But who would ever put their trust in a combined operation again such as the Kurds have done, to know that the US may at any moment throw you under the bus?
it's all well and good orchestrating a regime change and backing it with support in a region, but to then effectively sever it like this means no group will give you the time of day.
I just hope ISIS does not re-emerge to bite us all in the ass, because I doubt the Kurds will be all that favourable to the States again if it all goes pear shaped.
