Piggy Considering Backing Kurdish Rebels In Iran

President Trump is open to backing militant groups who are willing to fight the Iranian government, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. Among the groups Trump is considering supporting are Kurdish forces based in Iraq, who have thousands of troops along the Iran-Iraq border, an idea first raised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a White House meeting with the president, according to a US official speaking to Axios.

Kurdish groups from Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran have long sought independence. This appears to be happening in Iran. This means that a sectarian civil war is brewing in Iran that could spread to the other 4 countries.

There is also another separatist group in Iran the Balochs, which extend into Pakistan. If that movement joins the burgeoning sectarian conflict this could expand to nuclear armed Pakistan (who is at war with Afghanistan).

We are on the brink of a regional sectarian conflict that could kill 10s or 100s of thousands and displace millions.

Thanks magat scum.

The UK's ITV News reported on Tuesday that "since last year, weapons have been smuggled into Western Iran to arm thousands of Kurdish volunteers. They are expected to begin a ground operation within days." The outlet cited Kurdish sources who said the US and Israel have been asked to provide air support when the operations begin.

Congrats magat scum, you got what you voted for.

The same Kurds that Trump abandoned because they didn't help us in WWII.

Now Trump wants their help.

How long until we abandon them again.

Nashville is home to the world's largest population of Kurds outside the ME.

I met my first Kurd, Zabari, a Kurd who fled after the '90 Gulf War. Great guy. Friendly, empathetic, knowledgeable. We talked over the years about Saddam and eventually teamed up to raise money to drill wells in Kurdistan, where many had to walk miles to get water. He was glad I was a white guy who knew about the Kurds, Saddam's butchery, etc

He opened a restaurant and worked sunup to close at 10. Gyros and other Middle Eastern food.

In 2003, I was surprised when he told me that over the past 20 years he'd also managed to earn a Masters Degree in International Affairs, and was moving to Mosul to work as a contractor for the the U.S. He is now a multimillionaire businessman there. It couldn't have happened to a better guy.

The Kurds I know here are are wonderful people who've built lives and have assimilated very well.
