All of this was so predictable. This is what happens when the idiot public
puts morons in positions of power.

The Turks don't "fear 'liberated'" Kurds.

They correctly fear a new Kurdistan being used as a base for Kurdish
terrorism within the territory of the Turkish republic. That is already
happening in the relative no-man's land of northern Iraq.

The Turks put Syria on notice when it was not controlling Kurdish
separatist/terrorist cross-border raids along their common border because
relations were slightly strained. The Syrians then started enforcing the
border and things have been acceptable.

If the Kurds believe they are going to cut a huge side out of Turkey in
order to annex that to a new and larger Kurdistan, you would be better to
put your betting money on the possibility that Mexico will take California,
Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Texas and Colorado by force from the
United States and annex them to Mexico. The day that happens is the day I
believe that the Turks will follow by rolling over and showing their soft
underbelly to the Kurds and say, "here, take it."

None that I'm aware of. No doubt a holdover from the
old "tribal" days where there were sharp differences
between sub-ethnic groups and they jealously guarded
hard-won territories. The Ottomans and euros may have
drawn a lot of arbitrary lines across those deserts
over the last century but that did not change how
the individual groups FELT, how they thought of
themselves.

Because neither " *" nor "* " are word boundaries.
