    I tend to subscribe to the viewpoint of "fuck it, let them all kill each other somewhere far away from me", but I do have a soft spot for the Kurds. They have been the loyalest of allies through many trying times and we have left them out to dry yet again. For what? To appease some asshole quasi dictator who really is far more of an enemy then a friend...

    I like some of Trump's domestic agenda but he's pretty well had his head up his ass on foreign policy from day one. He's way out of his depth and far to egotistical to realise it.

    The Kurds stepped up to the plate when we asked them to fight ISIS with us. It's a pretty shitty way to treat them now.

    What exactly should we be doing for the Kurds ? Help them establish their own state? How long should we commit?

    Perhaps we should not simply move our forces to allow a dictator to kill them freely and approve of him on Twitter.

    Christendom should have gotten its collective act together, and done a better job of defending Constantinople. They almost let Vienna fall, too.

    The Turks are not our friends.

    That's not really an answer on what our strategy SHOULD be and why.

    Yes, the West does business with Turks. Nothing new about that. Just ask the Venetians. The Turks tried to destroy them, too.

    Those towers should be standing in Constantinople.

    Or, the British Empire could have let the Tsar have a free hand with the Ottomans.
