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.
