In the early morning of November 23, the Turkish army, which had no martial spirit to speak of, was in the spirit of "first strike is strong, then cool and cool" undeclared war on northern Syria. A rocket shot hit a Kurdish armed camp in Syria like a meteor cutting through the sky.
Turkey, which is above the Erkh attribute, not only directly attacked the Syrian Kurdish armed camp in the US special forces base, but also bombarded the Russian-backed Syrian camp. It is said that any country in the world that offends the P5 will not end well, and Turkey first slapped the United States in the face, and then kicked Russia in the stomach, who gave him the ambition leopard guts?
The fundamental reason is that the United States and Russia have touched Turkey's anti-scale at the same time - Kurdish armed forces, who support them is equivalent to digging Turkey's ancestral grave, knife Turkey's own father, whether you are the "P5" or "P15", the Turks have to fight with you to see "black and white impermanence".
Turkey was able to jump so angrily because on November 21, the Syrian Kurdish armed Popular Protection Units fired at least 10 rockets at the Turkish province of Gaziantep, killing three and injuring six.
In this way, Turkey's shelling of Kurdish forces seems to be on the side of justice. In order to maintain world peace and oppose terrorism, Kurdish armed forces should be "condemned by everyone." But just looking at the present without looking back at the past and making a conclusion, in the final analysis, is a rogue behavior, when everyone understands the bitter transformation process of the Kurds, they may understand the helplessness of the Kurds to some extent - they just wanted to be a Shiba Inu who looked after the nursing home at first, but they were forced into mad dogs by Turkey.
At the end of June this year, because Russia and Ukraine started fighting without saying a word, Finland and Sweden next to them trembled with fear, and they urgently applied to join NATO, and in front of them was NATO member countries with "veto power" - Turkey.
Who would have thought that Finland and Sweden were most injured not by "Russian Bens" because they were afraid of Russia's accession to NATO, but by the Kurds who could not fight with these countries. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that to join NATO, Finland and Sweden must recognize the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which they support, as a "terrorist organization."
The Kurds who felt that they were sold immediately said that since you Turkey said that we were a "terrorist organization", you really wanted to "terrorize" to you, accompanied by the whistling of rockets, so that Turkey deeply experienced the taste of "one shot into the soul".
Historically, the Kurds are also one of the ancient peoples, together with the Arabs, Persians, Turks, and known as the four major peoples of the Middle East. The Kurds now number more than 30 million, living mainly in the "Kurdistan" region. But the embarrassment is that Kurdistan, to which the Kurds refer to, is now just a cultural-geographical concept.
The Kurds now want to follow Israel's example and rebuild "Kurdistan" in the Middle East. They believe that "Kurdistan" stretches from Bakhtaran in Iran in the east, Kirkuk in Iraq in the south, Yerevan in Armenia in the north, the upper Euphrates River in Turkey, and Aleppo in Syria in the west.
That is to say, the Kurds also want to split the land in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Armenia, such a result can be imagined, the above countries have said to the Kurds: bye, play!
The current fiery and crazy character of the Kurds is directly related to the fact that they have been betrayed by powerful external forces again and again in history, especially Turkey, which has driven the entire Kurds crazy alive.
The ancestors of the Kurds come from the Medes who lived on the Iranian plateau in the 10th century, and the Medes faced a powerful Assyrian Empire in the Mesopotamian plateau. The policy of the Assyrian Empire to rule other minorities was simple - those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish.
Watching one minority after another fall under the butcher knife of the Assyrian Empire, the Medes suddenly felt legs and feet cramping and knees were soft, and a gorgeous slippery kneel rushed to the feet of the Assyrian Empire to worship the eldest brother. Subsequently, the Medes, who "ate the master's meal and must be faithful to the dogs", were very honest and always rushed to the forefront in the wars of the Assyrian Empire to expand the territory.
However, the Medes regarded themselves as "dogs", but the Assyrians used him as an "egg", made the Medes shed their last drop of blood in the war, and asked the Medes to peel off a layer of skin in taxes. Later, led by a chief named Dioses, the Medes waged a struggle against the Assyrian Empire.
Reluctantly, the Assyrians made concessions and allowed the Medes to establish a "Median Kingdom" with a high degree of autonomy. At this time, strange things happened, the Medes did not have any concept of "high autonomy", and still chose to continue to work for the Assyrian Empire, and the Medes said that they just wanted to improve their treatment and did not think of flying solo from the organization. Instead, the Assyrian Empire came with a "black question mark face" meme. In this way, the Assyrian Empire and the Medes were not ashamed to fight for nearly a century.
In 626 BC, due to corruption within the Assyrian Empire, the province of Babylonia began to rise up against the Assyrian Empire, which became known as the Neo-Babylonian kingdom in history. In the rebellious crowd, the Assyrians were surprised to find the familiar figure of the Medes, who was still the same, as always, rushed to the front of the attacking team...
