The Siege of Kut Al Amara

[Turkic755]

This may not seem cute to you but I want to remind it Britons as the revenge for my erased and forgotten history and my changed language and many more British atrocities through appointed British governors in "Turkiye" after Ottoman.

I learned about the Siege of Kut just a few years ago even though I have partipicated to history lessons for years from my childhood. I am still taking compulsory history classes at university and they still teach the same bogus Turkish history written by Britons.

I'm glad you raise this and look forward to you exploring the killing of the Armenians in the 1910s in a future thread

We're all massive fans of empire here and the revelation that military adventures sometimes go awry will no doubt shake many to the core. Revenge is sweet.

Mentioned in passing in Sword of Honour, as a house name (all named after British defeats) of a minor fictitious public school

Waugh calls the place Kut-al-Imara House, Southsand-on-Sea, which had been a prep school, with dormitories called the names of lost battles from the first World War. (Indeed, Al-Kut is in itself a reference to a disastrous First World War defeat for British forces in Iraq.)The fictional place was based on Kingsdown House, Kingsdown, near Deal and Walmer, a few miles from Dover. Waugh spent several weeks there with the Royal Marines in early 1940.

Also most interested to hear your opinions on the Kurdish question and Erdogan's economic and cultural policies.

 

[Turkic755]

I am not good at discussing. The mighty one is right, the rest is useless to talk. You just should pray that the mighty be righteous.

You're quite good at posting crap though. Or so I am informed by the mighty one.

Now I am putting you both in my ignore list. I said I am not good at it. I dont want to discuss.

You do realise discussion boards that tend to involve discussing?

My understanding of discuss isnt the same as theirs. They describe "discuss" as the battle of their egos. I describe it as "information share". They are not here for info share, they are here to satisfy their ego.

You never discuss anything. All you ever do is display your racist, intolerant prejudices.

What Jim Bowan?

 

[JimW]

What could be more informative than a history discussion that sticks to the official Turkish state narrative? Apart from absolutely anything, I mean.

What is this nationalist shite?

Can the nationalist twat fuck off now?

Can you share some information on the subject of what death is? Is there a Waitrose in Kut and have you ever tried to get a bike in there?

 

[Turkic755]

I dont know, I think sleep is a kind of death. We die every night and by being awakened we are given a new opportunity to be more careful in life.

I see Nureddin Pasha had a storied subsequent career, first the genocide of the Pontic Greeks then we have Falih Rıfkı reporting on his actions in Smyrna/Izmir, subsequent to throwing the bishop out to be lynched by a mob:

Why were we burning down İzmir? Were we afraid that if waterfront konaks, hotels and taverns stayed in place, we would never be able to get rid of the minorities? When the Armenians were being deported in the First World War, we had burned down all the habitable districts and neighbourhoods in Anatolian towns and cities with this very same fear. This does not solely derive from an urge for destruction. There is also some feeling of inferiority in it. It was as if anywhere that resembled Europe was destined to remain Christian and foreign and to be denied to us. If there were another war and we were defeated, would it be sufficient guarantee of preserving the Turkishness of the city if we had left Izmir as a devastated expanse of vacant lots? Were it not for Nureddin Pasha, whom I know to be a dyed-in-the-wool fanatic and a rabble-rouser, I do not think this tragedy would have gone to the bitter end. He has doubtless been gaining added strength from the unforgiving vengeful feelings of the soldiers and officers who have seen the debris and the weeping and agonized population of the Turkish towns which the Greeks have burned to ashes all the way from Afyon.

Nureddin Pasha

Nureddin Pasha (Turkish language: Nurettin Paşa, Nureddin İbrahim Paşa or Nureddin İbrahim Konyar), often called Bearded Nureddin (Turkish language: Sakallı Nurettin) (1873–1932), was a Turkish military officer, who served in the Ottoman Empire during World War I and in the Turkish army during...

You don't work in medicine then? Or are you really a stoned 13 year old, it's about the right level of insight for that?

My dad and grandparents brought me up to think Rauf Denktash was a brilliant leader and all round wonderful guy (my Irish grandfather was best mates with him). What do you think about him if anything?

This is a discussion board, you plank, not Facebook.

You won't get any better at it with an attitude like that, haven't you heard of self-fulfilling prophecies?
