With both Iraq and Turkey as US ‘allies’ there is little to none chance for Kurdish state. I don’t think Kurds are into and idea to support any American cause there too and for a simple reason of a very dramatic history for any party taking American side being located in hostile environment. Ask South Vietnam, Saddam Hussein and numerous other. Priorities are windy in Washington DC. Today an ally, tomorrow a corrupt dictator and terrorist.
With both Iraq and Turkey as US ‘allies’
***I see you’re being ‘sarcastic’ here, so you don’t perceive either of them as particularly strong nor valuable allies.
I don’t think Kurds are into an[y] idea to support any American cause there too
***Your writing is difficult to follow. I amended it to what I think you were trying to say. What I wrote wasn’t about getting Kurdish support for the “american cause”, it was about getting American support for the Kurdish cause. For freedom and autonomy of an indigenous population where it would be in our best interest in the fight against Iran, in particular.
and for a simple reason of a very dramatic history for any party taking American side being located in hostile environment.
***The French took our side when our nation was born. The brits took ‘our’ side when they were surrounded by hostile Nazis. Israel took ‘our’ side and they’re surrounded by enemies. Your point lacks weight.
Ask South Vietnam,
***South Vietnam seems like a reasonable place to start your analogy. We failed them. We didn’t take the ‘side’ of the Vietnamese people, we took the side of the anticommunists, to fight against the very same Vietnamese we had trained in WWII to fight against Japanese Imperialism but who were now motivated to fight against other perceived foreign imperialism.
Saddam Hussein and numerous other.
***Ask Saddam? When he was on ‘our’ side he thrived. When he was against us he languished. His example doesn’t exactly help what you’re trying to say.
Priorities are windy in Washington DC. Today an ally, tomorrow a corrupt dictator and terrorist.
***And the day after that, an ally again... if the nationalistic indigenous patriots are strong enough. Like Israel. Britain. France. East Germany. Japan.
