Bomb them, Turkey!
*********************
Do you have the slightest clue that the Syrian Kurds have suffered much from ISIS, then the shed much blood on the ground to defeat USIS and all during this time have done NOTHING to harm the Erdogan Turks. Nothing that is other than defeat ISIS with which Erdogan had profitable business arrangements.

I am sure the communist and PKK terrorist Kurds appreciate your defense, along with all the Muslim sect Kurds.

From Wikipedia:

“A majority of Kurds belong to the Shafi‘i school of Sunni Islam, but significant numbers practise Shia Islam and Alevism, while some are adherents of Yarsanism, Yazidism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity.”

It’s really noble you want them to rely on the US and our soldiers’ lives for these non-US citizens who insisted on enlarging their territory while not negotiating for a future.

How would an independent Kurdish state be run? As a democracy? Freedom of religion? Women’s rights? Free enterprise?

I’m just wondering, since we’re apparently supposed to spend fight and die to create such a state (all without Congressional declaration of war, but of course that part of the Constitution doesn’t have to respected, kind or like the Second Amendment)

have done NOTHING to harm the Erdogan Turks

In 2016, the PKK (Kurds) vowed to overthrow the Erdogan government.
