You poor thing.
Youre operating under the assumption a actually care what you think.
The Kurds were helpful to us, and we should be helpful to them in return.
I didnt say we should send troops, so quit pissing on your own foot and telling yourself youre in a pissing contest?
How do you plan to have allies in the future if we continually turn our back on people who have helped us?
Another poster suggested we arm the Kurds then let them defend themselves. Thats just fine with me.
So much of your juniors grasp of options.
See post 72, jackass.
It applies in full to you, because you have earned it in every way.
I have no problem with selling arms to the Kurds, and never indicated that I did. But many of them are communists and those are only allies as long as neccessary.
Stalin was our ally when we were fighting the Germans.
Afterward, not so much.
I think thats a good model to follow and (although you disparage me for continuing after that example) I have no shame about leaving communists to their own devices.
