The Kurdish people were the biggest ally in the War on Terror. They fought brilliantly, and held ISIS at bay. With the US abandoning them, and Turkey invading the country, it will likely lead to a genocide, since the Turks hate Kurdish people, and will team up with ISIS to drive them out of Syria,or annihilate them.
Sadly this marks 100 years from when the last time the Kurds were betrayed. They had been promised a homeland,with the defeat of the Ottomans. However, the Colonial powers divided up Kurdish land into the states of Turkey (SE), Syria (NE), Iraq (North), and Iran (NW).

Shameful actions done by Trump. The reason he is abandoning them isn't to end our endless wars(which should be done). It's because he has a hotel tower in Turkey and wants to please Erdogan. Trump is also supporting and selling weapons to Wahabbi Saudi Arabia(which produced 15 of the 19 hijackers for 9/11) and may go to war to defend them against Iran(which has never attacked our homeland and has no plans to do so). He's already sending troops to Saudi to protect to oilfield after Iran blew up one of them. Sad thing about American politics is things could have been MUCH worse if Hillary would have won. She would have overthrow Assad and let ISIS/Al Quada take over the whole country and the Christians/Shia and Kurds all would have been slaughtered. She's hinted she may still run and if she does she would top Trump for Syrian genocide. 1st thing she will do if elected is overthrow Assad. Best hope for the Kurds is to give up the hope for an autonomous providence and make a deal with the Syrian government. Assad doesn't want Turkey in his country. The right thing would have been for Trump to give the Kurds some leverage to cut a deal with Assad so they got a better deal. Kurds are gonna have to now come to Assad hat in hand take what they can get. Turkey was support ISIS with weapons a few years ago. For sure they will release all the ISIS prisoners they Kurds held. Trump ADMITS this. But no worries he says they will all go to Europe so all is well.

The Kurds have reached a deal with Assad for protection against the Turks. Syrian army has entered Kurdish Syria.
