https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1541850539071250433its kinda weird that finland/sweden were ever supporting YPG-PKK so closely anyway. im not fully on Turkeys side for this since their views for why theyre agaisnt YPG-PKK are less ethical/idealized and more explicitly geopolitical in state-building, but i do somewhat agree that the northern european support for YPG-PKK is bizarrely out of place

beyond the ethnic kurd tensions they basically just dont like YPG-PKK because they interfere with their statebuilding ambitions in MENA not too far off from the US's statebuilding ambitions in central asia. if it was up to Turkey they'd treat Syria, Libya, etc. like the US did w/ the prior govt in afghanistan. in fact turkey is still willing to take the US's place there in afghanistan

Because Self determination was never an actual tenet behind NATO. It’s entirely pragmatic and strategic

The point of NATO preaching self determination is so people can support their egregious actions being committed in their name
thinking NATO leaders even give a f*** let alone do anything effectively - Jun 29, 2022Vega

NBC to air prime-time special for Ukraine on Sunday
NBC says it’s airing a star-studded, prime-time special to raise money for Ukraine with the aim of “spreading awareness through the power of entertainment.”
The hourlong benefit, “Ukraine: Answering the Call,” will air on Sunday at 7 p.m., the network announced Monday.
The special will include appearances by celebrity chef José Andrés and musicians and actors, including Kristen Bell, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Julianne Moore, Rosie Perez, Jon Batiste, Brandi Carlile, Brian Cox, Vera Farmiga, Jeff Daniels, Lena Headey and Simu Liu, NBC said.
A group of Broadway performers will also come together to sing “What the World Needs Now is Love.”
Zelensky will address Americans during the special and audiences will also hear remarks from Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian Head of the Presidential Administration. NBC News will share reports on the stories of those who are impacted by the crisis.

Those two statements aren’t mutually exclusive
