CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joined anchor Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday to detail her latest bombshell report out of the Middle East. Ward reported that President Donald Trump has been in talks with Iranian Kurdish leaders about the U.S. supporting a Kurdish ground assault inside Iran, working toward the ultimate goal of regime change in Iran.
“Sources now telling CNN the CIA is working to arm and assist Kurdish forces. The goal we are told is to fuel a popular uprising against the regime inside Iran,” Blitzer began before introducing Ward. CNN’s chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward “live from Erbil, Iraq.” “Clarissa, you’ve been in Iraq now for a few days. What can you tell us?” Blitzer asked.
“Well, that’s right, Wolf. We are now learning from a senior official here in Iraqi Kurdistan that this CIA operation to support these Iranian Kurdish forces has been going on now for a few months,” Ward replied, adding:
We spoke to a senior leader with the Iranian Kurdish militia groups yesterday, who told us that they believe they are going to be participating in a ground offensive into Iran in the coming days, and that they are going to be doing it with the support of the U.S. and Israel, though he would not say what exactly that support will look like. He said that President Trump himself had actually called the leader of one of these Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups.

Now it looks like they may even start involving the Iraqi Kurds too.

It is such a noble cause. 
Rulers like Saddam and the late Ayatollah Khameini only want unquestioning followers. Kurds are trapped between Iraq, Iran, and Turkey -- all wanting to control them and make them into compliant subjects of their Great Leaders. They didn't get much better treatment when these regions were controlled by imperial Great Powers, like Russia, the Ottomans, or France or GB. They never wanted to be absorbed into another culture.
After the Iraq War, it looked like the Kurds might finally get some of what they wanted. But then Erdogan turned hard-line Muslim Nationalist and refused to cooperate. When the Kurds were the most effective fighting force in the Middle East against the terrorist pseudo-state ISIS , Trmp pulled US aid out from under them, which cost the Kurds enormous numbers of casualties, many of them tortured to death.
Too bad they don't live next door to Canada.
