“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.

Fighting stupid wars that this country had no business ever fighting in the first place. Can you explain the national interest we have in taking sides in civil wars halfway around the world?

The Kurds have been engaged in a decades-long insurgency in Turkey. In fact, the Kurdish political party in Turkey (the PKK) is considered a terrorist organization by the Turkish government.

It is preposterous on its face to have the U.S. maintaining an "alliance" with an ethic group inside the borders of a country that has a mutual defense treaty with the U.S.

Do you think it's a coincidence that these military campaigns have been foisted on the American public by the same globalist @ssholes who are hell-bent on eliminating our own borders here in the U.S.?
