Blood Price For The US Support To Turkey's PKK Operation: A Military Base Against Iran
From: Rasti

Editor's note: This was translated from Turkish by Cem Ertür from CASMII.

Having given no support to Turkey’s struggle against the PKK for a long time, the US supported the Turkish army’s recent bombing of the Qandil Mountain.

The reason behind this support is becoming clear now: An agreement made between the US, Turkey and the Federal Administration of South Kurdistan for the construction in South and North Kurdistan of two strategic US military bases targeting Iran.

According to a military specialist who trained Kurdish Special Security Forces in Salahaddin, a military base has already been established on the strategically important Korek Mountain in the Diyana (Soran) district of South Kurdistan. A specialist team consisting of seven US and Israeli staff members set up the connection of new satellite systems and powerful radar receptors and dealt with technical organisation.

The US dispatched the equipment for this base via Turkish territory. Entry to and exit from the Korek mountain area was banned before the launch of the construction work, with the exception of US and Israeli specialists and the special teams that support them. A US-trained 1,500-strong red beret Peshmerga force was deployed in the area surrounding the high-security base.

1. I wondered what we were getting out of selling out the Kurds
Apparently the race to Iran has been long in coming, and as unstoppable as they can make it.

I guess we just wait for the false flag attack. Do you think Bushco would nuke a city in Iraq and claim Iran was trying to hit Israel and missed?

3. As long as we have such
a tight relationship with the military thugs in Turkey we will always sell out the Kurds. We always have, why stop now?
