The article is dated September 26th. The Iraqi army controls the area. The Kurds are not our friend. They are unreliable, sell any weapons we give them and run when confronted.
Times are changing faster than the western media can create propaganda.
The Kurds have been the best friends we’ve had in this conflict.
You are sadly mistaken about frindship with the Kruds. Those in charge and not the YPK or commie rebel groups who are no one’s friend. The US and Israel have long maintained a close relationship with the Kruds; I am quite sure only Iran is nuts enough to encrouch upon this area inside Iraq. Me thinks this is the trip wire that will give Trump the free hand to bomb Iran.
