US Considers Betraying Kurds, Again. Shocking.
Al-Monitor highlights Syrian Kurds' anxieties over an upcoming Trump meeting, fearing a repeat of past US betrayals. This 'fear' isn't some irrational paranoia; it's a documented historical pattern. Remember the 1975 Algiers Accord, where the US (under Kissinger's 'covert action') abandoned Iraqi Kurds after using them against Saddam? Or the 2019 withdrawal from northern Syria, unleashing Turkish
forces on Kurdish allies who spearheaded the fight against ISIS? Each time, the script is eerily similar: US promises of support, strategic use of Kurdish fighters, then a sudden pivot leaving them vulnerable. One might wonder if the US foreign policy doctrine for the Kurds simply reads: 'Use, then discard.' How many times does a trusted ally need to be thrown under the bus before the bus driver
gets called out for a pattern?
