Iraqi army advances after IS assault on Kirkuk

Once they get into the city it begins.....House to house 1,000 houses fighting is different.

Somethings tells me they will crumble. Then again the IS numbers are small to the size of the city. The Iraq troops need to enter from 3 different areas "forcing" the IS to brake up and spread out making them weaker.......If they don't spread-out, they get surrounded.

Russian nationalists seem obsessed with talking about Syria on threads about Iraq. I know it isn't guilt, maybe it's embarrassment?

Madverts, two neighboring countries, a civil war in both, even the actual matter is the same - storming of a big city. It's natural to compare the situation, what's the problem? NATO propagandists are afraid of such comparison? There was a nice book by James Hadley Chase, title "The Guilty Are Afraid". It's about NATO propagandists.

I don't live in your binary, nationalistic world of "with us and against us" Asakaze. Sorry about that.

I live in Japan, Madverts, it's a normal country where you can live without your Western false "democratic" mentality - "do as you say, otherwise you are not democratic and we'll bomb you". Sorry for you.
