alt Hacker NewsThe problem is with own official country between Iraq and Iran is that it is long term promise. Will USA and Israel hold on their word a year or two later? Assuming success of course. Can Kurds rely on Trump administration and its succeeding administration to keep the word here? Will they?

The Kurd aren't dumb. They know they'll be betrayed. It's still their best shot. Many of them have been hanging out in the mountains for decades waiting for an opportunity like this. They are going to take it whether the US helps them further or not -- even if they don't they are likely to be blamed and punished as if they had while the regime lashes out. Surely they'll accept pallets the US is about to drop to them.
I think it’s better to rely on themselves. But I do think IL would like to have them as an ally. Just my guess though.
