The president of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) of Iraq, Nechirvan Barzani, traveled to Tehran on Monday to meet with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who warned him to prevent “anti-revolutionary elements” from getting too friendly with the autonomous Kurdish region.

The KRG maintains friendly relations with the United States and cooperates militarily with Washington, particularly against the Islamic State (Isis) jihadist organization. The KRG’s Peshmerga forces were pivotal in the ouster of the ISIS “caliphate” from its regional stronghold in northern Mosul, and the KRG’s capital, Erbil, took in a large number of persecuted Christians fleeing the Islamic State genocide.

Kurds are the largest ethnic group in the world without their own state. Wonder if any of the campus nazis will ever march for them. Doubt it. No Jews involved as adversaries

One Senator Biden advocated their own state in Iraq-smart(no $hit). Three other nations were scared of that idea. We shoda thrown gas on the fire.

The Kurds don’t need much persuading. They want their own state, but who’s going to help them fight Iran? FJB/LGB? So they’re in the jail cell with Bubba, the screws are elsewhere, and they have to either kill Bubba themselves, or put out.
