Question - when did you first hear of the Kurds and in what context? What elevates them into some force for good and not a set of tribes who have been skirmishing for a few centuries and who need to be protected at all costs?
I first heard when Bush decided he could use them for some of his own purposes and started a propaganda spiel to validate giving them a lot of arms - many that ended up in other hands and being “counterproductive”, but the initial meme stuck with many and they “know” Trump is wrong but only have the Kurds lack of civilization which keeps them in “underdog” status as the reason.

Well besides all that, for Orange to say on one day he’s getting us out of all war zones etc. and then send 2000 troop to SA, which supported the murder of 3000 of our sins is hysterically hypocritical.

Other than that, i’m closing down my comments on this subject before I have no friends left on the board.

not that i had any before lol

I love what Trump is doing. I love the great comments on the board by great folks like yourself.

We just diverge on one situation and it’s not worth any animosity.

I hope you have a great weekend FRiend
