The General Political Thread

On good point NATO has the unified ammo. And here in squad we got both 7.62 and 5.45 rifles, which cause ammo sharing problems.

[Prince_Eugen]

So can helicopters...

Pf, who needs heli when you have a vintage animals in use 

Lol a M61 Vulcan shredding vintage cavalry would be a glorious sight

No jokes, in combat rules and regulations we have a statement which says - every mechanised and armoured brigade must have horses attached to it lol

[Riddlez]

I looked into it a bit more and I seems that the M240 is still used frequently by army squads... I figured it might have been one of the causes why the  Army would consider switching to a 7.62 rifle. If they have not a single weapon on-squad with longer range it is indeed hard to counter enemies with such rifles.

Which is where my donkey mounted 12pdr mountain howitzer would come in handy!

So can helicopters...

But can helicopters climb a narrow mountain path? NO!

The Iraqi government have left the Kurds with a 6 point ultimatum (the main point being to give up the oil rich city of Kirkuk to the Iraqi government) the six points needs to be fulfilled before monday, apparently there's also been gunfire at the borders tonight.

[Toffee]

Illegal referendums usually don't end well

[Furrnox]

They'd want Kirkuk back either way.

[StevenChilton]

Kurds can beat the Iraqi military no problem, but they can't beat Iran and/or Turkey. Obviously there's going to be a war so the outcome depends on which way the West jumps and also what Saudi Arabia decides to do. Given they're going to be attacked on all sides they're going to need to do an Israel. I reckon Saudi/West will stay out and the Kurds will be beaten quickly.

[Riddlez]

The West is going to support stability in the region. Western militaries know that iraq as a country is never going to happen again, wihch hopefully will trickle down to politics.

The West has the safest and most sustainable ally in the Kurds, tohugh let's just hope Turkey won't go tits up.

Not sure I understand-West will have to choose between Turkey and Kurdistan, so they'll probably take the third option which is sit back and see what happens. There's no good options, it's bound to lead to a major war, and it makes no sense for us to get involved.

[Riddlez]

Sit back and Iraw will probably deteriorate into another war between the State of Iraq and the Kurds, considering the Kurds WILL NOT let go of the territory they have now. Another war in the same region is not beneficial to the West, though Turkey will simply tolerate an independant Kurdistan.

The West will have to take a side. Maybe it will even end up in Turkey gaining some land...
