And how to deal with the actions of Erdogan the Islamist dictator of Turkey.
Barzani’s a pimp. He could never have taken out Sonny
I knew it was Bardzini.
Who’s on First?
Abadi, Barzani, Talabani and Fuad Hisen are all Kurdish leaders in Iraq.
Abadi is the top leader in Baghdad.
Barzani is the top leader in the KRG (Kurdish Regional Government)
Talabani is to top leader of the PUK in the Kurdish Region. (2nd party)
Fuad Hisen is the head of the KDP (Kurdish Democratic Party) (same party as Barzani)
Barzani and Talabani are both from old leadership families in Iraq. They are pretty tribal as to how they are governed. They have long been reliable allies of the US. (except recently Abadi not so much)
“The region is in process of finding how to deal with each other after ISIS is gone.”
How true.
Everybody is always changing sides over there, so any big change sets off all kinds of jockeying. The loss of the Kirkuk oil fields from the KRG, is a game changer.
A regime change in Iran would be even a bigger deal, in favor of the US and our allies.
I hope Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi got rid of whichever one of his people set this thing up: “Remember....whoever comes to you with this Barzani meeting, he’s the traitor,,,,don’t forget that!”
Tessio was always smarter.
