    Turkey is entering Northern Iraq to launch offensives on the PKK killing their members

    I agree the situation is not comparable to Ukraine, but Turkey’s war on the Kurdish people (among other peoples they genocided) is nothing new, and in the past years the Turkish military has attacked or invaded sovereign territories in Rojava (Syria) as well and that was without support from any local administration. Likewise, the turkish military has invaded the colonized regions of “turkish” Kurdistan often replacing the local government with military official. It was justified in the fight against “terrorism”.

    I downvoted, not because you’re wrong in what you say, but in what you don’t say: saying this has nothing to do with a colonial aggression is short-sighted.
