The Kurds, along with Arabs, Turks, Persians, Jews, etc., are among the oldest ethnic groups in the Middle East and have a long history. There are currently about 30 million Kurds in the world, mainly living in the Kurdistan region, which includes the eastern and southeastern regions of present-day Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq and northeastern Syria, covering an area of about 400,000 square kilometers. The Kurdistan Autonomous Region is located in northern Iraq.

In war-torn Iraq, the Kurdistan Autonomous Region has the best opportunity for development, and the Kurds, who have been suppressed by Turkey, Iran, and Iraq for many years, have the best opportunity for the Kurdish to establish a state in modern times in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region of northern Iraq.

However, the Kurds, both in Turkey and in Iran, have long been oppressed by a policy of repression.

In Iraq, the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region are also facing difficulties in establishing a state.

Don't look at the current combat effectiveness of the Iraqi government army, before the emergence of the future technology group, it has always been difficult to help the growth of the ****** country and the Kurdish forces.

But if the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region want to become independent, it will inevitably cause a huge backlash throughout the Middle East.

Even Saudi Arabia, which is at odds with Iraq, Iran, Syria and other countries, will not sit idly by and watch the Kurds establish a state.

Not to mention Turkey, a NATO country, once the Kurds establish a state, the first to send troops to kill the Kurds will inevitably be Turkey.

Therefore, even the Kurds, who have absolute autonomy in northern Iraq, have a strong military power. I have never dared to build a country easily.

And for now. There are no forces and no countries. is willing to poke such a super powder keg, even the United States will not weigh such pros and cons.

The 30 million Kurds have been scattered all over the Middle East, and it is extremely difficult to find a way out, both politically and in finding a way out.

With this all-round blockade and repression, few Kurds will be able to get ahead, because there is simply no chance for them to get ahead.

Thanks to a little support from the Iraqi government and the previous US government. Kurdish forces began to have a relatively decisive military force in northern Iraq.

Although the armed forces in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region do not have an air force or navy, they have also created an army with good combat effectiveness based on armed competition with ******.

Unfortunately, however, the Kurds are not a highly united people, compared to the other three ethnic groups in the Middle East. Where the Kurds are more capable is intrigues.

From the time of Saddam Hussein. The Kurds in northern Iraq have many opportunities to grow and thrive.

But every time the opportunity is grasped, when the power is established, almost all of it is destroyed in its own struggle for power and profit.

The current Kurdistan Autonomous Region is much like this, the Kurdish armed forces, which have nearly 300,000 armed forces, are in fact in the hands of three Kurdish people.

What these three most often do, not for the sake of Kurdish statehood, but for the centralization of power, has always been intriguing.

The three forces are responsible for the three provinces of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, which have been the three northern provinces of Iraq controlled by the Kurds since they were planned as the Kurdistan Autonomous Region after the Gulf War.

Each province has nearly three million Kurds, and the regular armed forces have reached the size of 100,000.

The independent economic system also has almost no rights to entangle with the Iraqi government, and even often has some friction and conflicts with the Iraqi government army.

Therefore, although this region has not yet truly established an independent state, in fact, it is not much different from an independent state.

This is the main reason why the Iraqi government has characterized the Kurdish forces as rebels.

And this name has existed since the time of Saddam, when tens of millions of Kurds in Iraq, instigated by Britain and the United States, armed themselves against Saddam's rule.

However, because it did not receive actual support from Britain and the United States, it was quickly suppressed by Saddam's National Guard, and in order to give the Kurds a little pain, Saddam Hussein also used biological and chemical weapons in places where Kurds gathered, causing a large number of Kurdish deaths.

At that time, tens of millions of Kurds frantically poured into Turkey, and finally under the final intervention of various countries and the United Nations, the Kurdistan Autonomous Region was established.

Saddam Hussein was naturally unwilling, and the all-round blockade of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region at that time often had fierce armed conflicts with the Kurdish militia at that time, and regarded these Kurdish forces as rebels.

To this day, the conflict between the two sides has never stopped.

Although Saddam's government has disappeared into history, Iraqis have not forgotten the three Kurdish-held provinces in the north.

It is important to know that the three northern provinces are the main agricultural and animal husbandry bases in Iraq, and the places close to the two river basins are the best natural pastures.

Iraqis, who have lost the three northern governorates, have seen a noticeable change in their lives, the biggest of which is that they rely on imports for almost all of their food, which has led to a sharp increase in the cost of living.

However, in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, because of the abundant water resources and fertile land, the life of the Kurds is getting better and better.

Therefore, the Iraqi government has always been obsessed with these three important grain-producing provinces.

However, recently, the Kurds of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region have not had a good time at all.

It can even be said that it is very difficult, the Iraqi government has completely cut off all access to the north, banned the provision of any goods and basic public services, and made the three northern provinces almost isolated from the world.

Iran and Turkey, on the other hand, have long separated the Kurds in their country from the Kurds in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, and are not allowed to interact at all.

The real tragedy is that the Kurdish, the most important source of emergency, is in the midst of a huge crisis.

Occidental Petroleum has always had the right to extract oil in the Kurdistan Autonomous Region, and in this land, there are proven oil reserves of more than four billion barrels, which have always been exploited by Western Petroleum companies.

Occidental Petroleum is a century-old energy monopoly in the United States, with a market value of hundreds of billions, but the recent collapse in oil prices has also caused oil extraction profits to decline sharply.
