Comments by "Ben B." (@benb.9235) on "Turkey in the EU? | A Kurdish State? | A Central Asian EU? | January 2025 Qu0026A" video.
In Germany are more than 3 million Turks & more than 1 million Kurds living. Let us talk about separation there. It seems to be more realistic in a so called democratic western state. Maybe together with German Bavaria & German Saxonia, also not happy with the rest of Germans in Germany. Should Ankara back them?

It is called North Syria, or North Mesopotania, you may call it also part of Levante! So called "Rojava" is just a new brand of the Marketing department, created some years ago instead "West Kurdistan", which is used up/ worn and local other groups got upset. With (new) kurdish Names they try to let the region look more kurdish.

I have never seen the EU door really open. Türkiye has not turned away, it is pushed away.

@eren3390 Stucked in your nationalism/racism, you did not understand the point. The point is, when they will claim and how Germany will react? Now, it is your turn.

@eren3390 When in a general point of view, you underline to differ Turks & Kurds in ethic groups (to claim better or more)...

@s871-c1q Of course it is! It is a giant fault of EU to enforce their double standards. East Europe was completly not ready, some are still not, while others are turning back the time. And everybody educated knows it. It is just too shameful and too undemocratic to speak it out.
2
That is not true. Let me clear you up: In Africa & Asia are a lot of bigger "nations" without a state than Kurds! Only in India, you will find a handfull. A brit- Prof. , who does not know his brit. Colonization/Commonwealth history?

Selfblaming? 😁

@ 2x yes. Read my other comments, then you will see. But do not waste time, my last 2 comments deleted already (too much Israel?).😁

@AraKarim-t6s Yes, this is, what I mean. It is not a historical name like the others well known. When did you as a Kurd hear it the 1st time? I heard it 1. just 10 or 12 years ago. Never before.
2
@calebbearup4282 Never heard about a name selection. "The people" all asked or only some "special" guys?
2
By the way: Arabs call it North Arabia, Persians West Persia, Armenians South Armenia, Assyrians name it onlyAssyria and for Turks it ist just South Anatolia.

@calebbearup4282 Did you speak also with others than nationalist Kurds?
2
Yes, it returns land when they think they do not need it or do not see a return of investments anymore.

@ Answer is already written. Read again.

@soundkode Not strategic enough to take unpayable costs in blood & $. US was even not able to control middle age Afganistan, had to run away after 20 years. It is 10 times more difficult to keep in long term than to overtake. A 3 y.o. dog would understand. You not?

@eren3390 Racist guys never name themselves racist, they find reasons to think how they think.

@eren3390 Me, the anti-racist?? Haha!! How? Because you did not find a smart answer? Well, you show, thinking is too difficult for you. Give it up, listen & learn.

Where do you see support for Palestine?? Can you give examples how it looks like? I only see sad understanding. Real support I see only for Israel by western world.
1
Criminal Kurds get 1000 times more support than all others together. Where they have got since decades the billions for their terrorism activities and the weapons, tanks and rockets included, more & better than a lot of national armies? About these weapons the poor Palestinians can only dream.
1
Another giant difference: Israel takes year by year a little bit more land of Arabs with violence away. In South Anatolia nobody wants to take land from others away, especially not with violence. Only the Kurds plan and do. Iran/Irak/Syria/Turkiye react only.

Is it Bruessels, London or Key Largo? Does anybody know the adress, where my family may send the application for financial aid and military support? They also do not want to live with theirs neighbors together anymore, they also need to be backed to drive out these others. Really! They need urgently help!

They are 2 nations in Eurasia, which could become angels on planet, nevertheless they would not get an invitation by EU lead by West Europeans. I believe more in Afghanistan. The picture of East europeans, and in case of Turkiye, also of South Europeans, is different.

Yes, it does. Freedom and high walls & restrictions do not match. You cannot eat only the cherries on the cake, if you want to name yourself democratic. You must decide.

@JamesKerLindsay I think, well educated or much travelled people know that a) Turks are proud, b) they are simply to be provocated and c) they tend to opposite reactions, when they see additional stones put on their way and do not feel welcome like others. Support by "partners" looks usually diiferent. When Angela Merkel talked suddenly about "partnerhip with privileges without membership" after negoitations just started already, it was clear, that some powerful western EU members do not really want to see Turkiye in EU and there was a plan to avoid it. To take only South Cyprus in EU after breaking EU rules and promisses by EU and the reunion rejection by Greeks, was already part A of the plan to keep Turkiye out. Really everybody was knowing, that Cyprus will make it unpossible to join for Turkiye. What a suprise that it happened how it was expected!

@s871-c1q U can barely think & U R asking me?

Absolutely right. Without oil fields, the ambitions decrease rapidly. Without, it takes decades, even centuries of hard work to achieve prosperity. Too much! They want it faster and with less work by robbing with weapons, how all lazy uneducated criminals dream & act. It is just a racist Mafia gang.

@AnqeLo99 If you make enough money (how its better possible in Irak than Syria) you can buy your water. Without oil, you`ve only water to drink, but nothing to eat, because even farmers need money.
1
Nationalist and racist Kurds who want to live only with other Kurds together, can move to N.Irak. There is already a kurdish republic. After they lost the robbed oil fields again, nobody wants to move/settle/live there. Why not? Now a 2. try in a 2. nation? What comes next??

Trump is focused on Taiwan, Israel, Iran. All other conflicts are peanuts for him, whrere Europeans may care.
