    Absolutely, that is what I said before. It's enough oil to satisfy the Kurd's needs and also be able to sell some.

    Seems like Turkey is saying they are about to begin operations against Kurd's that haven't withdrew passed the 20 mile safe zone and we have troops there. Now what happens if Turkey goes ahead and fires on the Kurd's, are we to go to war with a NATO Allie over who Turkey considers their enemy?

    Just remember what happened when GB and France took the Suez canal after it's nationalization by Egypt. Eisenhower told them it was okay or to get out?

    Come on...you don't seriously think that Trump would throw our ally, who led the fight against ISIS, under the bus just because of his name use contract on a couple of buildings in Istanbul, do you? Hmmm? Well...? Yeah...come to think of it, I guess you're right. Seems to fit.

    "In August 2019, the US and Turkey agreed to establish a joint buffer zone along the Turkish-Syrian border, which Kurdish officials expressed support for and proceeded to dismantle border fortifications amid assurances Turkey would not invade."
    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-08/turkey-want-to-attack-syrias-kurds-donald-trump/11581504

    Those assurances came from the US who told the Kurds they would not allow Turkey to invade the buffer zone.

    That "seat at the table" turned in to game of musical chairs.

    Trump promised that he was bringing the troops home.
    He lied again.
    He has re-deployed them, and deployed even more troops.

    You do what you need to do depending on the situation.

    I really wonder why American people care the Kurds so much and they think that Kurds are angel? Why you American people fall in love the Kurds? I read American comments in twitter and that American people’s so angry about turkey’s operation (especially Hillary’s fan or similar ones) makes me so surprised. Meantime, English people don’t care what happening between Turkey and Kurdish terrorists (PKK) as much as American’s do. While English don’t care, why Americans so interested in what the hell happening? Is it your business? Why you don’t just leave Europe and Asia and Africa alone and don't just live in your d.mn continent?
    What happened in Iraq and what did US there? And Vietnam... Oh America, what a great America! I wish the Indian’s won...
