columbia reached the impeach
both in human rights violations and military in nineteen ninety nine out of this year's
time will begin next year
now the only unless we can stop that they will go up another
billion dollars or more
under clinton's columbia plan should way ungli
who was in the lead before columbia
that's interesting too
in italy for columbia was turkey
and military aid turkey tells you a story that helps explain why columbia's normally
turkey is the u_s_
ally and a strategic military alliance strategic out those so
spin getting
a lot of u_s_ military and trainings
since the end of the second world war
there are many more or less setting
until nineteen eighty four
in nineteen eighty four charter
uh... military training turkeys went way up in nineteen eighty four state high increase
in the nineteen nineties
it peaked in nineteen ninety seven
in nineteen ninety seven thirty doesn't work
military aid them in the entire period nineteen fifteen to nineteen eighty four
this has nothing to do with the cold war as nothing to the russian
stanford disappearing this time
what it had to do is is that in nineteen eighty four
turkish military launched a major counterinsurgency effort against the kurds
fifty million people are still in southeastern turkey
who live under extreme conditions of repression
just to give you an illustration is uh... training footnote
a few days ago
eight uh...
newspaper editors
were arrested
in started stanford university risen are facing charges several years in jail if they're convicted
now for the crime
of having uh...
uh... there's a turkey tradition of festival once a year
which in
produces written
and he your own c
and they sold it that way instead of selling any w r o c which is the way it would have
been stolen turkish outside of it
that's the time
that's it
medicine minuscule footnote but an indication of the kind of conditions under which they
live
till nineteen eighty four the turkish military launched a huge counterinsurgency campaign
u_s_ military chopped
the atrocities peaked under clinton
in the loop in the nineties as as a nineteen ninety-seven was the people here
the military aid went down in nineteen twenty eight informative took first place in nineteen
ninety nine
because the turkish camp military campaign had pretty much succeeded
at the cost of uh... three three million refugees just in the nineteen nineties
about thirty five hundred villages destroyed for comparison
and rendering
during the nato bombing
at five hundred villages were destroyed and kosevo
so seven times possible under nato bombing
tens of thousands of people killed every kind of torture monstrosity that you can think
of
but it kind of work
so three times urgency campaign
bombast
uh... u_s_ military aid with and training uh... was no longer needed this is high-tech
hate businesses
jet planes and hanks may prompt so on
and therefore uh... columbia could move in first place
why well because in colombia via where they were there and most of the population
lives under miserable conditions and very rich confidentially quite rich country more
than half under the poverty line
there's constant
uh... resistance uh... oppression massacre torture terror and then they ran a counter
and an insurgency and that hasn't been battalion
so therefore u_s_ military resisting arrest and is now in first place and going up
