during the Iraq war, Americans were only safe in the Kurdish areas. We shouldn’t be trashing them or giving Turkey an opportunity to massacre them.

They’d be massacring them whether we ever went to Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria. Who protected the Kurds before 2003? Not U.S. troops.

“Giving Turkey an opportunity to massacre them”

That bullshit argument is based upon a false assumption that we have an obligation to be there.

So, we should shed our blood and treasure protecting them forever? The Kurds need to stand up for themselves. Plenty of "peoples" have been eradicated from this Earth. The Kurds are just another. This exposes Turkey and Erdoğan as the vile islamist who should be kicked out of NATO.
