If the Turks slaughter the Kurds, we will have given them the means to do so and also helped pay for it.
But Turkey has an APPALLING human rights record, denying its people such basic political rights as freedom of expression and freedom from torture.

sam ba bam - it should be obvious (even to you) that those nukes always remained in US control

The US is the world's largest arms dealer....
Funny that we claim to promote peace and democracy while spreading the seeds of death and destruction.

sam-ba-bam....those nukes were removed from Turkey. This deal was made with USSR in order to alleviate tensions caused by Cuban Missile Crisis.
Castro WANTED to nuke the United States.
Castro made Nikita Kruschev nervous with his eagerness to launch first strike against United States.

Sounds like a scene from a movie. Oh no it already happened 20 years ago when Bush Sr and Regan gave weapons to Iraq then they were used against our troops. Screw the turks make them buy their own weapons.

I'm no fan of the Turkish regime. But if the Kurds are gooing to attack people in Turkey, they have every right to retaliate.

We are supporting our allies. It's their right and decision to use their weapons however they wish.
Does the appalling human rights record of Syria, Iran, and pre-Saddam Iraq bother you?
If I sell a knife set at my yard sale and the person who bought them slaughters a family with said knives, do I bear responsibility for the deaths? Certainly not.

JFK gave them nuclear missiles. They were aimed at the Soviets.
