Most Turks living in Uk are sound , since they left their Country has been run by Ultra Islamic nutters. If they keep ****ing with Russia they are toast.
One of them killed a local boy over a bird not long ago and got his families barbers wrecked. As long as they keep this among themselves they should be OK.
The only time I had problems with Turks is when I lived in N London and praised Ozill in the beer shop. I commented that he should be playing for Turkey Instead of Germany , they made It clear he was a Kurd and they didn't want him.
When all newspapers and TV news groups peddle this poor Turkey bullshit and Ignore the hundreds of dead Kurds bombed then you know there is something wrong. Even all the Mail online comments are calling the ****s out.
Very interesting week in terms of developments. One of the most unpredictable and, morbidly, intriguing conflicts in living memory. Quick snapshot of where things stand now: Russian "withdrawal" So Putin unexpectedly declared a pull out of Russian military operatives in Syria. Alot of conflicting views as to the rationale behind this and whether this represents a 'defeat' for the Russian forces. Majority consensus seems to be that Putin has stuck to his word, achieved the objectives set out at the beginning of the intervention - set the arena up for a political solution and they are 'quitting' while ahead. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/16/u...ithdrawal-russia-stays-a-step-ahead.html?_r=2 But what is the extent of the withdrawal. Reports are a sizeable contingent of jets will remain. The SU-35S fighers that remain are dedicated air superiority fighters - potentially a warning to Turkey to not get too many ideas. Videos also surfacing of the arrival of Russia's 2 most advanced attack helicopters - Mi-28N and Ka-52 at Hmeymin airbase. Appears Russia are switching to helicopter based CAS, more than likely for the ongoing assault on Palmyra. The current Mi-24 models can only provide daylight support and are significantly more vulnerable to MANPADs on the ground. Mi-28N at 0:16 - Unassembled Ka-52 in the background - http://i.imgur.com/1AZOS67.jpg Rojava / Kurdistan Seems the kurdish administration is to declare a federal Syrian Kurdistan - date marked for 21/3. Unsurprisingly, the Turks arent enthused http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/tu...idity.aspx?pageID=238&nID=96524&NewsCatID=352 America say they will not recognise such a move: Kurds claim America was present at conference discussing creation of a federal state Fight against Daesh Syrian army is now camped on the outskirts of Palmyra and are securing hilltops and ridges surrounding the city before the true push to take it. They do appear to be taking heavy casualties however. 'Sacrificed' seems to be a strange term to use in this context but whatever. http://en.abna24.com/service/middle-east-west-asia/archive/2016/03/16/741422/story.html Generally appears that in Syria at least IS is a busted flush and no longer possess large scale offensive ability. As if to prove this, the beseiged SAA 5th Brigade in Dier-az Zor are on the move. Keep in mind they have been beseiged for the best part of 2 years and have endured continual human wave assaults from IS in that time. That they are advancing out, in the middle of IS controlled territory is hugely significant. http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13941226000415 Signs of desperation among IS ranks as they publicly execute 50 men for 'desertion'... http://aranews.net/2016/03/isis-executes-50-militants-trying-escape-battlefront/ .. and increase 'recruitment' of child soldiers http://aranews.net/2016/03/isis-recruits-child-soldiers-compensate-loss-militant-fighters/ Rebel Infighting Seems the Russians knew all along that by imposing a ceasefire and removing a common enemy, the rebels would begin snapping among themselves.
