    So i know the “san” ending is short for “sanayii” but “roket-san” is still too funny a name for an imperialist weapons manufacturer

        The PKK’s cause was just and the ongoing oppression of the kurdish people should be opposed. If you knew what was going on there you would know the PKK disbanded.

            40 years they waged a war on NATO armed turkey. If it was only a matter of military strength they would have folded looong ago. The alliances shifted in the region with syria now ruled by a nato-installed ISIL terrorist as well as internal politics in turkey making the kurdish vote necessary for Erdogan to remain in power. For the PKKs many flaws their fight with turkey is not one of them.

            Edit: just realised you support the occupation regime of west palestine and their ongoing genocide. Settler freak
