[quote:sunwatcher:MV80MTU5Mzg2Xzc1NTczMjIwXzhERjBGRTlC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78039850:MV80MTU5Mzg2Xzc1NTczMTI3XzExRDJENTYx] THE U.S. IS NOW BETRAYING THE KURDS FOR THE EIGHTH TIME THE WHITE HOUSE announced Sunday night that the United States is giving Turkey a green light to invade northern Syria, with the U.S. troops there now apparently pulling back to another area of the country. This is the scenario that Syrian Kurds have long feared. It will almost inevitably lead to a Turkish attack on Kurdish militias in Syria — fighters who loyally helped the U.S. destroy the Islamic State, but whom Turkey bogusly claims to be terrorists. On Monday morning, New York Times columnist Paul Krugman asked why Donald Trump made this decision: What Krugman left out, however, is the most likely explanation: (d) Trump is president of the United States. Nothing in this world is certain except death, taxes, and America betraying the Kurds. The U.S. has now betrayed the Kurds a minimum of eight times over the past 100 years. The reasons for this are straightforward. The Kurds are an ethnic group of about 40 million people centered at the intersection of Turkey, Syria, Iran, and Iraq. Many naturally want their own state. The four countries in which they live naturally do not want that to happen. On the one hand, the Kurds are a perfect tool for U.S. foreign policy. We can arm the Kurds in whichever of these countries is currently our enemy, whether to make trouble for that country’s government or to accomplish various other objectives. On the other hand, we don’t want the Kurds we’re utilizing to ever get too powerful. If that happened, the other Kurds — i.e., the ones living just across the border in whichever of these countries are currently our allies — might get ideas about freedom and independence. Here’s how that dynamic has played out, over and over and over again since World War I. https://theintercept.com/2019/10/07/kurds-syria-turkey-trump-betrayal/ [/quote] no high leadership "allows" to be "betrayed" "8 times" all a matter of plans and interests, not a matter of "reliance/trust" [/quote]
