They also are not a unified people. The Kurds are broken into various tribes ,clans and factions. This is mainly why they do not have a country. Remember we fought with these people . That does not make our friends or our responsibilities.

Nations don’t have friends they have interests.

Exactly. We talk too much about “allies” and “friends” but the reality is they often are not. It all just a matter of shared interests, which are frequently of a transitory nature and not long lasting.

Not saying we shouldn’t have alliances with other countries just that they are usually a matter of mutual convenience of the moment. Bottom line is that we have to look out for us.
