The US and Turkey should team up and support the separation of Iraqi Kurdistan. And the new country should have equal Yazidis representation. The Yazidis faced a genocide by ISIS and have been living in tents for the past 12 yrs with no support from Iraq. That is wrong and needs to change.
The Turks invaded northern Syria only a few short years ago when it looked like the Kurds might gain permanent control and possibly independence in northern Syria
KRG’s core project has been autonomy inside Iraq. They not that concerned with what happens in Syria or Turkey. “The Kurds” aren’t one single political actor. It's bit like thinking that white people in England and Ireland have the same goals.

That's semi-racist. It just is. The KRG haven't shown any interest in controlling any part of Syria or Turkey.

That’s simply pragmatism: Kurds know that NATO countries wouldn’t support having Türkiye give up territory for them, but might do so, if only the Syrian side gains independence. But Türkiye fears that if Kurds are given a “foot in the door”, they would then provide assistance to their “brothers”
