I am a university student in Istanbul who wants to be an academician and since I have born there is always a problem (mainly this one) which puts us on an economic crisis. I am not going to comment more because I don't think I can in this country. Edit: Economic crisis is the term we use for inflation ravaging since the government says there is no inflation ravaging.

11 000 Kurds died fighting ISIS..... While folks in Europe went crazy thinking ISIS was going to win and be at their borders, ISIS was literally a driving distance from Kurdish Erbil and thought ‘eh, we can handle it.’
@Icehzz Historically speaking its a Turkmen city, kurds and ISIS relocated Turkmens to other areas (which is ethnic cleansing for UN) now their population is %2.
You mean the same ISIS that had only gotten more powerful during Obama's 2 terms but somehow was easily crushed by US forces within days of Trump literally just letting the generals do what they needed to? Is it possible that the Kurds could hold ISIS off because ISIS was in reality incredibly pathetic?
Kira Slith ISIS was incredibly pathetic? Are you stupid? ISIS devastated most Middle Eastern armies in days and captured vast cities across Syria and Iraq. The Iraqi army collapsed, the Syrian army collapsed and this was whilst they were under 24/7 coalition bombings. Never in the Middle East has there been a powerful, drugged up fanatic fighting force as powerful as ISIS. The only reason why ISIS was finished by the time Trump came in was because of Obamas bombings + the hard work of the Kurds in Syria and Iraq

As a turk, I appreciate how you showed the past of turkey, however you did miss out a few details. Many Turks don't like PKK not just because of Turks hating Kurds (a "small" group do) but because the PKK was known famously for killing Turkish and Kurdish civilians in its goal. The ends werent universally hated, but the means certainly were. Also communism is BIG no no in Turkey (see 1980 turkish coup) so thats 2 things turkey doesn't like mixed together. Erdogan, being an authoritarian leader who did everything to stay in power (like shutting off powers in cities to stiffle political leaders speeches during the time right before the election), feared a free Kurdistan and attacked to make a safe zone, Many Turks, tired of thousands of refugees and PKK bombings and killings, just wanted to be over which is why many will support this. Overall I do appreciate that you went through with this video, its unbiased compared to most takes on the conflict and didn't just scream "they did to armenia so they will do it to em kurds" (yes turks are aware of the genocide, just that many nationalists will REE about it not happening tho) liked.

