Relax people the poor guy is saying what he thinks if u dont like his thoughts then either dont say nothing and move on or be nice im suprised he isnt banned since i was twice for speaking my thoughts, clearly people dont like what i have to say

That is so sad of the mods. And then us Kurds are protesting against our oppressors saying we want freedom of speech. lol

You know who is my role model? Hitler. He united his own nation and made it strong again. He didn't put trust in the invaders of Germany. The Kurds need a type of Hitler. (Not a tyrannical one though who kills millions of people)

Hitler did many bad things such as killing innocent people but he united his nation. We need someone who will unite the Kurdish nation! Someone who will not listen to the suppressor or put trust in the suppressor such as our current leaders are doing! The PKK, KDP, PUK, they all have put trust in the enemy.

PKK trusted the Syrian government
KDP trusted the Iraqi goverment and is trusting Turkey!!!
PUK trusted the Iranian government
Goran is trusting the Iranian government

We need a party that doesn't put trust in the enemy

I agree with most of your points. However do you really want to defend Hitler and suggest he be a role model to the Kurds? Hitler may of been a great speaker and politican, but "his reich" that was meant to last for 1000 years only lasted 7 years. Hitler suceeded in what his predecessers didn't do, that was completely mess up the country. I think though we do need a political movement that is both nationalist and socialist, the closest is probably the PKK, but to be honest with you I really don't know much about their ideology. We also need a political movement that completely disacknowledges the treaty of Sevres that is still being imposed on us. Though it is easy for me to say that behind a computer.

actually,hitler did not restore the german economy. he simply spent more money than he had (very few history books actually go much in to the details in this). germany got 60bilion,and spent 110 bil,each year.
he told his generals in 1939 that germany would have gone bankrupt by 1942 if they didnt have a war of conquest (this was a little more than a week before the invasion of poland).
but i agree with you that we need a leader,in some ways similar to hitler, that can unite us! (but not discriminate/attack minorities or ethnic groups in any way nor attack neighbouring countries,like hitler did).

Good to know you agree with me.

If you study Hitler and his way to power you will find out it is very interesting. If you look at his speeches and the way he moves his hands, look carefully and you will see he loves Opera and those Opera moves make his speech more effective. If there was a Kurd who preached to the Kurdish soldiers just like Hitler did to the German soldiers, the Kurds would want to run from Hawler to Amsterdam for exercise lol. It so interesting how much a simple speech can change people. It can motivate them.

Arent you the same Guy from Apricity? Hitler was a sick dude and had no idea about military. The only thing he could do good was hold speeches .

People needed some comfort, someone to blame for the loss, they needed someone to say what went wrong, who to blame, who's fault etc. And that person was hitler who said the words people wanted, needed to hear.. Infact hitler was very stupid, he just loved to boss around infact even in school his teacher noted how hitler wanted to decide over the others. When it came to leadership he was also very stupid, he's the reason germany lost. However hitler got a skill of talking to the people by moving his hands around like a retard

A recent stoush between Iraqi and Iraqi Kurdish forces near the Syrian border is a symptom of the “arms race” between the two. They act more like armies from opposing nations, than two arms of a national force, critics say.

Apparently the Iraqi army and the Iraqi Kurdish military were only one command away from armed conflict in recent weeks. According to statements made by some officials in the semi-autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, weapons were ready to be fired in the tense Iraqi-Syria border areas.


The tensions arose after July 27, when the Iraqi government ordered Iraqi army brigades to deploy in areas normally under the control of the Iraqi Kurdish troops, known as the Peshmerga, on the borders between Iraq and Syria, and more specifically in the Zamar area in the state of Ninawa. The reason: to protect border areas. However the Peshmerga did not allow the Iraqi army to complete its mission.


This was because Iraqi troops were sent into these areas without, according to the commander of Peshmerga, prior arrangement. The areas, around the city of Dohuk and, in particular, in the Zamar area, are part of what are known in Iraq as “disputed territories” – that is, where there is land that Iraqi Kurdistan says belongs to Iraqi Kurdistan but which Baghdad says belongs to Iraq.


