The Kurds are only our friends because we supported their cause, which is a Kurdish country.
huh?.....Since when has the U.S. admin supported the push for an independent Kurdish state?
the U.S admin even goes out of its way to prevent Kurds independently selling their own oil,
because its counter to U.S foreign policy of a 'united Iraq'.
...
carve them out a self-sustaining territory out of the area where they subsist.
parts of turkey, syria, iran and iraq.
there, that ought to piss'em off.
its far easier to leave the Kurds without a nation, than try and wrestle lands back from those four.
The lands once owned by the Kurds have great oil wealth and strategic importance for the region,
hence why the Kurds were progressively disenfranchised of such since 1923.
Those who think Kurds could come together as a united people/Nation, don't know the Kurds very well.
