You’re a propagandist and northern Syria isn’t Hawaii. When China tries for Hawaii China will be reduced to nothing and rebuilt as a capitalist American ally. Like you give a rat’s ass about some insignificant chunk of Syria.
[You’re a propagandist]
Trump’s comparisons to Normandy are inapt. Our “allies” there fought for the same reason as the Syrian Kurds - to keep their identities separate from a conquering power. Apart from the Soviets, who fought the Germans to avoid being killed to the last man, woman and child, after they helped the Germans kick off WWII, the US took the largest number of soldiers killed on European battlefields. The Syrian Kurds have lost about 10,000 dead. The US has lost 8. That’s how the Syrian Kurds have been way better allies than all of Western Europe combined.
Most of our so-called allies are little more than hangers-on. The Syrian Kurds are a big exception. And that’s why the Special Forces people on the ground aren’t too thrilled at the thought of abandoning them to their fate, even as they were fairly blase about getting out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
