Another report that explains the level of trust the Kurds had in the US and the depth of that betrayal."More in sorrow than in anger, the commander, Mazloum Abdi, wrote, “When the whole world failed to support us, the United States extended its hands. We shook hands and appreciated its generous support.”
But under Turkish pressure, at Washington’s request, the Kurds “agreed to withdraw our heavy weapons from the border area with Turkey, destroy our defensive fortifications, and pull back our most seasoned fighters. Turkey would never attack us so long as the U.S. government was true to its word with us.”
Or so they believed.
“We are now standing with our chests bare to face the Turkish knives,” Mazloum wrote."
