The Kurds are surging in Iraq again. Kurdish fighters are successfully attacking both the Islamic state and other terrorist factions in Syria and Iraq; as we saw with the Kurdish capture of many Iraqi villages two days ago. The recent Kurdish push in Iraq occurs in spite of Turkey’s President Erdogan and his counterproductive air campaign against Kurdish fighters. To make matters worse Kurdish hopes for autonomy rights in Iranian held areas will more or less cease to be an obtainable reality, if Tehran builds a viable nuclear weapon. Thusly faced with this grim nuclear reality the nation of Kurdistan is doing its best to utilize anything it can to strip Tehran of power and land. One would think these negatives would have the Kurds down and out but Kurdish will, national unity, and morale it is as strong as ever, it is just plain amazing. The spirit of the Kurdish people is compelling to say the least.
