Well....
The Kurds fought ISIS in their own lands, and fought them well.
And also in arab areas. Where the defenders ran away.
They deserve credit.
Doesn’t mean they deserve to keep those arab areas though.
All true. And they owe much of their success to the exceptional air power, artillery and ISR of the USA. Against the Turks, they quickly realized what it is like to be on the other side of that equation.
