    If it’s in the news, how is it supposed to work exactly?

    Are there secrets or something that are top?

      I mean, this was kind of a given. Top secret or not, in the news or not, the US arming the Kurds was absolutely going to happen. People have been predicting this since the whole thing kicked off. We know Israel and the US want an uprising, and want to pick the “winner”.

    I don’t think the Kurds are too interested in taking over Iran. As far as I know they just want to be independent.
