US takes sides in Turkey-Kurdish clash in Syria

[Doc1]

"Over the last several years, the US has had a close, cooperative relationship with the Kurdish militia, the YPG, in Syria. Along with other Arab militias, the YPG helped drive ISIS out of Syria and Iraq.

Bu the chaos in Syria has allowed the YPG to carve out a fairly substantial territory along the Turkish border. This has not sat well with Turkish President Erdogan who considers the YPG terrorists.

The YPG militia group has not carried out any attacks inside of Turkey, although their fellow Kurds in the PKK - the Kurdish Workers Party - have been conducting a low level rebellion in Turkey for years.

Erdogan has chosen to regard the YPG as no better than the PKK, despite US support. That support is now being withdrawn, according to the government in Ankara, as Erdogan has extracted a promise from the US not supply the YPG with weapons.

"When push comes to shove, whether in Iraq, Syria, or Turkey, when it comes to the Kurds, the US has bowed to the wishes of the governments where Kurdish territory is located. We have made it abundantly clear over the years and several administrations that Kurds looking for a friend in their fight for a homeland will have to look elsewhere when it comes to the US."

Time for people to STOP trusting the US , AND time for everyone INCLUDING American's to understand that our Government cannot be trusted. There are NOT two parties, just the Bankers and their slaves.

In most of the land the Kurds control is not a single Kurd. But Afrin is one of Syria´s Kurdish regions.

I require a more credible source.

Then do your own research, pretty simple really.

We don't belong in Syria. We never did. And now we'll sell the Kurds out. When will this insane meddling end? When will Americans demand an end to this Perpetual War agenda?

We need to support a homeland for the Kurds.

 

[theHawk]

We need to kick Turkey out of NATO and stop pretending they are any ally.

The Kurds are one of the very few factions of Muslims we have had good relations with, as in they don’t appear to conduct terror attacks against us. But they are still Muslims, so who knows if they are really any better.

I’d be for “supporting” a Kurdish state, but they need to do it on their own, no US troops involved and no billions of dollars in “aid”.

We need to support a homeland for the Kurds.

I thought borders and autonomy were inherently exclusionary and racist?

That’s not very globalist of you.

If true, we'll hear about it soon enough.
