Why would the Kurds Help The U.S.

Didn't Trump leave them unprotected in Syria in his first term They used to help our military in Syria and then left them to be Slaughtered by Turkey. He might have burned some bridges.

I've always felt bad for them. But to count on the U.S. at this point in time under this administration I guess they'll do what they gotta do
