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.
Correct, the Kurds do not sit back, and that is not a cue for us to sit back. On the same token, it is not a cue to continue to fight in the way liberals want to fight.
The Kurds fight their own battles and are impressive at proving they could handle autonomy. The Ukranians, not so much.
