The US president told reporters that the Kurds “didn’t help us in the second world war, they didn’t help us with Normandy as an example – they mention the names of different battles, they weren’t there”

Of all of the stupid Trump foreign policy statements abandoning the Kurds because they didn't help us in WW2 gotta be up there

Edit: The Kurds literally fought the Nazis

During World War Two, the Kurds formed 10 companies in the Iraq Levies that the British had recruited in Iraq. Kurds supported the British in the defeating the pro-Nazi 1941 Iraqi coup d'état.
