Gonna ask this set since it seems no one else has:

What is to be done re: "the Kurdish Question"? Do we support Kurdish Nationalist independence in Northern Iraq / Syria? When we were supporting them fighting ISIS under Hussein, I heard rumors trickling back from the front that our pilots were frustrated because they were on a short leash. It seemed our military wanted to support the Kurds and kick ISIS ass, but the Clowns may have had other ideas. The Iraqi army we propped back up after Saddam was worthless but they got most of the support, and now half that shit is in Iranian hands thanks to Iranian-supported Iraqi militias, including at least a couple of shiny new Abrams tanks from what I understand. Did the Clowns deliberately give our gear to the Iranians?

What the Hell is going on with Turkey? Is Erdogan/AKP Islamist / ISIS supporter(s)? Right now he's talking about making deals with the Russians for military gear (after he shot down one of their jets etc?) and we're pulling back our deal re: the F-35 because of it. Putin would LOVE to flip them because of the Bosporous obviously and thus access for his Black Sea Fleet to the Med, but WTF? Did the Clowns use Erdogan as a go-between to manage the Daeshbags vs. Assad, and then Erdogan decided to take their money, then use the Daeshbags vs. the Kurds instead (and to smuggle looted antiquities, oil and sex slaves back to Turkey) and cut deals with Assad? What the Hell are we going to do about our nukes in Incirlik if Erdogan goes rogue on NATO?

FYI I'm pretty sure the Kurds are ready to back us hard if Erdogan goes rogue, as long as we back them in return, of course. Give them a corridor from the Med to the Iranian border so they have access to the sea, build a bunch of military bases along the way to protect them, and we'll have a friend forever in that region (and regular customers for American military hardware, no doubt). They have been through Hell for decades thanks to Clown betrayal, but they are a proud and unbroken people, and they share many of our values. We need allies we can trust in that region, and if we forge a new bond with them I think we can make a real difference together.

Shit is a giant mess down there. Who can we trust to work with us to clean it up?
