Turkey is a lost cause. We have a disgusting history of abandoning indigenous allies and leaving them to their own devices. Especially those associated with a certain three-letter agency. I do pray for the Kurds, and I pray America will do right by them. I also pray that our troops depart from that evil region forever.
Erdogan has enabled ISIS from the beginning, and Russia has been happy to see its Chechen friends head south for the slaughter. Iran plays everyone against each other and the Saudi’s continue to gaze at navels.
Either way, this is the third time we’ve burned the Kurds, but there is a glimmer of hope. Like Chesty Puller said,“They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!”
The Kurds have proven very resilient and much more resourceful than their enemies. Iraq, Iran, Syria, Saudi and Turkey are typical Muslim regimes, but the Kurds are a self-sufficient independent people who are dying for freedom. If Texans lived in the Middle East, they’d be Kurds.
Make a deal with the Iraqis to establish a base in northern Iraq and defend the Kurds Maybe we should just make it in Kurdish territory.
Well said sir. I’ve been involved in this for 3-1/2 years. Know some of them well. Respect them. Trust them.
I would not hesitate to accept the ones I know, for neighbors here in TX.
