U.S. to arm Syrian Kurds fighting Islamic State, despite Turkey's ire

with other words cooperation with Kremlin kleptocracy is very unproductive thing ))), its clear that USA choice is 3 states solution for "Syria", which is great . one more question, will IS collapse after Raqqa´s defeat ?

Arm the Kurds... Excellent! All according to plan. Twirls mustache.

 

I love the Kurds. Arm em up.

 

I guess the US is no longer indirectly supporting ISIS the way Hil and Obama were.

 

1. in the same time, Putler tries to Kurds to AKP. by the way do you know what ARMS Kurds are gonna get?

 

Hil and Obama supported YPG too , its a strategical alliance

 

Good for the Kurds, they probbely wont rely on Assad after the war so they are heading to indipendance.

 

Great ... Erdogan will cry havoc and not being further cuddle friend of Ronald Donald!
Great ... Germany still does this since 4 years with the Peshmerga by having military advisors at them, giving them G-3 assault rifley, MG-3 machine guns and also MILAN AT-weapons.

 

man, assad baathists (arab - nationalists) have oppressed the Kurds like no other NR group in "Syria" . arab - belts , language- citizenship bans , the most brutal in the world arabization , etc,

 

Peshmerga is south Kurdistan, we talk about the western one

 

And makes Turkey any difference here? Not really ...
And I know that the YPG is here topic at least, but they are fighting together with the Peshmerga in alliance ;-.)

 

yes , south Kurdistan n1 partner in the region for Turkey , western one deadly foe (as kemslists and ergodan think), western K. turks call for YPG/PKK and afraid, simple ´cos its the most progressive region in MENA side by side with Israel

 

From what I saw on TV the other night they'll be receiving some armored personnel carriers, machine guns, light arms, combat bulldozers and other construction equipment.

As for what will happen to Caliph Inrahim's death cult after the fall of Raqqa, I expect they'll keep fighting in Syria & Iraq and continue scattering to places like Libya where they already established a base of operations. A few may try to launch terror attacks in Russia, the West, etc.

 

Sorry, but are you serious? You mean the Kurds in Northern Iraq are partners for Turkey? Please investigate better!

 

We should give the Kurds their own sovereign nation in northeast Syria and northern Iraq.

There is nothing sacred about the Iraqi's or Syrian's getting it back.

The Iraqi's should never have been given it in the first place.

So, yes, I agree -- arm the Kurds up.

 

So aside the superfluous discarded stocks of M-113A3 APC's and some armored bulldozers of M-9 type rifles and machine guns.
And yep ... the ISIS will do at least the same as what the Taliban does in Afghanistan (with whom the ISIS is in war too btw.) + possibility to make terror acts in other countries.

 

Take the next plane and fly to Ankara and tell this Trump's cuddle friend Erdogan ... you will be jailed for life time then!

Anyway ... I agree too and also for a Kurdish state and as still told, my country supplies, trains and arms Kurds of Northern Iraq since 4 years officially ... and giving a crap on Erdogan and Turkey, and giving day for day more crap about this dictator and terrorist helper.

I agree that some sort of arrangement should have been made for the Kurds after WWI but that mistake is one of the many legacies of the Great War that we're still living with 100 years later.

 

Yep ... and last week and yesterday the Turks bombed Kurds in Syria and Iraq again ... so far about partnership etc.!

 

Exactly.

Now that Syria and Iraq are powerless it is now a good time to fix that and give the Kurds their own real estate and the means to defend it. They can pay us back in oil. Their lands are rich in oil.

 

Someone must have gone to tea too early without completing their area studies and maps.

All the more reason to oppose any more decentralization than we already have. Big issues tend to get scant attention by the higher ups. The same dynamics caused the Gulf oil disaster.

 

In South Kurdistan it was aria under pkk control , no go zone for barzani and his gang.
