Smoll brain

I'm speaking from a middle eastern perspective. Not a swedish one. @Fitzydog

I'm speaking from a human perspective

When cultures collide, violence happens

Then you'd understand throwing them out dosent change anything.

As they live door to door with Kurds, Assyrians, Syriacs, etc.

Where?

The superior culture must prevail and all the backward cultures must assimilate if they wish to voluntarily join their superior society (presuming ofc the locals are totally okay with it)

Why don't all of these people go back to their ethnic homelands?

Here you have a small little area with Kurds, Arabs, Turkmen, Assyrians, Syriacs, etc.

...These are the homelands, mate.

Assyrians and Kurds have lived with eachother for a long time

So they're all mixed together?

Depends on how you see it

There are arabs there because of the arabization started by Saddam

So they arent really native to the northern part

Kirkuk is filled with Turkmen and Kurds

Oh, so you DO have an ethnic homeland. It's just not well maintained

Cant really maintain anything when you get purged <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

<:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

The Assyrians lived here for thousands of years. The Kurds have been there for as long as people have prayed to fire.

I don't know what you want from people

Turkmen are new-ish tho. But they all speak Kurdish usually kek

Build a wall and kick people out

Invite Kurds home, get taxes, buy military equipment and defend yourselves

...We tried and then the Turks, Iranis, Syrians, and Iraqis got mad.

Get bigger guns

They cant lol

welp, rip

We had a vague little period in 1946 but then the Iranis killed people because lack of tools

Cant really do anything when you have lack of recourses

Outnumbered and outgunned

There's a bunch of oil up there, no?

Iraqi Kurdistan could easily take over Iraq. But then the Turks, Syrians, and Iranis would come in

Yes. And its being harvested.

And being used to get money and shi

Mostly owned by the state

To fuel military and police

Sounds good
