Who would have guessed?

its obviously not about race considering the guy IS A KURD HIMSELF

It seems that baathist sentiments still reign even after hussein's execution.

its weird

its almost like hes a nationalist

*obvious gasps

nationalism will always exist in that reigion

A kurd is not always so ethnically.

It is a branch of islam as well.

Parties: Patriotic Union of Kurdistan · Kurdistan Democratic Party · Iraqi Communist Party

The ottomans had a hell of a time with them during WW1.

appearently iraqs current president is a former communist

he use to be prime minister of kurdistan

hes also just pushing the kurds back into the autonomous zone

This applies so globally.

nothing else really

Yhea, iraq wants to achieve stability before invading kurdistan.

iraq doesnt want to invade it it wants to assimulate it

if not the west will intervine

The US will never intervene in iraq of syria.

if i were president i would

They tried it more than once, and failed miserably.

and make kurdistan indpendent

and leave the gov in power

it would be best for both parties

they are a drain on eachother

what if kurdistan was independent

and recognized

That's like saying turkey would not intervene and invade them automatically.

oh turkeys nuked

if they try

Turkey would fire nukes back.

because in this timeline kurdistan has nukes

and turkey dont

Then you are forcing things to fit your reality.

im saying we give reigions vunerable to invasion nukes

so they wont invade

free kurdista

and give them nukes
