“One request that I have of the Peshmerga is that as you take control of the vehicles today, treat them like your own vehicles because this is just the beginning.”–Colonel Todd Burroughs, Deputy Director of U.S. Military Advisor Group-North (MAG-North), 08SEP2021

On 08SEP2021, at Erbil, the U.S. military ‘divested’ yet another round of brand new ground vehicles to the Kurdish Peshmerga.

This included front-end loaders, trucks made by Navistar-International, tankers made by German owned Freightliner, and of course, AM General‘s uparmored HMMWV.

The Peshmerga is considered by the U.S. government to be an Iraqi government militia staffed by Kurds. NATO Turkey considers Iraqi Kurds to be largely Kurdistan Workers Party (aka PKK), and that the Syrian Kurds (People’s Protection Units, aka YPG) are simply the Syrian branch of PKK. This is troublesome for NATO, because ever since 1997 the U.S. Department of State itself considers the PKK to be a terrorist organization. This pro-Turkey news outlet video insinuates that the NATO United States support of Iraqi Kurds (Peshmerga) and Syrian YPG is being used against NATO Turkish forces:
But wait there’s more!

But wait there’s more!

On 06SEP2021, also on Al Asad Air Base, 22 vehicles and 10 pallets of ammunition were given free of charge (U.S. taxpayer expense) to Iraqi forces!
Since Joe Biden began his reign as President of the United State, the U.S. Department of Defense has greatly ramped-up military giveaways to Iraqi forces and Kurdish Peshmerga militia. In fact, by the end of this year just the Peshmerga alone are going to get “…12 brigades worth of equipment to the Ministry of Peshmerga’s Regional Guard Brigades. It’s about $166 million worth of equipment that will be issued out” according to Colonel David Williams, a former U.S. Army Director of the Kurdistan Coordination Center.
Just imagine how the U.S. economy could be revved-up if struggling U.S. truckers and construction contractors were given these vehicles!
