So you want to allow Turkey to commit serious crimes against the Kurds because of your own ideology? Horseshit. 

Daesh is not “all but defeated”. They regularly commit attacks in parts of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zour province. They target YPG forces. Have you heard about al-Hol? The SDF has barely maintained control of the camp and inside Daesh women are having a reign of terror. The ideology is very much alive, and their military…

I cannot express how utterly vile this decision is. Turkey and Turkish proxies in Syria have already committed widespread crimes against humanity. Afrin has largely been ethnically cleansed, with Kurdish homes looted by Turkish forces and allies then given to Arab refugees. Traces of Kurdish culture have been…

Perhaps they should consider how enthusiasm plays a role. “Biden is the safest choice” is not a very exciting argument. It’s also heavily dubious on the merits. 

Thanks for proving my point over and over. Your comments are rabid, abusive, and disgusting.

Until the courts start throwing these authoritarian thugs behind bars for violating court orders and flagrantly violating both due process and the rights of the people they target, they’ll keep ignoring the law. There’s been no penalty for them. The entire agency is a gigantic culture of abuse, where racism seems to…

Rabid bigoted sacks of shit like you aren’t entitled to space here. I dismissed your sickening Nazi-esque comment because it’s vile. You are vile. I hope you choke on your own sickening ideology you disgusting stain on humanity. You want to play this “I’m a Kashmiri Pandit therefore my disgusting views about Muslims…

Some of the evidence doesn’t make him look great, but I am willing to believe he went along with narratives he didn’t believe because he believed it was his job to follow orders. That he turned over the evidence without much of a fight helps his case as never having bought into the bad behavior. Read elsewhere he was…

Shocking no one, the rabid bigot continues his racist screeds fully claiming his bigotry, unlike everyone else’s is totally rational and justified.

Who let this disgusting racist troll out of the greys? Throw this piece of shit back into the garbage. 

This thread will almost certainly be overrun with bigoted trolls before long, but before that happens if you want to learn more about the issue here’s a few useful reports, specifically on the Jordan Valley and “Biblical” tourism used to support the settlements.

She’s got a few problems here. One, is she willingly made herself a propaganda tool. She admits it. She got a trip in exchange for favorable coverage. That’s unethical as hell, especially since she can no doubt afford the trip on her own.

My doctors have helped me game the health insurance system multiple times when they thought it could have benefits for my health. Giving a preliminary diagnosis they were fairly certain was wrong because by giving it I could access a medication that would still help my symptoms for example. Without doing that my…

I’m pretty skeptical, but I can’t see into her mind. She may be legitimately remorseful, though the evidence certainly gives strong reasons to doubt that. Even if she was, my point remains the same. 

The judge should not have hugged a defendant. Family members can make what choices they wish, but the image of the judge hugging someone just convicted of murder, even if she’s remorseful, is just wrong. It hammers home how quickly whiteness erases sins in our society. That doesn’t happen for a lot of people who make…

That deranged ad almost makes me sympathetic to Corbyn, and I think he’s an absolutely incompetent buffoon who is damaging Labour severely. Good Gods this is the worst timeline.

Russian and Iranian casualties in Syria make me think of this, as well as Saudi/UAE troubles in Yemen. The rebel groups in Syria still standing have a lot of old, smuggled, cobbled together equipment, all of which is inferior to the Russian and IRGC forces they sometimes face (the SAA is a mess so let’s ignore them…

Iraq had only one city over a million? Baghdad obviously, but there’s also Mosul which was larger than that even in the early 2000s. Basra is bigger than Mosul. Maybe it depends on how the city borders are counted in various data sets, but I’m not so sure about that statement. 

Blum is a far-right ideologue funded by dark money. This case was just what he could gin up. He found a small number of people who would side with his ideological crusade, this time that weren’t white, but it’s really about a white far-right view of ending “special privileges” for non-whites. Any case he gets is…

Gods you’re stupid and disingenuous. Facebook swallows up other companies to create an anti-competitive environment Warren has been abundantly clear in her issues with the big tech companies. It’s not about destroying Facebook, it’s about breaking up many of the other services and companies they’ve bought. Warren…
