Kurds defeated ISIS and the world owes them

Claim

Kurdish forces (YPG/SDF in Syria, Peshmerga in Iraq) were the ground force that broke ISIS at Kobani, Raqqa, and Mosul -- suffering 11,000+ casualties. The US and the West relied on Kurdish blood, then abandoned them to Turkish invasion.

Normative Conclusion

The anti-ISIS alliance debt to Kurds must be honored
