I’m for Kurds having their own nation.

They have long lived in Semi-autonomous zone in all 4 countries.

Assad will not want that.

Russia? I think they have some sympathy toward the Kurds. But they have been loyal to Syria.

Assad is not a good guy. (I still remember Lebanon) But he was not as brutal as Saddam. He should appreciate Kurds for saving the Northern portion of Syria from Turkish takeover, but he probably won’t.

I’m not sure how Trump views this.

And of course Turkey is most interested in Syria as an excuse to kill Kurds.

Agreed, the Kurds need their own nation. They could be a great stabilizing force for the mideast and Islam.

Turkey would exterminate the Kurds just like they did the Armenians. Iran would treat them no better. Shia Iraq hates them.

They could be a great ally.

I dearly hope our incursion into Syria has that endgame and maybe will unite Syrian Kurds and Iraqi Kurds.
