Do you think the Kurds should, or should not be armed?

I do.
And they were being armed... Just not directly, since American law precluded such. (France, Britain Germany and Canada have also been sending arms directly to the Kurds.)

What Flynn vetoed was directly arming them...
I don't know how the current policy is affected by US law.... Perhaps because Trump is Republican Congress is willing to ignore the law?

The point I was making is that the notion that somehow the US was not arming the Kurds is not supported by fact. (Only "directly arming")
I also think its important to understand how corrupt Trumps administration is that his NSA, a paid lobbyist for Turkey, vetoed the policy of directly arming the Kurds.
I understand from a source close to him that Mike Flynn "Is a real good guy".

And then there is Trump.

is not just Trump. Most of his cabinet and team are also incompetent.

Pence was head of his transition team. Michael Flynn told the transition team that he was being investigated for illegal payments to him by the Turkish government.
And yet, Pence accepted Flynn as NSA.

For alll their incompetence, they defeated Hillary and all her money.

Oh, and the media.

And you know what? I like that. I don't like Trump. But, he won.

Get over it already
