The war with Iran is going well if you believe the words of Little Donny and there has been a bit of hinting going on that ground forces will be needed in the near future if we are to end this ill-conceived war is to end.

This is where the Israelis come in…..their air force has been softening up the western portions of Iran in advance of the possibilities of the Kurdish forces advance into the country.

To the rescue how?

The Kurds have been used in several of our  conflicts in the Middle East…..Iraq and Syria readily come to mind….and now into Iran they may go.

Each time they have ‘come to the rescue’ they have been betrayed by the US and its allies…promises were not kept and the calls keep coming…..

With this conflict we are now in the midst of will the Kurds take it on the chin again?

The Trump administration has enlisted the support of Kurdish activists in Syria, Iraq, and Iran to join the U.S.-led war to unseat Iran’s clerical regime.  CNN reports that the Central Intelligence Agency is already arming Iranian Kurds. CNN and other outlets also report that President Trump spoke with Kurdish leaders in Iraq on March 8, 2026, about having their forces join the fight.

Washington’s motives for this move are easy to discern. The Kurdish minority concentrated along Iran’s western border has long sought to break away from Tehran’s control.  U.S. and Israeli leaders understand that such disruptive secessionist efforts could further damage the incumbent government’s already weakened position.

There is a major problem with that strategy, however.  Secessionist-minded Iranian Kurds do not merely want to undermine their oppressors in Tehran; many of them want to join their equally restless ethnic brethren in Iraq, Syria, and Turkey to establish a new, independent Kurdish homeland.  The incumbent governments in those volatile countries feud about a wide array of issues.  One objective all these governments have in common, though, is a determination to prevent the emergence of an independent Kurdish nation state, since that development would threaten the internal unity – and perhaps the continued viability–of multiple neighbors.

Previous U.S. administrations have encouraged and even actively supported Kurdish clients when it advanced Washington’s short-term goals.  Such initiatives invariably have been followed by cynical betrayals of those clients when the U.S. government concluded that support for parochial Kurdish objectives endangered higher priority U.S. regional objectives.

This cycle of support and betrayal has occurred repeatedly.  Most recently, the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations used Syrian Kurds as armed proxies in a long campaign to seize oil-rich territory in northern Syria and help unseat Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad.  A small contingent of U.S. ground troops deployed in northern Syria aided that effort. The Kurdish fighters were remarkably successful despite strong opposition from both Assad and Turkey.

Knowing that betrayal is on the table why would the Kurds do our bidding?

My guess is money and inventory.

They have been fighting for a homeland for generations and have gotten no closer than when they started the movement…..then why continue to allow the betrayals?

Plus they can come to the rescue by invading and saving American lives in doing so plus would keep Donny’s hands clean…..at least for now……his disapproval rating cannot stand too many hits.

Will the Kurds forget past betrayals and play along?
