This is what the US has been doing with them for decades, pretend to support their bid for independence when they want to stir up shit in the Middle East, and then leave them hanging out to dry.

I really feel for the Kurds, they're some of our best counter terrorist partners in the region and leaving them to get slaughtered by the Turks is a real shit move on our part. Lets hope this doesn't come back to haunt us in the future.

They're contemplating releasing thousands of captured ISIS fighters in retaliation.

If they do, I hope they at least shoot them afterwards (let's just all agree to look the other way)

We're going to completely ignore when Turkey rolls in and it's going to be as bad as when Saddam Hussein tried to get rid of them in Iraqi Kurdistan, except this time we're not providing at least a no fly zone like we did in the late 90s.

If only, but they're going to need all the ammo they can get for when the Turks go after them.

The Kurds we're backing are even decent. We managed (for once!) to pick a proxy that wasn't completely terrible or incapable of keeping things together, and now we're going to let Turkey do whatever to them(probably genocide).

I'm more upset about this part, we have a chance to develop a long term stable regional partner and we're flushing whatever influence we have down the toilet just because Trump wants to score some short term popularity points. Fuck him, this is going to bite us in the ass someday.

Turkey's immune to prosecution for war crimes. Just ask the Armenians.

Who should decide if it is a war crime and if it is decided its a war crime what should the punishment be and who do you think should enforce it?
