I read it on several occasions in the news.
Oxymandias wrote:Why is that if Rojava does involve itself in ethnic cleansing?
Because they strive to realise their own homeland. They probably assume that removing other ethnicities will make their objective more realistic.
Oxymandias wrote:2. Yes, that is obvious. But it does not support your point that Iran, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq will suddenly become balkanized immediately after they lose some insignificant territory that they didn't control in the first place.
If you do not quote me I cannot see what you are answering to.

I know, I know. I mentioned Spain's violence against the Catalonians because it happened just days ago and I wanted to illustrate that if such violence occurs in the EU, we can only imagine what will happen in the Middle East where human rights are so much less respected.

Please quote what you are responding to, like I am doing here. Otherwise I do not know what exactly you are responding to.
You said something about Kurdistan defending Syria and Iraq, that looks very implausible to me.
I thin you are looking at this matter through Iran-coloured glasses.
I don't blame you for that, we each have our background.
And you can leave out the
ad hominems.

The first and foremost interest of the Kurds is to have their own homeland.
Whatever relations they will have with their neighbours will depend on circumstances.
As for Iraq, I would rather say there is a potential conflict possible about the demarcation of the future borders of Iraqi Kurdistan. The Kurds claim important oil fields in their territory and Iraq has already sent troops to occupy those oil fields.

Agricultural products will always find buyers.
Oxymandias wrote:6. How can it be unforeseen if you predict it?
I predicted only those elements that are predictable, i.e. Turkey and Iran's unwillingness to accept/allow an independent Kurdistan to emerge.
There will be many unforeseen events when the borders in the Middle East change. More upheaval most probably. New alliances, maybe new wars ?
