How can they still trust the usa when Kurds was backstabbed in Syria?

That feels particularly gross after we previously abandoned them

If it's in the news, how is it supposed to work exactly?

Are there secrets or something that are top?

I don't think the Kurds are too interested in taking over Iran. As far as I know they just want to be independent.

That has to be harder after they armed and then betrayed the Kurds in Syria, right?

The Kurds right now

Marty McFly hey I've seen this one before.jpg

The playbook hasn't changed at all since WWII :/.

Are the Kurds masochists to trust a betrayer again like this?

There are three possible outcomes:

1. Best: The Islamic Republic survives this war.
2. Bad: Iran is broken up along ethnic lines.
3. Worst: The racist and violent puppet monarchy is restored.

I want the IR to survive but if the Persian chauvinist monarchy comes to power then it will be hell for minorities in Iran and it is better off broken apart.

It looks bleak at times, specially after what the West did to Gaza, but Iran isn't Gaza and if Afghanistan survived a regime change so should Iran.

Like in Iraq?

Kurds have to still be thinking of Bush's famous quote, "Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."

Perfect! It's not like the CIA is a terrorist org that has caused tens of millions of deaths doing this over the last century.

Why didn't they do this with the protesters before the IRGC had a chance to murder tens of thousands?

I hope they remain prepared for an eventuality where the US also suddenly pulls out and leaves them on their own. I know they're different Kurdish forces, but hopefully they're aware of the history there.
