Well there's a few reasons for them to be there. YPG and PKK share the same leadership, and Rojava presents a safe harbor for PKK fighters in a way that northern Iraqi Kurdistan doesn't. There's also a weird current of Ottoman revanchism in Turkish politics, and they consider the whole region of Rojava around Qamishli and Raqqa to be rightful Turkish soil.



Maybe they can't annex it all outright, but if they can get their stooges in there to run the show in autonomous zones without government rule - then what's the difference?

I have to admit, I can't point out Rojava because the cartographer used the worst possible color of orange with the names in black

MBS reminds me of those especially disastrous monarchs who, unlike the vast majority of their family, weren't content to just sit back and enjoy being stupendously wealthy in private but instead chose to busy themselves showing everyone how great they were, making everything markedly worse in the process.

In the old days, they'd at least usually have the decency to get themselves killed in an ill-considered cavalry charge, but alas, MBS will likely not get that chance and will spend the next several decades pissing away his family's wealth.

I thought this is why the Saudi Air Force exists :confused:

Iran would be threatening the Iraqi bourgeois and middle classes by removing the US presence. It wouldn't make it through parliament because the moneyed interests would be hounding the MPs.

The Iranian regime has been overestimated by the western press and the neoconservatives. The country is in economic shambles and their various proxies across the middle east like Hezbollah are basically just an anti-Zionist street gang at this point.

His operation is fueled by imperialist blood money, and he's training up an entire generation of western journalists to do the same exact kind of "remote investigations" he made his bank on. He's one of the most vile and corrosive influences on the western mediascape, and the fact he hasn't been perma'd yet is an indictment of the forums.

this requires repeating, as if you think the wonks of today are awful, wait until you have to suffer through the remote viewing practices of the next generation's new graduates

wait until it's office policy at Foreign Policy to cast literal oracle bones for the day's headlines