Socialism is, broadly, the destruction of private ownership of the means of production, such as factories, raw materials, and tools.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already (over 4k comments already!), and you kind of alluded to it but then kind of didn't, but the PKK and the PYD (the Syrian party) had a major change in line in the 1990s, away from the old Marxist-Leninist-national liberation struggle with the goal of an independent nation-state, toward a more anarchist approach (Murray Bookchin was a huge influence), so that they *do not* call for an "independent Kurdistan" anymore, even though everyone still thinks they do. The experiment in Rojava is, from everything I've heard from people who've been there, in addition to being based on equality of the sexes as you mentioned, also not based on any ethnic supremacy, or any other kind of hierarchy - the whole basis of their political program is the elimination of hierarchies. And they are not calling for territorial secession from Syria, just regional autonomy - just leave them alone to do their thing. With everything else Assad's having to deal with lately, that's got to be the best deal he's been offered by anyone for a long time.
"And they are not calling for territorial secession from Syria, just regional autonomy - just leave them alone to do their thing. With everything else Assad's having to deal with lately, that's got to be the best deal he's been offered by anyone for a long time. " -Nice that someone noticed that.
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. Those fighters in Rojava supporting the PYD and the PKK are not the same as they were when the PKK insurgency began in the 80s. Even more different for the PYD, since it was formed after this ideological shift had occurred towards that liberation socialist anarchism (aka, democratic confederalism). In that sense, the PYD (and their armed YPG-YPJ fighters) has even less of that authoritarian Marxist-Leninist baggage than the PKK.
Next time just say that they want extra democracy, direct democracy through neighborhood assemblies and cooperatives. People are likely to embrace that explanation and look upon it favorably, keep it simple, that's how you get the lowest common denominator.
@@8jijjoo126 Thanks but there's a couple things not-right in what you said. 1, Rojava is the name of the region. 2, The Kurds in Rojava are not seeking a separate nation-state for themselves - but they *do* want independence in the sense of regional autonomy. Their program is about doing away with the nation-state altogether; their problem is the existing nation-states (among which their region was thoughtlessly apportioned after WWI) not letting them do that. I've always been a bit skeptical of anarchist philosophy, but if that project makes practical sense anywhere, it's Kurdistan.
Watching this now with Afghanistan, have to say 2019 was a pretty normal year in comparison. Kurds also still have their land while turks are becoming less interested.
@@Yanate1991 Yeah we murder Assyrians which is why we give them full cultural rights and recognition and have them in volunteer brigades, yeah like you said, we kill them.
I've been following the Syrian War closely since it has begun. I've never heard of any reports of Kurds and Syrians fighting each other. By all accounts they support each other; as is to be exspected - they're kinda in the same boat here.
The dilemma is either you stand a moral stand with your good old pal the kurds against the second biggest military in NATO. Or you sell them out and keep a much stronger ally in the region. This is a hard decision and it baffles me to see people condemning trump just because they were rooting for the kurds for some years now like some soccer fans. I still haven't made up my mind thought
In realpolitik, Turkey is a WAY better ally then the Kurds. For that reason alone, screw the kurds. But going beyond that, I don't like Turkey either. I would like to bring them down to size, but America doesn't need to be a war monger anymore. Let other countries fight. It's always happened and will happen, unless we kill everyone there.
Perfectly Fine need I remind you that people die every day why should I as an American care about someone 7,000 miles away because of some lose moralistic out look on the quote sanctity of human life news flash humans have been killing each other in wars going back to Neolithic times so why should we intervene. I’m so tired of this post Holocaust view that the worlds problems is our problem BS it’s sad but everyone got a sob story if it doesn’t effect America and American lives it’s not our problem
That would be one thing, but this adminstration had convinced the kurds to dismantle their fortifications on the border as a first step to deesclate tensions. The did so beliving that the US would act as a moderater. And bring some coexistance with Turkey. The kurds made the first step to peace, and then Trump said, f$#k them. www.militarytimes.com/flashpoints/2019/09/03/us-backed-syrian-kurds-to-remove-fortifications-from-turkish-border-as-part-of-safe-zone-deal/ They trusted us, and took major steps to show a willingness to diplomacy. And the US betrayed them and Turkey attacked.
The reason hwy people care is one we are human , we are all human and with the age of the internet people now see those on the other side of the globe as a fellow humans a step to us working together as a species. The other reason eventually issue over there could/will affect us we had the same thought in ww2 that an European war would never affect thing is if we didn't intervene we might of seen a soviet union that controlled all of mainland Europe and looking at the cold war that would of effected us because add to the soviets being stronger , we wouldn't of reawakened our military bringing it into the modern day and that also means no nukes this was prevented because we decided to care about a "sob story" across the ocean.

Thank you so much for talking about the struggles of the Kurdish people. You really show the real history and listen to all sides of the conflict. ❤☀💚👍👍
not gonna side with either poles here.. but I think you need to look at the situation more closely.. you have missed many important context information that basically answers all of your questions.. i'll lay them out in a few bullet points: 1- Turkey called Trump to inform him that the vast majority of Turkish parliament (conservatives, liberals and centrists) has approved and is pushing for a full scale military campaign against all PKK affiliated groups that are within 20km of the Turkish border (and is expected to happen very soon).. in the call they stated that they will be careful not to get too close to American soldiers but cannot guarantee they won't.. The PKK is recognized by the US and EU as a terrorist organization (for decades).. and admittedly in congregational hearings, many defense secretaries and military officials testified that the YPG is a branch of the PKK and takes orders from them, and have been re-branded as the SDF to help the US fight ISIS, in exchange for their help they would be granted rule of all captured territories.. So Trump was advised to avoid this type of confrontation as it is meaningless for the US.. risking war with the 2nd largest army in NATO (threatening the future of NATO as a union) would be a very foolish move considering that the YPG are essentially a terrorist organization.. this same scenario happened with the Free Syrian Army (the Arabs who revolted against Assad), which the US funded and then later abandoned in 2016 (for the Russians to pick off).. we didn't see any outrage then.. it was not mainstream enough to trigger large-scale media coverage.. 2- Trump's decision did not incentivize Turkey to move in.. it was planned for over a year.. and Turkey had already conducted a similar campaign last Year in Afrin.. another YPG controlled territory.. we did not see any outrage back then. 3- Separatism is censored by almost all states on this earth.. if a separatist movement in Texas for example would arise calling for secession, it would automatically be combated by the Federal Government.. Spain is a good example on how states brutally combat separatism.. if the Catalan movement would start an armed revolt they would be met with even worse suppression tactics than we see today in Turkey.. 4- Turkey's campaign was not based on fear of a Kurdish state.. they have never been in conflict with Iraqi or Iranian Kurds.. Turkey's campaign was a response to multiple terrorist attacks on border towns that has left hundreds of deaths.. during the last 3-4 decades, Turkey has lost over 40'000 civilians to PKK and YPG terrorist bombings, and we (as in the US Government) have recognized that these are terrorist attacks.. 5- The death of SDF politicians was not conducted by Turkey, rather the National rebel forces, whom we funded before.. Turkey should be condemned however for maintaining their support to them.. what they did was unforgivable.. 6- The Rojava's military wings (YPG) have also been condemned internationally for violating multiple human rights.. these include: Bombing villages with Zero military value, Forced recruiting of Syrian Villagers, Forced Recruiting of Children (unprecedented numbers), Torturing forced recruits who desert the YPG, and also stealing homes and shops from Syrians and claiming them for the YPG.. These accusations have been made by the UN, Amnesty International and HRW.. 7- The YPG (Rojava's military wing) consist of a non-syrian majority, the group is an amalgam of kurds from Syria, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Armenia & some parts of the Balkans. 8- The Turkish assault has ended now following a Trilateral deal with the US and Russia.. and up until today, over 100'000 Syrian refugees have been resettled back into the safe zone under the supervision of the UN.. according to the UN Security Council, the Turkish assault has wielded minimal civilian casualties compared to almost every other military campaign conducted by NATO.. Turkey has already declared a "soft" victory, which they have put out temporarily until the safe zone is fully established.. 9- Once the 20km border is established Turkey is banned by the US & NATO from ever intervening in the affairs of Syrian-Based Kurdish groups.. this was part of the trilateral agreement.. *** Hopes this clears things out for you. If you need sources for any of these bits of information, let me know and i'll provide links.

