    The people of Kosovo who accepted the truth fell into great confusion. It is true that they pursue independence, but the Kosovo Liberation Army, which gains power at the expense of the lives and interests of the Kosovar people, is also untrustworthy. And if the cost of independence is too high,  After independence, the country's life became even worse. So such independence really doesn't mean much.

    Therefore, in the final struggle of Kejie, there was basically no help from the Albanian people, and some people even took the initiative to lead the way, because their hatred was transferred to this group of guys who would do anything to achieve their goals.

    A great war disappeared in this way. The Americans made loud noises but little rain. In the end, they did not cause any great harm to Yugoslavia. They were ridiculed by many people in the world, and the international political influence of the United States was also weakened.  However, the Americans cannot care about this anymore, because they are still facing greater tests in the Middle East. The Kurdistan War of Independence has begun to change the geopolitical structure of the entire Middle East and seriously threatens the energy security and energy strategy of the United States. The Balkans are not  If it is resolved well, at most China will retain its stronghold in Europe, but if the Middle East is not resolved well, the United States will feel the pain.

    And the Middle East is now a mess. Although the United States has generally determined that it will support the anti-Kurdish alliance, its interests are actually to end the chaos quickly and ensure that Kurdistan's oil production is not affected as much as possible.  If Kurdistan is destroyed, the United States will have to spend several years rebuilding its oil facilities, which is really an uneconomical situation.

    However, the Kurdish War of Independence is also a good opportunity for the United States to re-establish its leadership position in the Middle East. China will certainly not easily unite with other Middle Eastern countries to oppose the Kurds. However, suppressing the Kurds is the common aspiration of Arab countries. The United States hopes to take this opportunity to  Countries such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt have alienated themselves from friendly relations with China. Even if they cannot get them on board, they cannot be dragged away by China.

    ¡° Moreover, strengthening relations with NATO ally Turkey and easing relatively hostile sentiments with Iran are all results that can be obtained from the Kurdish War of Independence, and Americans are also looking forward to this.  However, in terms of specific means, it is still undecided how to unite the anti-Kurdish alliance and whether the US military itself will launch an attack on the Kurds. However, if there is to be an attack, the US forces deployed near the Balkans can move to the Middle East and directly participate in this war.  .

    At this stage, the main battlefields of the Kurdish War of Independence are still on the Turkish-Kurdish border and the Kurdish-Syrian border, and the scale of the conflict is not particularly large. Obviously, the anti-Kurdish alliance is also preparing for large-scale intervention. Before this, they will not take any drastic measures.  Dealing with Kurdistan.

    Barzani also felt full of malice from neighboring countries in the Middle East and the United States. On the one hand, he stepped up contact with China, hoping to get public support from China to tide over the difficulties like Yugoslavia. On the other hand, Barzani also passed  Various channels have been stockpiling weapons in large quantities, and called on all Kurds to rise up and fight to defend the country they have worked so hard to build.

    The appeal of this slogan is amazing. Ordinary residents of Kurdistan walked out of their homes one after another. Both men, women and children entered the defense department and applied to join the army. Although mainly men of appropriate age were admitted to the militia, after some hard work, Kurdistan became armed.  There are about 400,000 militiamen. Although they do not have the high-end equipment of the People's Protection Army and only have ordinary light weapons, in order to protect the future hope of the Kurds, these Kurds have an extremely strong will to fight. They are not afraid of sacrifice and are willing to shed blood. They will be  The most terrifying enemy of the anti-Kurdish coalition.

    Not only the residents of the former Iraqi Kurdistan were so enthusiastic about joining the army to defend the country, but also the Kurds in Turkey were clamoring. With the help of the PKK, many young Kurds crossed the Turkish-Kurdish border and arrived in Kurdistan.  Join Kurdish forces there.  Many Kurdish immigrants from all over the world gave up the new life they had gained, embarked on a journey, returned to Kurdistan with their assets, and fought bloody battles to the end for the dignity and hope of the 30 million Kurds.

    These news materials were disseminated by reporters, especially the reports by Chinese journalists, which moved many Chinese people to the patriotism of the Kurds. There were also rallies in support of the Kurdish independence movement in some places in the country, and some people suggested  The Chinese government supports the Kurds.

