If you prefer the whiny victim ideology then that’s great for you. Be loud and proud. Be a fuking whiny victim. But dont live in denial that you’re a fuking whiny victim.

Fortunately you're around to keep us abreast of obsolete politics.

Suddenly it no longer matters what economics I believe in. I am a communist. A communist who believes in free enterprise and free trade and private property.

What a world we live in.

Moscow Outmaneuvers Washington’s Kurdistan Project


For the moment it looks as if Russian three-dimensional geopolitical chess moves in the turbulent Middle East have thrown a giant monkey wrench into Washington plans to create an independent Kurdistan. In September the Kurdish population in Iraq voted apparently overwhelmingly for creation of an independent Kurdistan that would control some of the richest oil fields of Iraq in and around Kirkuk as well. Today, a month later, Massoud Barzani, the US and Israel-backed Kurd leader, is facing a major loss of powers from the Iraq Kurd Parliament. In the middle of the fast-changing developments—whose outcome is decisive to far more than the Middle East—is Russia and the Russian state-owned oil giant, Rosneft.
Contrary to the slick US and EU propaganda that has portrayed former President Massoud Barzani and his Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) as champions of western-style democracy, Barzani is a clan warlord who has ruthlessly pursued ethnic cleansing against a Yazidi and Christian Assyrian minority in order to gain control of oil lands those peoples had historically occupied until 2014. The Barzani clan and his Peshmerga military arm were trained beginning the late 1960s by Israeli Mossad Lt Colonel Tzuri Sagi, initially to go against Saddam Hussein’s rule. Israeli ties to the Barzani clan have remained since.
Since that time the Massoud Barzani clan has built a dictatorial power in the Kurdish region of Iraq using assassination, corruption and since 2014, control of sales of Iraqi oil via Turkey. Such is Barzani’s mafia-power, despite the fact that his term as President of the Iraqi Kurdistan ended in 2015 and the Kurd regional parliament refused to renew it, he has ruled since without any legal basis by preventing the parliament from convening and formally ousting him. Massoud’s son controls the region’s security council and all all military and civilian intelligence.
Barzani, with open backing of Israel’s Netanyahu, despite major opposition from most of the world, went ahead with a referendum for an independent Kurdish state. It was to have been the beginning of a domino-style reshaping of the geopolitical map of the entire Middle East along the lines of US Army Col. Ralph Peters’ 2006 Armed Forces Journal, “Blood Borders: How a Better Middle East Would Look.”
Since the British and French carved up the oil-rich lands of the collapsing Ottoman Empire in the secret Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 during the First World War, the ethnic peoples known as Kurds were divided, deliberately, between the borders of Iran, Iraq, Syria and of Turkey. To now create a single Kurdish state would destabilize the entire region and beyond. The issues among the various ethnic Kurds themselves are as well vast with differences in Kurd dialects sometimes being as vast as that between Englis

They have been outsmarting and out maneuvering The US. for a a while now.

Sen. Rand Paul sustained broken ribs in an attack that was more severe than first thought; it's unclear when he'll return to D.C.

Texas gunman should not have been able to buy a firearm, but the Air Force failed to alert FBI to his violent past

https://www.washingtonpost.com/?wpisrc=al_news__alert-national&wpmk=1

several members of the same family were killed.

***********

Hear this on BBC today:

American solution to these mass murders is :..........GUNS(EVEN MORE) AND PRAYER.

After all this time and all these incidents of horror........simply y simply don't have the GUTS to do what is really necessary...........and prefer to remain a barbaric "sate". where mass killings of any variety are the order of the day and simply their "lifestyle" As are the candle light prayer vigils they hold to honor their increasing number of dead from gun incidents. Guns and Bibles. The fact that the shooter was killed by a gun carrying citizen......will only reinforce the policy of more guns is the answer. He probably will not be charged with Murder.and will be treated as a hero A mind twister to anyone but an American.