You mean the same ISIS that had only gotten more powerful during Obama's 2 terms but somehow was easily crushed by US forces within days of Trump literally just letting the generals do what they needed to? Is it possible that the Kurds could hold ISIS off because ISIS was in reality incredibly pathetic?
Kira Slith ISIS was incredibly pathetic? Are you stupid? ISIS devastated most Middle Eastern armies in days and captured vast cities across Syria and Iraq. The Iraqi army collapsed, the Syrian army collapsed and this was whilst they were under 24/7 coalition bombings. Never in the Middle East has there been a powerful, drugged up fanatic fighting force as powerful as ISIS. The only reason why ISIS was finished by the time Trump came in was because of Obamas bombings + the hard work of the Kurds in Syria and Iraq

As a turk, I appreciate how you showed the past of turkey, however you did miss out a few details.
Many Turks don't like PKK not just because of Turks hating Kurds (a "small" group do) but because the PKK was known famously for killing Turkish and Kurdish civilians in its goal. The ends werent universally hated, but the means certainly were. Also communism is BIG no no in Turkey (see 1980 turkish coup) so thats 2 things turkey doesn't like mixed together.
Erdogan, being an authoritarian leader who did everything to stay in power (like shutting off powers in cities to stiffle political leaders speeches during the time right before the election), feared a free Kurdistan and attacked to make a safe zone, Many Turks, tired of thousands of refugees and PKK bombings and killings, just wanted to be over which is why many will support this.
Overall I do appreciate that you went through with this video, its unbiased compared to most takes on the conflict and didn't just scream "they did to armenia so they will do it to em kurds" (yes turks are aware of the genocide, just that many nationalists will REE about it not happening tho)

What are you saying Armenian genocide never happened?
The kurds are one of our best allies in the middle east. Most of our other allies hate the U.S.A., but they work with us to get benefits, the kurds don't hate the U.S., and have been close military allies since WWII.
They used to not hate the US you mean.
on behalf of turkish people, we wouldn't be hating if your government didn't tried to poison the first generation of our republic through numerous ways. and it would be fair to say we are not the only one hating usa government. lots of american people feels the same, precisely afro americans. after all we both are oppressed communities in your government's so called new world order.

"Libertarian

Why am I getting flashbacks to AHH and Emp's stream? Oh right.
Wolv022 libertarian/Socialist a contradiction of terms.
@@alicemoore2036 Something that is Libertarian is something which minimizes state interference in personal matters and maximizes personal autonomy and freedom. Socialism is, broadly, the destruction of private ownership of the means of production, such as factories, raw materials, and tools. In the case of libertarian socialism, this means minimal government control socially and politically, while also making the "means of production" publicly owned, or at least owned by the workers who use them to create the goods and services that make the "means of production" have any sort of value.
In short, it's marrying the anti-state philosophy of libertarian ideologies with the anti-bourgeoisie ideas of socialism.
You can have authoritarian, libertarian or democratic socialists.

