Shit, meet fan

When I was in Turkey my sister witnessed the PKK staging a protest in Izmir. It never made the news when we were there. Now Kurds are "allowed" to speak their language in Turkey, but it was in the news this morning that Turkish forces are crossing into Iraq and killing off the Kurds there.
an interesting article from January
the npr article
at least some countries are recognizing what they are doing abroad. We seem to be in denial about our activities.

I bet my nice new computer screen that the serbs will start the shooting and that it will lead to WW3 and act as a catalyst for WW4. Notice how history is repeating itself? Check how the first WW started and you might see the resemblances. Plus with today's weaponry and dumbass politicians, it's not a question of shit hitting the fan: It's a question of nuke hitting where.
Nodaisho:
Wasn't that (nuke hitting the fan) what we worried about all through the cold war? And yet, despite multiple shooting wars, no nukes were used. As long as the whole mutually-assured-destruction thing is still around, I won't be too worried.
Patrick:
Russia showed a stunning display of restraint, cool, and calm when they straight up were just like "We are going to nuke Ukraine if you build missile defense bases there, fuck you NATO."

The band Franz Ferdinand started WWI. Or something. Funny how a 90 years later they are still fighting about the same things. I'm starting to miss Tito all over. /kidding
