I24 is an israeli news outlet, so they will be putting out pro isreal propaganda, and based on reporting from dropsite news most kurdish groups have chosen to stay out of it.

I was like, the Kurds flatly rejected the CIA’s attempt to bring them into this

Why do the Kurds keep falling for this?

Akh@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 145d

They didn’t, why did you fall for propaganda

Cool so in 20 years we will be bombing them?

Only if they win. If they lose, we'll be abandoning them as you know; a Trump never pays his debts.

You have every right to be pissed off by all this, but please take care of yourself and your mental health. Take a break if you need to, there's no shame in it! 🫂

The Kurds would be crazy to think that Trump wouldn't abandon them like last time.

PJAK are basically partisans, they might take a few posts and that's it. Peshmerga, an actual trained force is unlikely doing anything at this point. Conservative estimates for both are 1000 fighters in PJAK, 100k in Peshmerga, just to put things into perspective

I believe the cited Kurdish groups immediately disclaimed this. Also this is over 4 days old. There was no ground invasion.
