Why would we oppose Turkey ?
We worked with Kurds in Iraq and have helped them set up a quasi autonomous area in Northern Iraq but we NEVER promised them Turkey or any part of Turkey. This friction/conflict between Turkey and the Kurds is almost a century old. Before that it was between Kurds and the Ottoman empire. I do not care who is in the White House, Turkey is our ally and a member of NATO.
Because Trump is a nitwit and changes policy several times a week does not mean we should start backing what can be seen as an ongoing separatist uprising in Turkey. The Turkish government and military are looking at Kurdish bases of operation in Syria now and want to make sure the Kurds are not building a base of operation for future violence in Southern Turkey.
Get over it. We should either back Turkey or just stay out of it.
