Trump defends abandoning the Kurds by saying they didn't help the US in WWII

President Donald Trump on Wednesday defended his decision to abandon the Kurds to a Turkish military incursion in Syria by saying they didn't help the US during World War II.

This came amid reports that Turkish ground troops were crossing the border into Syria after air strikes that began earlier in the day.

"They didn't help us in the Second World War; they didn't help us with Normandy," Trump said of the Kurds. He added, "With all of that being said, we like the Kurds."

Very sensible response to Iran's recent provocations.

The U.S. doesn't have allies. They only have interests (This principle held true under previous administrations, also. I don't like it, either).
