“My Kurd friends told me today, it’s over.”
What is over?
That the Kurds were betrayed by US.
That (probably State Dept.) classified YPG terrorists.
They have been trying to tell me that for a couple of days.
Had to do with reports related to state department document.
I have link and passage, but it did not read like that to me.
I’ll have to search for the link.
The document was a CIA document, but classification came from State Department from what I read.
Here is the link:
