Iran Guard claims missile attack on separatist Kurds in Iraq 9 Sept.`18 – Iran's Revolutionary Guard on Sunday claimed responsibility for a missile attack targeting an Iraqi base of a Kurdish separatist group.
I don't see it this way ... because that it has to do with the military / industrial complex, which is again and again as a gray eminence suspected of all possible conspiracy nonsense ... I will deny. I see a lot more of Trump's real politic, which was obviously borne out of the well known anger with Turkey and Erdogan. Specifically, it is about the Kurdish YPG rebels in northern Syria and these are and were together with the Kurds of the Peshmerga in northern Iraq, the only truly significant force, which actually and really fought against the IS from the beginning on and is still fighting today. The YPG has a special role in the Syria conflict. On the one hand, they support the rebellion against Assad as far as possible in order to achieve a certain autonomy (not independence!) In Syria. However, on the other hand, the YPG does not work in any way with the Free Syria Army and other rebel groups ... on the contrary! The YPG fights here as well as against these groups, as well as against the IS too often with the remaining forces of Assad in the area together. Therefore, the YPG rebels enjoy a more positive view from the Assad regime, the Russians and the Iranians. In the US, they see the YPG as a valuable ally in the fight against the IS and therefore support the YPG from the beginning and even under Obama. In short: Neither Russians, nor Americans see the YPG as "enemies" ... a strange circumstance in the Mess House Syria! But who regards the YPG as enemies and even as terrorists, that is Turkey and Erdogan and that he is not only actively using his military against them here, but has also threatened the US that if they interfere on the side of the YPG, the US will get an "Ottoman slap", it actually went through all the media. That ... and then the quarrel over the imprisoned American preacher / priest, etc. ... and Trump's reaction is clear: "The weird sultan in Ankara says he has thicker balls than me = Trump? We will see!"
I'm sure that the Kurds will put the address on the ATF background check forms before being given the weapons.