I do feel sorry for the Kurds. But, why are we(the US) there guarding a border to prevent Turkey from invading? Shouldn't the UN be doing this? Similar to how the UN has troops in Cyprus. Also, hah, speaking of Cyprus, this reminds me of the entire reason Turkey invaded Cyprus, and how the US wanted Turkey to invade.
Because the UN is useless. I hate the US military, but it was for once, doing something actually good that wasn't invading third world countries.
America: World Police
We could have done something similar, maybe ask NATO members to place troops so we could leave, or take turns placing troops. Instead, the Kurds are on the demise for personal interests, truly a sad thing to witness

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already (over 4k comments already!), and you kind of alluded to it but then kind of didn't, but the PKK and the PYD (the Syrian party) had a major change in line in the 1990s, away from the old Marxist-Leninist-national liberation struggle with the goal of an independent nation-state, toward a more anarchist approach (Murray Bookchin was a huge influence), so that they *do not* call for an "independent Kurdistan" anymore, even though everyone still thinks they do.
The experiment in Rojava is, from everything I've heard from people who've been there, in addition to being based on equality of the sexes as you mentioned, also not based on any ethnic supremacy, or any other kind of hierarchy - the whole basis of their political program is the elimination of hierarchies. And they are not calling for territorial secession from Syria, just regional autonomy - just leave them alone to do their thing. With everything else Assad's having to deal with lately, that's got to be the best deal he's been offered by anyone for a long time.
"And they are not calling for territorial secession from Syria, just regional autonomy - just leave them alone to do their thing. With everything else Assad's having to deal with lately, that's got to be the best deal he's been offered by anyone for a long time.

-Nice that someone noticed that.
Glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. Those fighters in Rojava supporting the PYD and the PKK are not the same as they were when the PKK insurgency began in the 80s. Even more different for the PYD, since it was formed after this ideological shift had occurred towards that liberation socialist anarchism (aka, democratic confederalism). In that sense, the PYD (and their armed YPG-YPJ fighters) has even less of that authoritarian Marxist-Leninist baggage than the PKK.
Next time just say that they want extra democracy, direct democracy through neighborhood assemblies and cooperatives.
People are likely to embrace that explanation and look upon it favorably, keep it simple, that's how you get the lowest common denominator.
No one mentioned this but you're completely right. The Rojava have no aspirations for independence.
@@8jijjoo126 Thanks but there's a couple things not-right in what you said. 1, Rojava is the name of the region. 2, The Kurds in Rojava are not seeking a separate nation-state for themselves - but they *do* want independence in the sense of regional autonomy. Their program is about doing away with the nation-state altogether; their problem is the existing nation-states (among which their region was thoughtlessly apportioned after WWI) not letting them do that.
I've always been a bit skeptical of anarchist philosophy, but if that project makes practical sense anywhere, it's Kurdistan.
Watching this now with Afghanistan, have to say 2019 was a pretty normal year in comparison. Kurds also still have their land while turks are becoming less interested.

I've been following the Syrian War closely since it has begun. I've never heard of any reports of Kurds and Syrians fighting each other. By all accounts they support each other; as is to be exspected - they're kinda in the same boat here.
The dilemma is either you stand a moral stand with your good old pal the kurds against the second biggest military in NATO.
Or you sell them out and keep a much stronger ally in the region.
This is a hard decision and it baffles me to see people condemning trump just because they were rooting for the kurds for some years now like some soccer fans. I still haven't made up my mind thought
In realpolitik, Turkey is a WAY better ally then the Kurds. For that reason alone, screw the kurds. But going beyond that, I don't like Turkey either. I would like to bring them down to size, but America doesn't need to be a war monger anymore. Let other countries fight. It's always happened and will happen, unless we kill everyone there.
Do I need to remind you that human lives are a thing?
Perfectly Fine need I remind you that people die every day why should I as an American care about someone 7,000 miles away because of some lose moralistic out look on the quote sanctity of human life news flash humans have been killing each other in wars going back to Neolithic times so why should we intervene. I’m so tired of this post Holocaust view that the worlds problems is our problem BS it’s sad but everyone got a sob story if it doesn’t effect America and American lives it’s not our problem
That would be one thing, but this adminstration had convinced the kurds to dismantle their fortifications on the border as a first step to deesclate tensions.
The did so beliving that the US would act as a moderater. And bring some coexistance with Turkey.
The kurds made the first step to peace, and then Trump said, f$#k them.

