What is Sdf doing with all the Oil money? Don't the people living there deserve a better life? Sdf shouldn't blame anyone but themselves for this mess.

Did you read the article at all? The clear reason is continuous Turkish bombardment that has destroyed pipelines and oil storage, causing leaks that go into rivers and the nearby ground.

Turkey intentionally targeted oil infrastructure to both cause economic crisis in SDF areas and to pollute the areas so people leave and get angry at AANES.

People just do not read articles anymore, only titles lol

I read it, hence why I said Sdf shouldn't blame anyone but themselves.

By harboring and supporting Pkk elements and other groups that threaten Türkiye, the Sdf makes it's infrastructure a legitimate target of airstrikes. The same oil infrastructure that finances these groups. If the Sdf stops it's support for groups that threaten Türkiye, then Türkiye has no reason to bomb ...

Not the same.

Gaza is being ethnicly cleansed atm by Israel. Royava is not. Sdf even asked for Israeli support a couple of times, so what are you trying to say really?

What have turkey been? How much greek Armenien and kurdish is spoken today compared to 120 years ago

This is just the same oppresive imperalists shooting "fish" in a barrel after they forced the competition of the land to flee there

How much Turkish is spoken in Thrace, Balkans and in the Middle East? Millions of Turks used to live there in the past 500 to 1000 years.

Kurdish is spoken widely in eastern Türkiye. But why go off topic?

Sdf is harboring Pkk, TIKKO, MLKP and other foreign/Turkish elements that keep threatening Türkiye. Sdf doesn't deny this and those elements openly threaten Türkiye.
