Syria’s Kurds have incorporated a mixed town they captured from ISIS group into territory they claim in the country’s north, a leading party said Wednesday.

I was about to say, Turkey are going to want to bomb them.

the possibility exists, if the American electorate chooses wisely, that a Kurdish state may emerge from the chaos. Turkey, having forfeited its legitimacy through malignant islamism, will have to deal with it. Iraq will have land to give, if only because there is no serious government there to oppose it.

I read somewhere that the relatively moderate and secular Kurds are the largest stateless population in the world.

Tragically yes. To be replaced by they hope The Islamic Ottoman Caliphate Mark II led by the wannabe Sultan of Horsecrap Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. That's progress huh? Progress for them is going backwards.
