You would think the Kurds would learn by now but nope they keep falling for it. I don't mean to insult the Kurds, it's just the empire makes tempting offers and doesn't care to follow through. Never trust imperialism.

I imagine it hasn't helped their popularity in the region a bit, as well, that they keep going to bat for the US. Honestly my view on things as a result is that I have sympathy for the Kurds in Turkey- but those in Syria and Iraq deserve near anything they get.

Turns tinfoil hat on:

Thats the price for swedish nato descension, couldn't approve f35 cause eric adams and bob menendez fucked up a deal somewhere.

That actually wouldn't surprise me.

I think the f35 deal could never have happened, too likely to crash the plane somewhere that's too close for comfort to Russia. The US is very afraid someone might learn something they will then sell or give to Russia or China. us-foreign-policy means they can't treat anyone but the most committed and loyal vassal states

But apparently warcriminals already denied this, so #fakenews anyways