    However, China does not seem to be very interested in this matter, because after all, Kurdistan is not a traditional ally of China, but a former follower of the United States. China is far from trusting Yugoslavia in Kurdistan.  In addition, Qi Yiming believes that on the Balkan issue, China has already shown too much prowess, and if it behaves too fiercely on the Kurdish issue, it is likely that things will turn against each other, causing more adverse effects.  Furthermore, Qi Yiming lost face to the United States in Kosovo, but in Kurdistan he felt there was no need to be so anxious and keep fighting with the Americans.

    ? ?Preparations for the war will take several more years, and Qi Yiming does not want to trigger a war early under circumstances that he can control.

    Therefore, China¡¯s official attitude towards the Kurdish War of Independence appears to be very ambiguous and perfunctory. The main position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is that China calls on all parties to remain calm and restrained, resolve issues through negotiation and communication, and not to resort to force easily. China also calls on all parties to  We respect the will of the Kurds, and at the same time hope that Kurdistan will not act arbitrarily, conduct proper consultation and communication with Iraq and others, and keep regional peace and stability in mind and not act arbitrarily.

    China¡¯s special envoy for the Middle East issue is also actively engaged in collusion activities in the Middle East. However, it is difficult to achieve any effective results when Kurdistan and the anti-Kurdish alliance are relatively determined.

    But Kurdistan is not completely without supporters. When the anti-Kurdish alliance was on the verge of being formed, Barzani made a lightning trip to Israel and met with Israeli Prime Minister Barak.  After this meeting, Kurdistan and Israel issued a joint statement. Israel also publicly expressed its support and sympathy for Kurdistan for the first time, saying that the situation of the Kurds is very similar to that of the Jews, and they are also excluded and suppressed by neighboring countries. Israel will  We will provide certain support to Kurdistan so that Kurdistan can survive strongly.

    Israel plans to provide Kurdistan with weapons and other supplies necessary for the war through airdrops and other means to support Kurdistan¡¯s fighting.  However, such a statement naturally aroused strong opposition from stakeholder countries such as Syria and Turkey, and even Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.  Acting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad strongly stated that if Israel crosses Syrian airspace and airdrops supplies to Kurdistan, Syria will regard it as hostility and shoot down an Israeli transport plane.  The Iranian Defense Minister stated that Israel is the source of all evil in the Middle East and a country that should be wiped off the face of the earth. If Israel supports Kurdistan, Iran will also treat Israel as a target of attack and an enemy that must be eliminated.  But after so many years of living in Israel, which country in the Middle East has it ever been afraid of?  When the ground troops on the border were feinting to attract the attention of the Syrian army, Israel sent four C-130 transport planes to fly over Syria and airdropped dozens of tons of weapons and ammunition to Kurdistan. Although the amount was not large, the gesture was very discreet.  Face, many Arab countries are angry.  Regardless of making more enemies, Bashar ordered the Syrian army to shell the Israeli army on the other side of the border. Israel, a typical character that does not suffer losses, immediately retaliated with rocket launchers. Because the Syrian army was not well prepared, it caused 4 casualties.  There were no casualties among the Israeli troops, but some residential buildings were destroyed.  Seemingly to help Israel vent its anger, Barzani ordered the Kurdish Air Force to take off several F-16 air strikes on several military targets in Syria, creating a situation where Kurdistan and Israel are on the same side, which even caused the Arab countries to  There was widespread dissatisfaction, and even the Saudi Crown Prince jumped out to accuse the Kurds of betraying God and collaborating with infidels to kill Muslims.

    Saudi Arabia even stated that although it is unlikely to directly send troops to deal with Kurdistan, Saudi Arabia is considering providing military assistance to Syria, Iraq, and even Turkey and Iran to strengthen the anti-Kurdish alliance.  Although China enjoys a certain degree of influence over Saudi Arabia, it cannot influence Saudi Arabia's subjective decisions. If it rashly demands Saudi Arabia to stop its hostility towards the Kurds, it will also damage China-Saudi Arabia relations.  Due to Israel's involvement, the original Kurdish War of Independence was developing in the direction of the Sixth Middle East War, and this time the main battlefield was not on the Mediterranean coast, but in the mountainous Kurdistan region.  For the time being, Israel is at war with Syria, and Turkey, Iraq, and Iran are at war with Kurdistan. At this time, Iran has not yet launched a direct offensive against Kurdistan. Only the armed forces of Turkey and Iraq are engaging in firefights with Kurdistan.  However, the scale of these exchanges was not large. Obviously, neither Kurdistan nor the anti-Kurdish side was determined to fight a war.
