The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been striking Kurdish groups and said on Tuesday that it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones.
Isn’t this exactly what we did that caused 9/11?
Some people learn from past actions to make better decisions, but this current administration is against learning.
“History does not repeat, but it sure does rhyme” and wow, are Americans poets or what? Malicious, brain dead poets, but still…
Well… no
well… yes? I mean taliban where armed by the us to fight the soviets or not?
They also armed the Soviets against the nazi’s and the Kurds against ISIS
Al Qaeda grew out of foreign volunteers that fought with the mujahedeen because they want a pan-islamist jihad. It’s because of this belief that they turned their attention towards the US after they started building an alliance with the sunni states in the Middle East (which also meant the latter de facto accepted Israel)
If you keep that in mind, you see there there aren’t really that many parallels
