Editorial: The US' buddy Turkey

 The US government refuses to stand up to Turkey.  They refuse to call it out.  For years, for example, the Turkish government has been bombing northern Iraq and killing civilians.  It's sent ground troops into Iraq.  And, yet, the US government refuses to call out Turkey.


Why is that?


It's worth noting this Tweet from Hassan Sajwani:


Turkey is fighting / in conflict with: Iraq

Again, why is the US so reluctant to call Turkey out?
