It's not needs, there are always alternatives even for Iraq. It's policy making and possibilities.
Europe doesn't have the reach/power of the US indeed. They're very pro Kurdish, their BS has to be kept at distance.
Yes, it's not good, we don't need it and standing up to Europe in this regard is not hard as they have no proper reach to strike back on the required scale. The US is the dangerous one, they can be outplayed if countries that neighbor the 'Kurdistan' concept work together. Iraq and Turkey have...
