Meanwhile I quizzically gaze at the birds sitting on the back of an alligator while it floats in front of me and I mull whether to trust the alligator to support me if I step out onto its back.

    They have Literally just been betrayed by Trump in Syria, the smartest move would be to take the guns and tweet about how great their uprising while doing absolutely nothing.

      Actually not a bad idea especially if they had some kind of backchannel communication with Iran where they made it clear they just wanted the weapons and were not actually going to invade because they knew it would be suicidal given that it is obvious Trump will betray the Kurds again.

      How could Iran not see the logic in this?

    The Kurds have been betrayed by America like 9 times. Surely the 10th time will be different.

    From what I hear directly from Kurdish sources they are not mobilizing. Rather they are sitting back because they have been back stabbed enough

    If they’re smart they will “mull it over” till this whole thing blows over. No point on getting on that trigger happy morons bad side. Just think about it till he loses interest and forgets about it.

    I see lot of “no Trump trust”. I say agree. Trump no honest person. USA no trust.
