It’ll be a wild-west-style shootout when they do. Kurds have been participating in the committees and so forth discussing post-Assad Syria, but discussion doesn’t really work when the shells are coming in.
Kurdistan certainly should be an independent state, made up of Kurdish areas in four countries (Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran).
Agreed on Kurdistan, they need to be united.
The problem is they are sitting on a lot of oil that they should be drilling for and selling.
Iraq just forced Exxon Mobil to put its new direct leases with the Kurds on hold.
