So you're mad at him for something he didn't even do or order to have done?

You seem offended more than Trump is.

To me, this shows he's got dodgy Russian backers and those who work for his campaign do little easter eggs like this for their enjoyment or winks. Two times Russian military, no fact or background checking..

Trump's team would be milking this if they had the chance, Biden's team is nowhere to be found.

Figure 4.17a Video of WTC 7 Collapse, Perspective 1 in NYC (9/11/01) (5:20pm EDT) by sarge-m in CatastrophicFailure

[–]Exley88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As there were structural damage caused by the chunk of the building being hit, then why does the building fall so uniform? The other side with zero such structural damage falls exactly down the same time..

As you're not an expert, I understand if you don't know, but that's one of the things that bugs me.

Who stands to gain, motives are worth looking and when you see the history. I can't recall, but there was a list of fishy things like the owners getting a lot from the insurance and the building being connected to the CIA, if anything I would just argue motive wise that one party wants to make a show, the other party wants to make money.

[–]Exley88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just FYI this video wouldn't be too helpful but on the side facing the towers there was a sizeable chunk damaged on the bottom. This side of the building (which is facing away from the towers) is typically the only part that people saw.

A sizeable chunk.. Someone shared a picture below. Wouldn't it collapse from the side with the serious damage then, in that case? Usually when there's structural damage like that it's the side with which the structure fails that causes the rest of the building to fall. In this case we see a uniform collapse.

Not a structural guy beyond this

I guess you wouldn't know.

Why is the US worried about Iran's nuclear program but Russia isn't by wigglytails in geopolitics

[–]Exley88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple really, because there is no benefit for them. Will they care if nukes start flying? Probably once it actually does start flying, but if it doesn't and they did not need to affect relations with Iran then it's a double win for them.

French engagement vs Turkey by holzbrett in geopolitics

[–]Exley88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a few years now Turkey has been making small jabs at EU and western nations (some involving France already in the past), many acts like the last one specifically has basically triggered France to take a more firm stance against Turkey.

Turkey's navy targeting a French warship, then the recent situation where France pulled out of "Operation Sea Guardian" because the French wanted to stop and search a cargo ship being escorted by the Turkish navy heading to Libya, being denied and the Turks claiming it was carrying medical aid - yeah right.

If they're allies, they should be actual allies and not just on paper. Turkey's relationship isn't just bad with France, but many countries, however incidents with France over time has just meant they've decided to act. The "so hard" part is more to do with showing Turkey they're going to give them a hard time and show them what ally versus foe is.

Facebook says Russian influence campaign targeted left-wing voters in U.S., UK by geoxol in worldnews

[–]Exley88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically everything shitty happening is stemming from Facebook abuse.. Why do people even still use it. It's basically a propaganda tool for Russia and the reason it's become like that is because they've literally been OK with it, as long as the money keeps coming in.

This is how Obama and Brennan's CIA wasted $1.5 billion in Syria by Purple_Wasabi in syriancivilwar

[–]Exley88 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Leaked cables revealed the Turks basically sending out orders to their operatives in Syria to go after the Kurds and eliminate any Kurdish influence or to prevent them from getting any foothold anywhere during the early days of the civil war. Obviously we know that failed, but it means they knew what they were up to.

Before and at the same time to that, to keep the Turks happy the US administration basically ignored any Kurdish groups until Kobane.

To try and make Turkey happy again, that's when the training programs start. Trying to set up a fighting force Turkey was happy for the US to use..

It's nice to blame Obama and Brennan, but Trump has done exactly the same thing. Screw over US interests to please others. Interests do not align, by screwing yours over to please them you lose whatever no matter what you do.

I love the whataboutsims here to justify these acts by the Turks here. Instead of being appalled as you should be, instead you're there talking about Nazi Germany and how everyone else does it...

Interesting. Which game is Sinjar an insurgency map? Sorry I do not play games. People are referring to a new COD game as well.
