Because the Kurds aligned themselves with the illegal Invaders of my Gov’t, the minority Kurds should be given control of a large part of a Country of 23 million. And that large swath of land should have a lot of the illegally invaded Country”s ol and water resources, too?

I have said for years, the Kurds are stupid to trust the US.
Well, they are not only stupid, but delusional.

Post Vietnam, being a third world US “ally” has been a very precarious position. It’s a function of our own internal political strife caused by a radical left, and hidden deep state. Nothing is quite as it appears on the surface, and is subject to political change

The lesson is: don’t trust Fed.gov

We have elections here, so in the absence of a formal treaty that has been ratified by the Senate, agreements are always subject to change.

Any foreign interest would do well to consider any agreement with the U.S. government as something that will last no more than 48 hours.

Please remember...

The Kurds are Sunni Muslims.

They are not stupid, they just forgot about history.The American people are likely to back the underdog in the being . But people tend to grow weary of a war that goes on and on. The Kurds have been in this situation for thousands of years. The United States used them for a purpose and the Kurds used the United States for a purpose. That’s the way power politics works. Very so often the Kurds tend to take advantage of the current situation and establish some form of independence and then reality in the form of one of their larger neighbors takes that independence away. The Kurds resist and them after a time make peace with the neighbor in order to survive. The Kurds have been doing this for thousands of years. The United States cannot change this and all the complaining by the Washington establishment cannot change it. The President is following the will of the American people. Imagine that.
