Fox’s Pete Hegseth on Iran: We Can Still ‘Work With Allies...Like the Kurds’

Defending President Donald Trump’s region-shaking decision to order an airstrike and kill top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, Fox News host Pete Hegseth on Friday said America could rely on other Middle East allies if Iraq voted to expel the U.S. military from their country. “If you are not satisfied yet, if you won’t follow through and defend yourself yet, then at what point do we decide it is not in our interest?” Hegseth exclaimed. “We can do some [military action] from further away and work with allies that are still there like the Kurds.”

Unfortunately for Hegseth, relying on the Kurds as an American ally may be a bit more difficult following Trump’s decision in October to essentially abandon the Kurdish in Northern Syria, paving the way for Turkish forces to invade.

1. The Kurds may just ally

with the Iraqi militias. Certainly the Kurds in Syria aren't going to ally with us.

2. That's why Fox is so dangerous. They never report facts. Don managed to kill lots of the Kurds.

I doubt they're chomping at the bit to help us do anything.

3. What a novel idea, Pete. Lets go start some serious shit and then ask people we betrayed to

finish it for us. Absolutely brilliant!
