The Kurds...

They're tired of all of this b.s. They're about to divorce Iraq! A secession vote is imminent or so it seems.

This time they're talking about making the vote binding! Secede from Iraq and deal with the consequences of the secession accordingly. Personally, I don't understand how the Iraqi guv'ment could even begin to think they have some sort of control over the Kurds. Let them have their Kurdistan back.

Either way, Turkey ain't going to like the very idea of this... not at all.

Time will tell.

IMHO

ISIS's desperate moves during desperate times.

Note to ISIS, daesh. If you announce to the world you're going to destroy it then you'd better prepare yourself for your demise.

ISIS, daesh... they're failing.

And falling fast! Here's yet another desperate push by ISIS, daesh to kill as many people as they can, to make just one more "splash", "oomph" before they're reduced to the blubbering cowards they truly are.

This latest "push" is against the United States controlled Qayara air base just south of Mosul. As usual, they're slaughtering everyone and everything in their path. Women, children, journalists... innocents.

Since POTUS Donald J. Trump took command we've seen more progress against ISIS, daesh globally than we ever did in the past eight years, collectively.
