The Kurds have no friends but the mountains.............
Brutalized by all the countries there forever..........
But to push for them would require pretty much calling for a Kurdistan country........which Turkey would invade.........a member of NATO.........
We can't stay there forever..............and we can't really create that state without more War.
So in a nut shell............We are fucked like everyone else in the middle east..........Time to leave.
I'd love it if we could do more to help the Kurds, but it is a tricky situation diplomatically. We saw the shit Trump took just for excepting a congratulatory phone call from the President of Taiwan when he was elected. We have to throw off our bonds with these tyrannical governments, and actually support the people in these regions who need it. BUT... I don't think the Kurds have any oil we want.
