The Kurds in every region are our friends, or at least not our enemies and are HATED by our enemies: Iran and Syria!
Why is Syria “our enemy”?
Go back to 2002 and you will find that the Kurds were on the road to being instrumental against Saddam and Iraq. This was until Turkey threatened to disallow “coalition troops” usage of air space and its bases, if the Kurds were armed and part of it. I remember thinking, WTH is GW thinking.
Don’t forget that the Kurds stood fast against ISIS when the Iraqis cut and ran from their convoy of jag-offs packed in new Toyota pick up trucks in the summer of 2014.
