If you’re following Tsarfati, you know that the Kurds haven’t exactly kept their promises to us, flirting with the Shiite side like they did in Iraq and actually selling oil to Assad (and to Iran, I read somewhere else).
So don’t shed too many crocodile tears for the Kurds, is my advice.
They are a vulnerable group because they have no nation and look for help wherever they can get it at the time. But that doesn’t mean our foreign moves should be in any way based on loyalty to them. We should honor our commitments to those who honor theirs to us.
Troops here are waiting for orders now that Mattis is out and decisions are still being made.
