Yes, specifically Sweden is harbouring dissident refugees from Turkey, and Erdogan considers them terrorists (because they won’t vote for him)

Also Somaliland.

But the powers that be can't recognize breakaway states because it sets a precedence for their hegemony breaking up.

No U.S. president has supported the creation of an independent Kurdish state. Iran doesn't want it, Iraq doesn't want it, Syria doesn't want it, Turkey doesn't want it.

Europe doesn't support it either.

Trump is a lot of things but he's not single-handedly responsible for torpedoing Kurdish statehood.

This is reddit." Trump bad"

Edit: it's especially bad because there's no shortage of actual things he did people can attack him for instead of making up stuff and blaming him for every single thing that's ever happened.

There are still lots of footages on the internet showing YPG destroying Turkish tanks and helicopters using American weapons. That was Obama’s legacy until that orange head who openly admired Putin and Xi found more in common with Turkey’s Erdo who essentially became a dictator after the coup
