Uncle Sam has always left the Kurds high and dry. They were promised a country after ww1. The U.S backstabbed them after gw1, gw2 and again after Isis defeat. Moral of the story, is never trust lying double crossing U.S politicians for anything. Its all a game

Does anyone remember that in America after the Civil War the government policy of wiping out plains Indians in the buffalo they depended on? Yeah - that happened.
Plains Indians relied on bison for food and housing, and the wild buffalo was seen as a sacred animal. At the time,between 30 and 60 million buffalo are thought to have roamed the plains—and Sherman knew that if the buffalo went, so would Native Americans. “The government realized that as long as this food source [and] key cultural element was there,” anthropologist and Native American studies professor S. Neyooxet GreymorningtoldIndian Country Today, “it would have difficulty getting Indians onto reservations.”
