Good for the Kurds, but this reads like another “yay, they can fight the terrorists for us and we can just sit back now” screed.

There is no “sitting back” when it comes to the Kurds. They are in a fierce struggle not only to throw out the ISIS army that has invaded their homeland, they are also determined to carve a nation of Kurdistan out of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran, all of which may have different ideas of what constitutes a “territory”. The Kurds may be fighting on many fronts at once, and without a strong external assist provided by some benefactor, could end up crushed once again into brutal subjugation under divided national interests.

Kurdistan is at least as important as the Ukraine.
