2 years agoTurkey is killing Kurdish separatists with (according to Turkey’s president) Iraq’s consent. It’s literally not an invasion against Iraq. You could claim it’s an invasion against the Kurdish insurgency, maybe.
Your post sounds like a knee-jerk reaction that doesn’t attempt to understand the situation. I prefer the separatists over Turkey but come one, this is just a silly reply.
No, it is not just racism. There would have been an element of that, but it’s certainly far from the main reason. That idea is contradicted by the facts that a very significant portion of Indigenous people and Indigenous activists voted against it.
Linking to this useful post, explaining why various progressive groups were against it.
