    Kurdish villagers… interesting choice. The people that Saddam Hussein dropped chemical weapons on. Those warplanes helped free them from Hussein’s oppression. That lasted until ISIS took over. Then those waprlanes helped the Kurds in fighting off ISIS.

    I think the comic is trying to make a point but completely failing at it because the writer doesn’t know anything about history… even recent history.

      Uh… the most recent history involves Turkey using US-sold jets to bomb Kurds in northern Syria.

        Yeah Trump fucked them over, because he’s a dishonourable coward. Good thing he’ll never be President again, right?

        Hey now.

        It’s just old fashioned artillery they drop on the volunteer civilian aid workers in Kurdish Syria.

        Maybe I’ll live to get to say Rojava one day instead.
