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

2019-07-21 23:30:55 UTC  

...These are the homelands, mate.

2019-07-21 23:31:07 UTC  

Assyrians and Kurds have lived with eachother for a long time

2019-07-21 23:31:13 UTC  

So they're all mixed together?

2019-07-21 23:31:22 UTC  

Depends on how you see it

2019-07-21 23:31:29 UTC  

There are arabs there because of the arabization started by Saddam

2019-07-21 23:31:37 UTC  

So they arent really native to the northern part

2019-07-21 23:31:46 UTC  

Kirkuk is filled with Turkmen and Kurds

2019-07-21 23:31:49 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:32:05 UTC  

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

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

2019-07-21 23:32:37 UTC  

I don't know what you want from people

2019-07-21 23:32:44 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:32:45 UTC  

Build a wall and kick people out

2019-07-21 23:33:07 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:33:19 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:33:29 UTC  

Get bigger guns

2019-07-21 23:33:49 UTC  

They cant lol

2019-07-21 23:33:56 UTC  

welp, rip

2019-07-21 23:33:57 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:34:20 UTC  

Cant really do anything when you have lack of recourses

2019-07-21 23:34:35 UTC  

Outnumbered and outgunned

2019-07-21 23:34:36 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:34:40 UTC  

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

2019-07-21 23:34:47 UTC  

Yes. And its being harvested.

2019-07-21 23:34:54 UTC  

And being used to get money and shi

2019-07-21 23:34:59 UTC  

Mostly owned by the state

2019-07-21 23:35:06 UTC  

To fuel military and police

2019-07-21 23:35:11 UTC  

Sounds good

2019-07-21 23:35:13 UTC

2019-07-21 23:35:21 UTC

2019-07-21 23:35:40 UTC  

Who's money <:ohsargon:451135765368274954>

2019-07-21 23:35:43 UTC  

Well it is working. Just compare Kurdistan now with 30 years ago

2019-07-21 23:35:56 UTC  

Sulaymaniyya, and Hewler have changed dramatically.

2019-07-21 23:36:45 UTC  

I'm going back after education and some work over here.

2019-07-21 23:37:21 UTC  

About the ethnic homelands. Most of the Assyrians, Syriacs, and Turkmen who live in kurdish iraq all speak Sorani. And we're all rather similar in culture. @Fitzydog

2019-07-21 23:37:31 UTC  

There's so many business oportunites you could take advantage of

2019-07-21 23:38:01 UTC  

Open a gun range/sporting goods store!

2019-07-21 23:38:03 UTC
