Awful defending from Team USA and poor showing from Matt Turner.

When Kurds come up in the media you'll get invariably the following. Kurds are cowardly and weak, yet also brave and fierce. They are opportunistic but easily manipulated. They are idle and obedient, but also savage and violent. Schrodinger's Kurd.

So more war? Trump said it best himself years ago.

I can't say I'm surprised considering who Self is. I sent similar letters to every rep in Texas regarding the Kurdish situation in Rojava /Syria. I'm used to canned responses but they at least are on topic. I'm assuming his office is sending this same apologetic for any one contact them.
Screen shot of a canned response from Keith Self's office involving apologetics for ICE. The original letter was about foreign policy concerns about Kurds in Syria.

Syrian government aligned militias are continuing to violate their own ceasefire with more attacks on Kurdish positions. However, as they run out of Arab tribes to turn, the gains they are getting are met with more and more resistance and casualties. First video h/t to Judy Berdexwan on Twitter

A game between two clubs in Turkey - Amedspor (in black) and Sivasspor - is interrupted by fans. Turkish media has incited Turk-Kurd tensions due events in Syria. Amedspor being a club from a predominantly Kurdish area and at the top of the table is bearing the brunt from chauvinist hooligans.

In 2014, Kobane gripped the world's attention when the Islamic State attacked it; now with al-Sharaa's thugs doing the same, it's merely noise and an inconvenience to even acknowledge. No water or electricity in the midst of winter. Five children have already died from hypothermia.

Trump, during his inane rambling today, made mention of Kurds “I like the Kurds, but… the Kurds were paid tremendous amounts of money, were given oil and other things,” POTUS says. “They were doing it for themselves more so than they were doing it for us… We are trying to protect the Kurds.”

What happened with the Kurds in Syria is disappointing but unfortunately not surprising. There's been a preference for centralized governments in both Iraq and Syria, particularly from the people that made up both Trump administrations and the lobbyists (foreign and domestic) who've had access.

It's really disappointing one of the more visible Kurdish background politicians in the diaspora is this craven.

Iraq fails to hold its politicians accountable. Nouri al-Maliki had a major role in creating the tensions that the Islamic State exploited. He resigned in disgrace and with pressure from both Iran and US after IS advances. 11 years later, it's very possible he will be prime minister again.
