For all the good that the Kurds did in fighting ISIS in Syria, they always seem to get bombed by somebody trying to prevent them from getting their own country or control of a piece of somebody else’s. They manage to keep parts of Iraq, Syria, and little bits here and there, but Turkey is about to change that if the news stories are true.
As I have said in my new book coming out in the Spring, everyone bombs the Kurds after they fight and die for a cause. Nobody, including Iraq and Syria, will defend them for the good that they did. They don’t even get a “thank you” from other countries. In the fight against ISIS, they were stretched thin, got less aide and support than they needed, yet captured territory nobody else could. That is a good thing isn’t it?
Maybe the Russians didn’t think so, or believed in keeping the Turks close. Either way, the Kurds got bombed. The same bunch in Afrin were bombed by the Russians a couple of years ago, when they said they were “after terrorists”. You may remember that was right after the Russians said they were withdrawing their troops from Syria. We saw how that worked out.
Perhaps we might tell everyone that the Kurds make better friends than enemies. If the Turks bomb those little cities trying to get rid of what they see as a safe-haven for terrorists, they may very well create a self-fulfilling prophecy. They will create a new bunch of people who are not happy with them killing some of their own. The Russians would rather wipe them out like Sadaam Hussein tried to do with his chemical weapons. We can see how that worked out for him, can’t we?
