Kurdish nationalists from Iraq hate Iraq the most, Kurdish nationalist from Turkey hate Turkey the most etc. Not true, that only says the type of news you follow.

Nah, we need more escalation. Kurds have to burn our flags and wave Israeli flags. The more the better, hopefully Kurds start beating some Arabs and Turkmens in Iraq, it has to be on video. These non-Kurds should not have to live under a ethno based state that is racist to the core.

never understood why Afghans support Kurds that much

Such a site could be built inside a military base zone, not easy for terrorists to overrun a military base, they didn't even manage to do this in 2014. The major airbases, some besieged by IS with no US forces present such as COB Speicher (Tikrit airbase) remained free from IS. That's not the...

Infact, given that this is a long-term project I wouldn't worry about insurgents as they will be dealt with in due time. The threat will come from Israel once again, before having nuclear reactors there will be need for proper air defense, fighter jets and other security improvements.

How many years before a deal is signed with a country, how long before agreements are reached, planning is done, funds are released and construction starts. How long before it is operational? No less than 5 years, rather say 10 years, this is long-term planning. You don't seem to get it.

So it's unclear, Turkey also closed airspace to Iraqi Kurdistan?

Abadi: PM Al-Abadi receives call from President @HassanRouhani offering Iran’s full support to Iraqi government in maintaining unity of Iraq

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kurdish-president-partnership-iraq-50057107 Iraq's central government in Baghdad ordered the country's Kurdish region to hand over all border crossings and airports to federal government control late Sunday night, hours before the region is set to...

Iraqi Turkmens don't support the referendum neither Barzanistan. Iraqi Turkmen front (political party) and some other political figures are Erdogan loyalists who support Barzani above Baghdad, whom are willing to put a Kurdish flag on their head to appease Turkey's government which has been...

They could've established with the gains they made but they kept wanting more, now all neighbors are hostile and they will lose everything.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Iraq asked on Saturday for assistance in building a nuclear power reactor for peaceful purposes, more than 25 years after the destruction of the reactors it had under Saddam Hussein. “Iraq calls for assistance from our kindred nuclear countries to build a nuclear reactor...

iraq chief staf arrive ankara to discus refrendum

Well of course this is true, Abadi is not a strongleader/strongman like Saddam, not as capable of rallying the masses. Others point this out also, such a video shows the same. Although soft policy is often better in politics, the hard use of language Saddam applied would suit better in a...

A clear enemy will do us a massive favor, you can clearly see how nationalist stance has been growing in Baghdad. Conflict with Barzanistan would only aid this which is why I support it as well. @Saif al-Arab I think it would have a massive psychological boost with nationalists especially...

Foreigners always make this mistake underestimating that there is national unity in Iraq, this is excluding Kurds whom are foreigners. Sunnis and Shias identify with the same nation, culture and borders. Hence there has been no call for separation in the 2006-2008 civil war, neither in the 2014...

Understandable, except their happiness.. lies in our failure, in our depression. That is true when you take the nationalists of both sides whose identity are made up out of their nation.

Couple thousands (Turkmen units mostly) excluding the recent mobilizations for Hawija operation, I don't think that it exceeds 5K

A medium sized convoy (50+ armored vechiles) PMU deployed in Kerkuk city as part of the PMU leader Mohandis meeting in Kerkuk with other PMU leaders, there was not even resistance by Kurdish checkpoint from not letting them enter. Strange, if it was just a leader visiting there wouldn't be the...

Did I not say this is great development, this open hostility from the KRG is allowing and enabling Baghdad to clean house form foreign Kurds for the first time since 2003. Biji Referendum, biji kak Massoud https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170918-iraq-parliament-works-to-dismiss-president/...
