The border between the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and North and East Syria (NES) has long remained closed due to pressure from Ankara on Erbil. This needs to change. The Sabbatean-controlled Derin Devlet deep state domestic intelligence apparatus would be particularly well-advised to use its leverage in Ankara to relieve pressure on Erbil so that the KRG will feel free to open the KRI-NES border. Subsequently needs the Biden administration for obvious humanitarian reasons pressure the KRG to make sure that Erbil actually opens the Iraqi-Syrian border once there is relief from Turkish pressure.
