Didn’t we dick the Kurds over several times before? Are they really trusting the US again?
I think it’s less trust and more striking while the Iron looks hot.
Yeah… but there’s no way this back fires again
They may see this as an opportunity to create their own state
It’s a bold move Cotton, let’s see if it works for the 5th time.
Kurdish Iranian dissident groups based in northern Iraq are preparing for a potential cross-border military operation in Iran, and the U.S. has asked Iraqi Kurds to support them, Kurdish officials have told The Associated Press.
I haven’t been following the whole Turkey thing, but this is the sort of thing that I’d imagine would get the Turkish government twitchy, since they’ve traditionally been worried about an independent Kurdistan showing up, as part of that would likely overlap with part of Turkey.

Kurdish areas:
I agree. But, maybe, at some point, they settle on Kurds having a country that’s got zero overlap with Turkish land and in a place not strategically important to Turkey.
Edit: And we may see Azerbaijan enter the war and gain Azeri territory at the same time and I think Turkey would be very favorable to that end. So maybe they take a plus and a minus to even things out?
like a two state solution /s
Entirely possible, considering there’s more Azeris in Iran than in Azerbaijan, plus Azerbaijan’s staunch support of Israel, but complicated by their other major allies, Turkey, would join in against the Kurds if not in favour of Iran.
