No one seems to be able to articulate the problem with "surrendering" the Middle East to regional powers other than it is unthinkable. Very reminiscent of the bipartisan rhetoric that kept the US in Vietnam
This isn't hard – not supporting our longtime allies the Kurds means we are surrendering the Middle East to Iran, Russia and Turkey and it tells our friends that an alliance with America means nothing. Be nice with nice guys and tough with tough guys not the other way around.

Although I tend to agree, calling Russia a “regional power” is a bit of a stretch, no?
