If the game is to create a Kurd-state out of the northern quarter of Syria...then you’d have to admit to nation-building and that’s not the job of the US (or for that matter France). Once ISIS was put down as a threat, the US should pack up and leave.

France is amending it’s error in 1918 dismantling the Ottoman empire
“If the game is to create a Kurd-state out of the northern quarter of Syria...then you’d have to admit to nation-building and that’s not the job of the US (or for that matter France)”
