Giving "Help with Transport" A New Meaning

Reading a bookmarked article from 2014 wherein a reference to a CRS report on oil in Kurdistan drew my attention, I finally learned why the U.S. never bothered to interfere with the theft of oil by various terror groups. Why? Well, you know. Turkey has been "helping with transport."

Erdogan threatens Kurdish annihilation, U.S. turns blind eye

Erdogan's military has been carrying out massive attacks in several southeastern Turkish towns, furthering Erdogan's promise to "annihilate" Kurdish militants. While there has been limited coverage of these matters in the U.S. mainstream press, niche news bloggers have reported both his threats and his deadly actions against his own citizens.

I'm reminded of Qaddafi and his threats to go door-to-door, supposedly the main reason for the move to the UNSC and the R2Pers to destroy Libya. Samantha Power, Susan Rice and the rest of you lousy lot:  where are you now? Erdogan can threaten annihilation and siege whole towns and your hands are over your squinty eyes?

Oh, that's right. NATO arms the Turks and it ain't with barrel bombs.
