Gas is good.
Isaiah Powell
Was it because of ISIS, or because of the Kurds? I have heard a lot of talk about Kurds ethnically cleansing areas under their control from native Assyrians.
Luis Martin
Where are the new memes about what's happening currently?
Iraqi troops just captured a major gas station and electricity station

Kek Guess we have to wait for some leafs to wake up, they know how to do memes
Kayden Johnson
Well use a meme if you want but explain to me how Assad is going to reclaim a heavily fortified third of his own country with all the foreign vultures around him to boot.
There has been confirmed causalities, but other than that the extent of resistance isn't known

Yellow are Kurdish controled areas, red is Iraqi government, black is ISIS.
The gun represents a supposed military operation. The area around I made a red box shows the areas that are supposedly now under the full control of the Iraqi military.

All of the above will be confirmed tomorrow so forgive me if there are going to be false claims/fake news in any of the tweets above, I really wanted to provide all possible information without spamming the sub separately. Good night

Yep, infighting just like the Spanish Republicans. Wow, not even ISIS was insane enough to resort to that.

Just the norm. Iraqi troops advancing and some Kurds are fighting and some already ran away
Ethan Young
So I just woke up and am trying to make sense of the situation in Kirkuk, did the KRG withdraw, have they handed it back to Baghdad?
Good morning lads and a happy kurdocide day. I had to sleep for a couple of hours. How many dead kurds we have already?
Fighting still ongoing?
