That has to be harder after they armed and then betrayed the Kurds in Syria, right?

    I would think so, but ze_squirrel thinks they’re just mercenaries.

    the fact is that in Syria, Iraq and now Iran Kurds have played the role of willing mercenaries for the CIA and Mossad. Scum like this are not actually motivated by any desire for national sovereignty, because they know that does not come from the CIA-Mossad. They're doing it purely for money, greed and lust for chaos. The only response they deserve is utter annihilation. Destroy this cancerous Zionist enclave wherever it exists, from Syria to Iraq and Iran. Eliminate it.

    to be clear this is the various Kurdish militant groups that are propped up by CIA-Mossad cash and intel. They're the equivalent of narco-terrorists. They just want to capture oil fields and sell it alongside the bounties they gather from Tel Aviv and Washington. Wipe them out

    how much money did these Kurdish narco-terrorists larping as epic anarchists steal from Syrians when handed oil-fields by the CIA/Mossad? How many billions did these mercenary scum stash away in Cayman island bank accounts? There is nothing here but mercenary greed and bloodlust

    Are the Kurds masochists to trust a betrayer again like this?

    There are three possible outcomes:

    1. Best: The Islamic Republic survives this war.
    2. Bad: Iran is broken up along ethnic lines.
    3. Worst: The racist and violent puppet monarchy is restored.

    I want the IR to survive but if the Persian chauvinist monarchy comes to power then it will be hell for minorities in Iran and it is better off broken apart.

    It looks bleak at times, specially after what the West did to Gaza, but Iran isn't Gaza and if Afghanistan survived a regime change so should Iran.

    If it's in the news, how is it supposed to work exactly?

    Are there secrets or something that are top?

    I mean, this was kind of a given. Top secret or not, in the news or not, the US arming the Kurds was absolutely going to happen. People have been predicting this since the whole thing kicked off. We know Israel and the US want an uprising, and want to pick the “winner”.

    I don't think the Kurds are too interested in taking over Iran. As far as I know they just want to be independent.

    Like in Iraq?

    Kurds have to still be thinking of Bush's famous quote, "Fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again."

    Perfect! It's not like the CIA is a terrorist org that has caused tens of millions of deaths doing this over the last century.

    Why didn't they do this with the protesters before the IRGC had a chance to murder tens of thousands?

    I hope they remain prepared for an eventuality where the US also suddenly pulls out and leaves them on their own. I know they're different Kurdish forces, but hopefully they're aware of the history there.
