2020-06-17 |
[Rudaw] Iranian artillery shells and ... KABOOM!... s simultaneously pounded the Haji Omaran area on the Kurdistan Region's border with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate on Tuesday, local officials have told Rudaw. No casualties as a result of the bombardment have yet been reported, according to the chieftain of the affected village of Alana. "In the While the area has previously been subject to Iranian artillery shelling that targets Iranian Kurdish opposition groups nestled in the border area, "We suspect that the two sides are in coordination, because this is the first time that ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... has bombed this region," mayor Farzang Ahmed told Rudaw. "This region is frequently and every year under Iran's shelling, on the grounds that they are targeting Kurdish opposition parties," Ahmed said. Today's attacks come a day after Turkey announced the launch of Operation Claw-Eagle, targeting suspected Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) bases in Shingal in Nineveh province, and Makhmour, Qarachogh, Mount Qandil, Khuakurk, and Zap across the Kurdistan Region. In Monday's air campaign, Turkey's defense ministry said they hit a total of 81 targets, including "shelters and caves". |

#3 The fact that you say Baghdad can't do anything about what is happening in Kurdistan reinforces the argument that Iraq ia a failed state. |

#2 They do complain, from time to time. But it’s semi-independent Kurdish territory, so they don’t really care if the upstarts get punished a bit, since Baghdad can’t do anything about it anyway. |

#1 The fact that Iraq makes no complaint after attacks on its territory demonstrates, if demonstrations are needed, that it is a failed state, a fallen humpty-dumpty |
