Does Turkey tell Iraq beforehand before they do these missions?

Do they need to. I thought that the Americans had set the precedent in Pakistan.

Al qaeda is a terrorist organization. We killed their leader whom Pakistan had no business harboring. Kurds are not terrorists. They are in their ancestral territory. This is nothing like Bin Laden. Take your bullshit elsewhere.

It’s a question around sovereignty. No need to get so abusive.

No it’s not a question of sovereignty. It’s cheap whataboutism. Don’t backtrack now. There is no question that is a violation of sovereignty to conduct a strike inside someone else’s borders. The issue is whether or not that violation is justified. In the case of going after the most wanted man on the planet, whose presence Pakistan has no good excuse for not knowing, that’s justified. In the case of a displaced ethnic group whose fighting to not be genocided, and who’s only crime is being near the Turkish border, that is NOT justified.

The principle being discussed was sovereignty. The reason is irrelevant.

Reading comments defending bombings on innocent turkish people and protesting the bombing on a terrorist group is out of this world.

Nonsense. Your trying to shoehorn your sympathy into a generic question.
CheesecakeMedium8500 t1_ix4i1ok wrote
What is the question? Was their sovereignty violated in both cases? Who’s asking that question? Who is of the mind that nobody’s sovereignty was violated? Nobody. That’s why it’s obvious that your only goal is cheap whataboutism.

It was a rhetorical question with a statement. You tried to shoehorn an argument based on your sympathies. It’s irrelevant. Stop getting so hostile about it.

Wow this guy claimed every single turk a terrorist

A rhetorical question meant to make what point? To attempt it make the Us look hypocritical for criticizing turkey here.

Uno reverse card. You of all people claim all Kurds who don't support your regime are terrorists. And you are mostly bombing civilians, not militias. As long as you support this, their blood is on your hands.

That is not a valid criticism or rounds to dismiss his argument. You are avoiding his distinction because it destroys your argument.

No we claim terrorist who murder children, teachers, civillians, who suicide bomb cities also kidnap children for their “freedom”
In the other hand YPG is known to hide and blend also disguise themselves in civillian clothing with civillians which is a warcrime so its not Turkey’s fault that civillians died its YPGs fault

It’s a very simple question you can’t answer. A rhetorical question meant to make what point? To attempt it make the Us look hypocritical for criticizing turkey here.

That the US had set a precedent.
CheesecakeMedium8500 t1_ix5kmlk wrote
…Which is what my point was all about. Just because both are instances of invading sovereign territory doesn’t mean they’re comparable at all.

You kill children. Plain and simple. You have no shame.

The strikes had targeted Qandil, Asos and Hakurk in Iraq and Kobani, Tal Rifat, Cizire and Derik in northern Syria, it said, adding that "so-called directors of the terrorist organisation were among those neutralised".
