Kurdish independence? I fear Kurdish liquidation. And the Kurds, in general, are some of the nicest people on the planet.
The lottery of birth. I feel sick.
Maybe. I hope you're wrong though you are very right to worry. They don't have many friends. I do notice that the Kurds have been keeping the jihadis out of Kurdish areas even in Syria. As Syria and Iraq are shaken this makes an independent Kurdistan even more logical and necessary.
Incorporating parts of Syria has become possible and necessary in a way that it wasn't until now.
Since the Turks, the Saudis, and State seem to be cooperating in this little adventure, and certainly the Turks have no interest in any such thing. So they may get squeezed. But I don't think there is any going back for them anymore. They only went through the motions with "united" Iraq up until now. I don't think they will even bother to pretend much longer.
Mind you, I'm just thinking out loud. I obviously don't know that I'm right.
Turkey, a NATO member (why ?), won’t allow a Kurdish state.
