Suffer The Little Children

Remember that famous photo from the Vietnam War, of a young Vietnamese girl running down a dirt road toward the camera, naked and screaming? She was naked and screaming because she had been hit by the napalm we had dropped on her village. The napalm was literally burning her flesh off her bones. Remember how you felt when you saw that photo, and knew that your fellow Americans had done this?

Well, get ready to feel that sickness in the pit of your stomach and the depths of your soul, AGAIN. The Turks, our NATO allies, are using napalm and white phosphorus (you vets know this one as "Willie Pete." It burns on contact with human flesh, and continues to burn even submerged.), these horrible, destructive chemicals, on the Kurds. On Kurdish villages, filled with refugee Kurdish families and children.

Turkey, our NATO ally, is engaging in a program of ethnic cleansing, the same thing that happened in Rwanda, the same thing that we bombed the shit out of Bosnia to stop. The Turks want the land bordering their country, and they hate the Kurds.

The Kurds are just about the only ethnic group to come out of World War I, and the postwar Balflour agreements, to not get a homeland. When some fatassed Brit (Balflour) sat down before a map of the Middle East with a blue pen, the Kurds were dealt out of the land grab by the colonial powers. They probably didn't kiss enough ass, the same as today, and now there's a genocide underway, an obscenity that we caused.

Donald Trump directly caused this when he gave the Turks the green light to invade Kurdish-held territory in northern Syria. I'm not responsible for Erdogan, Turkey's president, but I, and you, and you and you, *are* responsible for Donald Trump. And for little children having the flesh burned off their bones. November 2020 is too far away. This greedy, stupid, traitorous, oozing chancre has to GO, as fast as possible, by any means necessary. He has to GO.
