Great point and another opportunity to tout my Senator Jim Risch. He sat with Kurdish representives 4 years ago at the state of the union and lobbied the (criminal) administration to send them arms. The criminal administration refused.You remember when a few states in the south wanted to leave the union, here in the States!?!
Only the most productive killing fields in history to that point in time. Issues are issues, but the feds arent fixin to let any state go.
Let alone an economy as large as California. I say screw commiefornia, let them succeed.
This is the same issue with Catalonia. That region is Spains major economic value. But let them succeed.
The Kurds saved Iraq from ISIS, they held it down when the US govt sat back with thumb in rectum not knowing what to do. the Kurds got screwed again by the US federal government.
