#1 mixed feelings... Kurds in general have been screwed by everybody including US, but YPG's associations with PKK are off-putting. Yah, I know the official line that they aren't connected but Sein Fein said the same about the IRA....

#2 I get that, but YPG is not a "political arm" of PKK. It's a separate military militia (or supposed to be)

#3 Pompeo is saying the same thing in another article at R-burg today. It has been reported that Trump had an agreement with Erdogan to protect the Kurds.

The Kurds have been good allies.
