I am not saying to rely on Barzani to secure the borders, but on the Iraqi side we need depth of defence and cutting of PKK movement and supply lines. This is the job of Barzani, as a village guard we pay. Otherwise we would have to keep TSK there forever, which is costly and could cause...
That territory outside our borders needs to be held by a force that will not cost us much that will prevent the return of the PKK. The economy cannot afford the status quo - our military spending has had to triple in 2015 onwards and increases more than our GDP does while we have an economic...
There is no alternative to Barzani, the Talabani is pro-PKK and Iran, the Iranian controlled Hashd collaborates and has the PKK group from Sinjar in it and it is the size of the Iraqi army. The Hashd has groups responsible for targeting soldiers from TR. The Iraqi government is Iran.

SNA caught torturing a Qais tribe member, a large tribe in Syria.

Also Israelis lost 1000 in one attack, of course they would react like this. Hamas is much...
Seems you forgot what it looks like when a terrorist organization is in a city, the trench wars that happened to us with the PKK. Or maybe you support the terrorist organization. During this time a half a million were told to leave the cities so casualties could be minimised. Israel is doing the...
They don't really have much of a say in Gaza because they are ruled by a terrorist organization that just committed an atrocity. There is very little sympathy for them even from the usual channels.
Or should Erdogan ask people in Syria before he bombs the YPG ?
