Don't worry. It appears he may be about to flip flop from the bi-partisan backlash....

He really is an idiot agent of chaos and has killed any trust in our allyship
Or he's a tactician businessman as he has been since transforming NY & his entire life.
Time will tell, But how anyone can argue with a guy who's got so much done in his life is beyond me, Like him or not.

It's not just that alliance. It's the message it sends to all our other allies.

The Kurds helped us defeat ISIS. They were the boots on the ground when we couldn't commit thousands of soldiers to another war.

They're moderate Muslims. The SDF heavily promotes female units and women's rights in general.

And this is what we do to them. It really has to make our other allies rethink what their "partnership" with us means.

You retards cant make up your mind if we should start another war or mind our own business. Trump is rent free in some heads and all they can do is Orange man bad. The TDS is strong in this thread.

they arent old enough to remember when george bush sr convinced the kurds to rise up against sadam and then left them to be slaughtered
Didn't just leave them. Allowed Saddam to have gunships to mow them down after we encouraged their uprising. Despite a no fly zone for fixed wing aircraft.

If the SDF/YPG is left to the slaughter it will be worse.

They defeated ISIS ffs

Iraqi and Iranian Kurds mainly speak Sorani. It's written in the Arabic script and has about 6-7 million speakers. Syrian and Turkish Kurds, as well as some Kurds in northwestern Iraq, speak Kurmanji, which is written using the Latin alphabet and has 15-20 million speakers.

The two dialects are not mutually intelligible (i.e. the speakers can't understand each other)

Different Kurds but yeah
They're the same Kurds my friend. The so-called 'Syrian Kurds' have only resided in Syria since the 1930s and 40s when they arrived there as refugees. They all come from Anatolia and Iran originally.

And now they're showing the Syrian state that took them in what Kurdish gratitude looks like.

They're not, please see my post above. Syrian and Turkish Kurds speak Kurmanji, Iraqi and Iranian Kurds speak Sorani.

They are the same in a cultural and ethnic sense, but saying they're the same would be like saying I'm the same as a German.

Of course you're right. There are tribal, ethno-linguistic and religious differences. I meant the same as in non indigenous invaders and usurpers in Syria.

No need to feel guilty my friends. This 'betrayal' is straight from the playbook. The great powers always use the Kurds as their henchmen and then abandon them afterward. It has been so since the Battle of Chaldiran in 1514 and so it shall be again. The strongest empire is always their sponsor and always they are left on their own to answer for their actions.
