For Mr Trump alliances are simply transactional business agreements will be evaluated after a brutal and short-term cost-benefit analysis. What is the US and what you get In Return ?

In seemingly write off the Kurds , he suggests, allows US to easily find other allies in the region. Really? He has the recent history been forgotten? The Kurds were the only ones, the capable and reliable local allies in the Fight against.
