Now what? Do we leave our troops over there in harm's way while two parties previously allied in a fight against ISIS now resume their internal domestic dispute, or, do we cut and run, leaving the Kurds to fend for themselves in a domestic dispute having nothing whatsoever to do with the fight against terrorism?
Iraqi's can count Americans among others as their allies and this little fracas has the potential to, somewhere down the road, having Canadian trained and equipped Kurds with Canadian support looking through gunsights at Iraqi's being supported by American MIC interests.
This has the potential to get really messy, yet our press is saying virtually nothing about it on National news networks. Morneau's business versus public representation ethics conflict still assumes the spotlight.
Yes; and not surprisingly, the Kurds are somewhat opportunistically accusing the international community (including Canada) of stabbing them in the back after they joined the fight against ISIS.
It would appear the Kurds long range plans included them arriving at a higher degree of autonomy within Iraq all along and now they are leveraging their position by attempting to shame the allies into interceding on their behalf with the leadership in Iraq.
One more of those many foreign quagmires we've witnessed unfold in exactly parallel happenings too many times to count before this.
Canada should not have been surprised at this turn of events and Singh has admitted they had anticipated it, so at this juncture we will get to see how deftly Singh and Trudeau can extricate us from what promises to be nothing but trouble for Canada.
You're kidding yourselves if you think Canada is alone in training Peshmergas. I don't see them fighting, actually. Often when you have two highly trained forces in a potential conflict, the result usually an agreement or at least a begrudging standing down. Reason and intelligence "usually" take over.
The Kurd politicians are the cause of all this.