The reason hwy people care is one we are human , we are all human and with the age of the internet people now see those on the other side of the globe as a fellow humans a step to us working together as a species. The other reason eventually issue over there could/will affect us we had the same thought in ww2 that an European war would never affect thing is if we didn't intervene we might of seen a soviet union that controlled all of mainland Europe and looking at the cold war that would of effected us because add to the soviets being stronger , we wouldn't of reawakened our military bringing it into the modern day and that also means no nukes this was prevented because we decided to care about a "sob story" across the ocean.

Turkey: *looks at armenia* But this is worse
What you didn’t notice on Cody’s map was the claims the Kurds have in Armenia :^) when do you stop carving the world up like a Turkey
@@Trusty_Stranger but Armenia has strong ties to Russia and Erdogan seems to be really chummy towards Putin now that he's done this
It is really funny that actually kurdish tribes helped the armenian genocide
not gonna side with either poles here.. but I think you need to look at the situation more closely.. you have missed many important context information that basically answers all of your questions.. i'll lay them out in a few bullet points:
1- Turkey called Trump to inform him that the vast majority of Turkish parliament (conservatives, liberals and centrists) has approved and is pushing for a full scale military campaign against all PKK affiliated groups that are within 20km of the Turkish border (and is expected to happen very soon).. in the call they stated that they will be careful not to get too close to American soldiers but cannot guarantee they won't.. The PKK is recognized by the US and EU as a terrorist organization (for decades).. and admittedly in congregational hearings, many defense secretaries and military officials testified that the YPG is a branch of the PKK and takes orders from them, and have been re-branded as the SDF to help the US fight ISIS, in exchange for their help they would be granted rule of all captured territories.. So Trump was advised to avoid this type of confrontation as it is meaningless for the US.. risking war with the 2nd largest army in NATO (threatening the future of NATO as a union) would be a very foolish move considering that the YPG are essentially a terrorist organization.. this same scenario happened with the Free Syrian Army (the Arabs who revolted against Assad), which the US funded and then later abandoned in 2016 (for the Russians to pick off).. we didn't see any outrage then.. it was not mainstream enough to trigger large-scale media coverage..
2- Trump's decision did not incentivize Turkey to move in.. it was planned for over a year.. and Turkey had already conducted a similar campaign last Year in Afrin.. another YPG controlled territory.. we did not see any outrage back then.
3- Separatism is censored by almost all states on this earth.. if a separatist movement in Texas for example would arise calling for secession, it would automatically be combated by the Federal Government.. Spain is a good example on how states brutally combat separatism.. if the Catalan movement would start an armed revolt they would be met with even worse suppression tactics than we see today in Turkey..
4- Turkey's campaign was not based on fear of a Kurdish state.. they have never been in conflict with Iraqi or Iranian Kurds.. Turkey's campaign was a response to multiple terrorist attacks on border towns that has left hundreds of deaths.. during the last 3-4 decades, Turkey has lost over 40'000 civilians to PKK and YPG terrorist bombings, and we (as in the US Government) have recognized that these are terrorist attacks..
5- The death of SDF politicians was not conducted by Turkey, rather the National rebel forces, whom we funded before.. Turkey should be condemned however for maintaining their support to them.. what they did was unforgivable..
6- The Rojava's military wings (YPG) have also been condemned internationally for violating multiple human rights.. these include: Bombing villages with Zero military value, Forced recruiting of Syrian Villagers, Forced Recruiting of Children (unprecedented numbers), Torturing forced recruits who desert the YPG, and also stealing homes and shops from Syrians and claiming them for the YPG.. These accusations have been made by the UN, Amnesty International and HRW..
7- The YPG (Rojava's military wing) consist of a non-syrian majority, the group is an amalgam of kurds from Syria, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Armenia & some parts of the Balkans.
8- The Turkish assault has ended now following a Trilateral deal with the US and Russia.. and up until today, over 100'000 Syrian refugees have been resettled back into the safe zone under the supervision of the UN.. according to the UN Security Council, the Turkish assault has wielded minimal civilian casualties compared to almost every other military campaign conducted by NATO.. Turkey has already declared a "soft" victory, which they have put out temporarily until the safe zone is fully established..
9- Once the 20km border is established Turkey is banned by the US & NATO from ever intervening in the affairs of Syrian-Based Kurdish groups.. this was part of the trilateral agreement..
