Turkey's Erdogan causes the shooting
of stray dogs, and
unlike the old rhyme about curds and whey
Turkey's Erdogan is again bombing Kurds away.
Footnote;
The picture is of Alan Kurdi, a refugee in the last
Erdogan bombing of Kurds. Alan drowned. His
body was washed ashore. The picture below is of
Alan Kurdi, born Alan Shenu.

Absolutely heart-wrenching.
Absolutely heart-wrenching. Some years back there was an attempted coup and a sliver of hope, but the far right regime, of course, crushed it. Turkey is now a cautionary example of what can happen when the far right takes hold of a country and dismantles democracy, quite easily, in fact. Erdogan was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Trump on his 2016 victory, knowing, no doubt, that he would be a gift to depots everywhere.
This is what it has come to. An extremely important commentary. Thank you for opening our hearts and minds.
