And the previous presidents who screwed them over had a far better reputation for truth and reliability than the Trump regime. But still screwed them over.

Lightly armed Kurds versus a massive Persian army.

This only proves successful if your goal is to kill more Kurds.

The Trump administration have no clue what the hell they're doing if they expect the Kurds to fight in Iran for the US. It's almost as if they make up shit as they go. Now members of Congress are deeply concerned that Trump wants US military boots on the ground in Iran. More US deaths. Forever War?

I suppose someone has to fill all those vacant boots. The brave patriots prefer to kill carelessly from great height. Trump prefers to play golf & collect medals, prizes & awards for biggest army.

The Kurds are one of the worst treated groups in the middle east. I can't imagine they would be interested after what happened very recently in Syria.

If Im the Kurds I take every weapon offered by the US/Israel carve myself a nice defensible chunk of land out of Syria/Iraq/Iran and then tell Trump/Hegseth/et al to pound sand and take on the IRGC themselves.

American hegemony is powered by a cursed artifact that demands the blood sacrifice of several thousands Kurds every few years. It's the only logical answer.

“Sure, give us those weapons and we will do our best” the Kurds reply, but for some reason they are looking West and North instead of East when they say it.

Now if I were Kurdish leader, I would tell Murika "okay, we'll help you traitorous bitches with the Iranians on the konditions that you help us with the Turks. If you kan't do that then go fuck yourselves."

Because all those hoped for uprisings where the people would us as liberators, like in Hungary in ‘56 and Cuba in ‘61 and Iraq in 2003 and Venezuela in the last month or so, all went so well.
