That'd be good for the fight against terrorism. Canadian special forces have been training the Kurds for some time now, and have gone into battle against ISIS with them.

"Erdogan was eating cake, the most fantastic cake you've ever seen, just delicious, so, so great... And he explained to me the story of the Turkeys and I never realized that things were so difficult and complicated".

I think you misunderstood my post or you weren't aware that recently before today Trump has decided to to arm the Kurds, which has really pissed off Erdogan.

My contention is he will change his mind because the man is all over the place.

No, I didn't know that. For some reason I thought Trump was against arming the Kurds and you were speculating he might change his mind. Personally, I think those people should be helped, if for no other reason than, "The enemy of my enemy..."
