One of the central complaints of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and subsequent presidency is that America’s NATO allies (Turkey included) don’t pay their share for the protection they enjoy from the United States military. Yet in the Middle East, there is a group that has paid its share in blood — blood that they shed to minimize our losses while defeating our enemies — and Trump threw them away.

It is often said that the Kurds are pro-American, but that is an understatement. To say that the Kurds love America is still an understatement. The Bible says “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13 KJV), and in this case that love is multiplied more than a thousand fold.
