None of the Kurds in the leadership of the KRG are Marxist.
Some of the supporters of the Syrian Kurds may in fact be.
The Syrian Kurds are more Communal in local government, but that was the case for the Israeli’s in the beginning. I’m not defending leftist positions, they simply don’t work.
The PKK until about 25 years ago were very far Leftists.
The Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran have all been persecuted by ME governments. They have all been treated as 2nd class or lower by the powers that be.
Kurds in Syria and Iraq have accomplished great deeds when it comes to ending ISIS. We have supported them to accomplish that.
Why do we care? Because of our allies in Israel. Because of our business partners in Saudi Arabia (won’t go past that)
Short answers about Kurds are impossible. They are in 4 countries and each of those groups is different.
In my opinion, it is still possible for the US and Russia to anchor a peace after ISIS is gone. Yes, I know what Russia is, no illusion.
Can we repair Turkey? No. I don’t believe anything will improve Turkey until Erdogan the Islamist is removed by the Turkish people. That is a problem, the opposition is in jail and all media in Turkey is pure propaganda.
you have your favorite tribesman over there that’s for sure
throwing rocks at each other for 5,000 years
