| #10 The Kurds saw this. Believe me, this was definitely on their spectrum of possibilities. This is why the very FIRST thing they asked for was heavy weaponry and ammunition for it. A year ago. The US, to keep Erdogan happy and not scare the Iranians, has steadfastly refused to deliver more than token amounts which is being hoarded for last-ditch defense of their core "homeland" territories in Iraq. The French initially arranged some 122 HE shells, but not much since then - "airstrikes" are preferred by the western powers because they control those completely, and can hold them off. Plentiful artillery provides true independence for a small nation-state like that. |

| #7 made the mistake of putting "fill-in-the-blank" in carets before "Betrays the Kurds" - damn that HTML anyway.... And you didn't close the command, Hupavish Clock2537. However, the internet still seems to be working, so presumable Fred's computer didn't recognize the command and then try to execute it. ;-) Next time just use an underline or several to visibly create a fillable blank: __fill in the blank___ |
