asking for a friend, but why is it our responsibility to intervene?

Syria, Turkey, Iran will now be fighting

@WhiteGuilty because it's America's job to create a Kurdistani ethnostate, lmao

Its not about intervening, the question is about leaving

This will be a Kurdish genocide now

The question is leaving.... do the Kurds not have a right to exist??

Our service members are stepping down

it will lead directly to intervention

that not a why, that is a simple explanation to what one might think is happening. Why is it our responsibility to maintain peace?

Maddog stepping down, this should tell you how severe this is

"do the Kurds have a right to exist"
not really

There was not a Kurdish genocide before the Syrian meltdown, the Kurds have limited self rule in the northern Iraqi province.

Do I have a right to exist if you're stronger than me?

aren't they an autonomous part of iraq?

i can understand the situation in eastern turkey tho

There was systematic persecution of the Kurds, this will most likely increase

I asked you if the Kurds have a right to exist, and you say 'not really', yet I'm the neocon? 😂 I think we're done here. You're not worth the time.

lmao

I'm too Hobbesian for you I guess

who will be the garuntor for a kurdish free state?

all the neighbors will hate them

(as if they already don't)

It'd be Israel 2.0

Have you ever noticed that the female counter part in the game prey looks kind of like ocasio cortez?\

The US is not in syria alone, the french have announced they increase their presence there.

And I'm not in favor of pulling support from Israel, I just don't believe in taking on another burden

I am curious if this will become an Anti-Soviet Afghanistan all over again. We stay out but funnel arms in throw third parties and mercenaries

@Coochie coo Perhaps we could offer them refuge (since they actually deserve it) rather than spent more American lives provoking shit in that area of the world?

crickets

I am all for an international force deployed to secure the Kurds rights. But is should be done properly with a UN mandate.

As long as we don't have to do it, I don't care who does it or if it even gets done

yup

i agree with @4AM_critter 🐉

The problem is the US neocons all but destroyed the US credibility with the UN assembly eith the second Iraq war

i'm wary that a kurdish free state will be another excuse for war hawks to world police it up some more

Actually wait, scratch that; I don't want Russia to do it. That'd be some WW3 shit

let's get djbouti to do it

I ain't out here tryna get nuked to death

Djbouti might not be thick enough to succeed

Djbouti has been invaded

The question about Syria is how many of the other western countries would stay and how many would also pull out along the Americans.