At the time, locals fled and the two sets of troops faced off, apparently ready to fire upon one another. Since then though tensions have eased after meetings were held between the two forces. And in early August military leader and the official spokesman for the Peshmerga, Jabbar Yawar, confirmed that an agreement had been reached and that the majority of the points had been acted upon.


Yawar said that part of this plan allowed Iraqi military to remain in areas formerly under sole control of the Kurdish forces in order to assist in guarding the Syrian borders. However the agreement also stipulated that additional troops recently brought into the area should be withdrawn and that the main roads in the area be reopened. Finally, all of the forces in the area would be withdrawn once there was an end to the Syrian crisis in sight.


As a result, Erbil and Baghdad were able to defuse this security crisis; this was a positive step and ensured that the country did not slip down a further dangerous and slippery slope toward violence and conflict. But interestingly the terms of the agreement are more like the truce between the armies of two neighbouring nations, rather than the two different military organizations working for the same country.


It may even be fair to say that the two military forces act that way. In fact, some of their recent behaviour suggests that the Iraqi military and the Iraqi Kurdish military have been in a kind of arms race, with these kinds of tensions escalating for some time now.


The Iraqi Kurdish actually have – or perhaps, had - a lot to do with the Iraqi national army. After the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, the Iraqi army, once loyal only to former Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein, was dissolved. When it was seen as necessary to re-establish the Iraqi army, this was done by both Arab and Iraqi Kurdish officers. Notable among these was Babaker Shawkat Zebari, who remains the current Chief of Staff of the Iraqi army – although some critics have dismissed Zebari’s role as that of a figurehead, rather than any genuine Iraqi Kurdish input in the national armed forces.


The most recent round of wrangling between Baghdad and Iraqi Kurdistan began in 2007. Baghdad insisted that the number of Peshmerga forces be reduced to 30,000. However the Iraqi Kurdish insisted it needed to be raised to 75,000 because of the mountainous and tricky terrain on the Iraqi Kurdish, international borders.


According to the media in Iraqi Kurdistan, the Peshmerga troops on the payroll currently number around 100,000. There are also 90,000 retired soldiers who also receive pensions. It had been agreed that some of the Peshmerga should be annexed to the Iraqi army in order to reduce that figure to 75,000. However this is still far from the desired figure of around 30,000 troops. Baghdad has also refused to allocate any further funding for the Peshmerga and has also insisted on the closure of two military academies in Iraqi Kurdistan.


As for actual hardware, the Iraqi Kurdish have bought over 20 Apache helicopters from the US while Baghdad has plans to purchase F16 fighter planes from the US, due to be delivered there in 2014.


Meanwhile Baghdad continues to say that any kind of “army” in Iraqi Kurdistan, that is specifically at the service of Iraqi Kurdistan, would be “unconstitutional”.

Not completly true, if hitlers generals like himmler would decide all the time they would have won the war I promise you. But hitler also liked to play boss and liked to decide over everything. Hitler to example was the reason germany lost on the last counter attack against the allies in france and opened the way for the allies to invade germany. Hitler was also to proud over his race and ideology which drove him to make a war against stalin. Okey stalin may have brokeen the agreement they had by taking over som areas in romania but still, germany was far away from those regions. Hitler decided over things he had no clue of.

Himmler did shit.
Himmler was sick psycho who was only busy with managing his SS and trying to find a solution for the ''Jewish Question''.
Himmler was not an Army leader. He was a sick, powerful Politician.

But the Germans had a lot of brilliant Generals and Field-Marshall's. Some of them were respected by friend and ENEMY. Even at the time of war. Some great German generals were/are:

- Erwin Rommel
- Gerd von Rundstedt
- Walter Model

[unitedkurdistan]

LOL I meant generals like rommel not the psycho himmler. Shera Medya are you some sort of pro nazi or something? himmler, really?!
