Support for a Kurdish State is one thing but reality is another. The Kurds are to fractured a people to be able to form a nation. This has been their problem for the last 800 years and why there in no Kurdistan.

My view is that there already is an independent Kurdistan. They are completely self-governing, and it is safe. They are not recognized officially by anyone because no one wants to tick off the Turks... something like not recognizing Taiwan because no one wants to tick off Beijing.

But we are not obligated to help them expand their territory into Syria. If they can do it, and hold it, good for them. But its not our job to shed blood for it. Just my view.

A “Kurdistan” would be a nation that would be so politically and religiously divided that it would be in civil war within years while constantly being encroached by Syria,Iran,Turkey,Iraq, and Russia. The USA,of course would have its head up its Bolton and Obama. It would make a hypothetical Palestine look like a Switzerland.
