Many countries have an inventory large enough to pummel a city to ruble. Thousands of civilians dead and so much of the city destroyed that most can not return is not a liberation it's conquest.

They need to keep going to Koy Sanjak and Dokan then all the main roads between Erbil and Sulimaniyah will be closed to the KRG. The only other routes are the arduous mountain roads.

Well if Iraqi forces take Koy Sanjaq, splitting the road between Erbil and Sulimaniyah, then the KRG will very likely be destroyed.

Lol did they give up at the end? They tried to rip it and failed, then burn it and failed, then the video abruptly ends. FAIL.

I'd like to see conscription into the army abolished. The age where large land forces were needed are over, a relic of the cold war era and usually are nothing more than a d*ck measuring contest. In it's place every able bodied adult would register with provincial/regional militias possibly...

Looks like Abadi is attempting to turn some Kurds against the KRG by paying them their wages

It's not through lack of trying, unfortunately western media's reporting on Turkey has been influenced greatly by anti-turkish elements. They create narratives which are then regurgitated by the drones who call themselves Turkey experts and a skewed picture of Turkey is the outcome.

Trim back the diyanet.

The bases and outposts at Bamarni airport and Dersinki and other places in Duhok predate the KRG. Not sure when Turkey started using Bashiqa though.

Berlin, Kurdistan. come on Europe show your human rights credentials and give them their land :D Or is it like Israel, support their own country, so long as it's somewhere else.

Your giving them far too much credit to act united. Historically, they've been too clannish and divided in the past what makes you think it's different now. That map always amuses me. Seems like wherever a kurd has settled is claimed as historic Kurdistan. A hundred years ago when the...

I think if Kurdistan became an independent country then the rules will change and Kurdistani interference in Turkey, in particular support towards the PKK would be a direct act of war. It's no longer about pseudo state actors but a state directly funding/arming a terrorist group. Stopping the...

The US needs to get a grip on these trouble makers. It makes them look bad when violent protesters are allowed so close to visiting heads of states.

There are pros and cons for an independent Kurdistan in Iraq which is why I would rather Turkey take a more flexible position. Priority right now is Qandil mountains. Winter is coming :P. We should be flexible enough to deal with any changes on the ground. Whoever backs us on Qandil will gain...

I did say we could support Kurdish independence so long as they pull out of Kirkuk and the Turkmen towns down to Kifri. Could doesn't mean should. It's an option depending how things pan out. I think the Turkmens in Iraq would welcome their rights being a key demand for a change. Point is...

Turkey isn't the only one throwing Barzani and the KDP scraps which kind of dilutes any influence Turkey might have. I'm sure Barzani knows Turkey wont sacrifice the energy supplies and trade that have been built up over the past decade, and if they do it wont be through design but because...

This doesn't prove his religious affiliations. Whether Barzani is a jew or not I don't know but this isn't proof. This only proves that Barzani has had connections with Mossad that go back over 45 years. Which is well known. Mustafa Barzani and the KDP was also nurtured by the Soviet Union...

Autonomy wont solve anything. For a start how would the boundaries of an autonomous Kurdistan in Turkey be delineated? There's no historic Kurdistan to draw upon. There are millions on non Kurds in eastern Turkey too who won't accept it. Then who will fund its budget? The region is too poor...