With the rise of the Assyrian Empire, the Medes chief Chiaxares also married the granddaughter of Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Neo-Babylon, and with the approval of the Neo-Babylonian kingdom, the Medes also declared their own kingdom. The problem is that the Medes, who had been slaves all their lives, suddenly turned over and sang serfs, and did not have time to keep up in temperament and ability, only vaguely remembering the general policy of the old Assyrian leader "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die".
Under the clumsy rule and bloody exploitation of the Medes leader, the Medes people began a surging rebellion. In the process of suppressing these miscreants, a tribe called Persia in the Medes was very active and came into the eyes of the leadership. But what the Medes high-level never expected was that it was the Persian tribes that they personally supported, and finally pulled out the oxygen tube of the Medes country and established the "Persian Empire".
Because the Medes and Persia are of the same origin, most of the Medes effortlessly converted into Persian identities, and those Medes nobles who "went from simple to complex" thought that the Persian tribe was a white-eyed wolf, and they couldn't let go of their bodies, and they hid in the mountains to resist Persia, and these Medes are the ancestors of the current Kurds. The Persians, with the military idea of "poor Komo chasing", only closely monitored the widows and children of these previous dynasties, and the area where these people were located was called Kurdistan by later generations.
In the days that followed, the mighty Persian Empire collapsed, and Kurdistan welcomed Arab, Turkic, Mongol, Armenian and Byzantine rulers, and the Kurds, like their ancestors, the Medes, actively served as eagle dogs and minions of power politics. It is worth mentioning that during the reign of the Arab Empire, the Kurds ushered in a change of thinking, and the emerging Islam soon replaced their original Zoroastrianism.
To say that in the process of working for the Kurds in the successive bosses, the most "favorable" for them was the Ottoman Turkish Empire established by the Turks. The Ottoman Empire not only enlisted the powerful within the Kurds, but also offered generous remuneration to attract the Kurds to join the imperial standing army and "add bricks" to the imperial cause.
It is known that "who is iron to the Kurds, and who the Kurds are bleeding heavily", in 1453, the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II launched the siege of Constantinople to destroy the Eastern Roman Empire. In an unusually fierce battle, the Kurdish cavalry unit threw its head and shed blood, becoming the first Austrian army to enter Constantinople.
Later, in the later stages of the empire, Arab countries that were also Muslim brothers rose up, and the Kurds still clinging to the falling Ottoman Turkish Empire. Later, in the mad massacre of Armenians before the death of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, it was still the Kurds who rushed to the forefront for the Ottoman Empire.
With the end of World War I, the Ottoman Turkish Empire signed the Treaty of Sefer with the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire gave up most of present-day Syria and Central Asia, and even the Kurds established Kurdish. Faced with the opportunity to establish an independent state, the Kurds and their ancestors, the Medes, reacted with the same astonishing coldness.
The Kurds have always believed that it doesn't matter if they don't build a state, and it doesn't affect their status as a "working emperor" in the slightest, but this time they really miscalculated. With the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne, Kurdistan was divided into four parts, divided between Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq.
On October 29, 1923, the Republic of Turkey was officially established, and at the same time, the Ottoman Empire was successfully swept into the dustbin of history. The Kemal government of the Turkish state believed that the collapse of the Ottoman Empire was directly related to the ethnic pluralism he implemented, and the new Turkish state had only one nation, the Turkish nation, and then regarded itself as a Kurdish to step on the sewing machine.
At this time, the Kurds stopped doing it, and everyone said "divided my land, deprived me of my mother tongue, and finally made me you"? This also completely awakened the "sense of independence" that has never been shown in the Kurds, but they have not been sure of the opportunity given to the Kurds before, and now Turkey says that it is "expired and invalidated".
As a result, the Kurdish rebellion surged like a tidal wave, and in 1937 about 100,000 people participated in the rebellion. In this situation, the means of the Turks are also simple and rude, one word "kill". At the same time, a more repressive "assimilation policy" was introduced against the Kurds.
In this context, the PKK came into being in 1978. The purpose remains the same as before, to organize the ethnic groups in the Kurdistan region, which are divided between Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq, to establish their own kingdom. But in the second year of its existence, Turkey banned the PKK, and in order to completely eliminate this party, Turkey even entered Iraq without hesitation to carry out military strikes.
It stands to reason that the Kurdish armed forces will not "support" for too long under the brutal blows of Turkey, but it is precisely because of the special geographical location of the Middle East that it has become the main battlefield of major powers, and with the support of the Soviet Union and Russia, the Kurdish armed forces were once close to splitting the earth and establishing a state, but they were in vain under the intervention of the United States. The funny thing is that after Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Americans supported the Kurdish regime under the guise of "protecting the Kurds".
Under the intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union and later the United States and Russia, Turkey, which is forced to eliminate the Kurdish armed forces, has been in a situation of "not drying and erasing" the armed forces, and now taking advantage of the sweat of the United States and Russia in Ukraine, Turkey has finally made up its mind to fight the Kurdish armed forces, which also has the scene mentioned at the beginning. It's just that we need to continue to see how the United States and Russia will react in the later stage, but it is certain that they cannot give up their influence in the region, after all, it is rich here.
There are many omissions, please correct them.
