Well we are....sort of. A few airstrikes against isis and some light weapons and stuff like that I believe.
They're the best fighters in that region and they're killing isis left right and centre, but they haven't got the heavy weapons to do the job properly.
They need tanks and armoured personnel carriers and heavy machine guns and sh*t like that and they'd wipe isis out no problem.
They're Muslims but they don't have the religious hatred that others do, they just want to live.
Their women are more emancipated than most in those regions, a large part of their army is made up of women fighters who fight and die alongside the men as equals, and are inspirational.
They rescued the Yazidis who were stuck on that mountain, and are sheltering them and many Christians too.
So why aren't we (the western world) helping them to do what we don't want to risk our own soldiers doing?
Because the Kurds as a people are spread out in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran and the western politicians are frightened of upsetting those countries by arming them, because once they defeat Isis they will want their own state.
Well guess what, after all the suffering they've been through at the hands of Saddam Hussein and the like they f*cking deserve their own state.
We should be arming them to the teeth because apart from anything else one thing is for sure, if they had their own state they would be far more stable and reliable allies than the rest of that sh*thole of a region.
