A kurdish controlled iran doesn’t seem possible, a breakaway kurdistan in former nw iran is more likely.
That would tempt turkiye into military action, giving the russian regime in the us an excuse to get belligerent with an eu member. An independant kurdistan would likely get the sympathy of many other eu members, so even if turkiye plays it cool, it creates tension within the eu and something russia can promise turkiye that the eu probably can’t.
Which EU member are we talking about here? It’s not very clear, since Turkey isn’t one
It’s almost like Putin wants all of this to happen. I wonder why things work out that way 🤔
Please resist reducing all of this to Putin or Trump. Iran has been a target of western interests for 80 years, with plenty of bipartisan warmongering in the last 25.
