The Kurds are an ethnic group spread across multiple sovereign countries. They have no legitimate government that is recognized by anyone. Calling them “allies” of the U.S. is preposterous.

Sir, you are getting bogged down in semantics. The realpolitick fact of the matter is that they have been fighting alongside the US in that region for a few decades and they most certainly as a cohesive ethnic force with the most effective fighting force in that region that spans borders are our allies.Sorry that they don’t meet your textbook definition of a country but not recognizing them as an allied fighting force of the US is beyond preposterous.
