I don't live there. You guys do. I'm still learning. And I'll read more. Me and
@jamahir have religious and ideological interests so we are even on this thread. Most Indians would be least interested. And India does not have the muscle or the will or the guts currently to piss off the Arabs and the Iranians in an effort to meddle in the region and fish in troubled waters, in the hope of power projection into West Asia and the oil.
Otherwise an oil rich Zoroastrian Kurdistan smack dab in the middle of the middle east (Iraq KRG), with ideological and spiritual loyalty to the Indian theological and spiritual fountainhead in the form of the Parsi community makes perfect sense to an increasingly Hindu India.
I do not see Iran and Turkey affected. You are too big and too stable politically and powerful militarily.
But Iraq and Syria do not exist anymore. Not as nation states. They are even worse off than Afghanistan when you come to think of their borders and territorial integrity and the writ of the central power center over the land as a whole.
For all intents and purposes the Kurdish fighters and the territory they hold are independent nations in their own right.
A declaration and recognition is the logical next step.
They do not have to be one big Kurdistan. There could very well be 2 or even 3 separate nation states.
They are after all the 4th largest ethnic group in the ME after the Arabs the Persians and the Turks. 40 million is not a small number by any stretch.
I do not see either Syria or Iraq wresting those areas back. Or even trying to.
How do YOU see things panning out?
