Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - buying land off Iran and Turkey for the Kurds

I was talking to some friends and we were wondering how feasible it would be for the US to offer to buy lands from Iran and Turkey that have indigenous Kurdish peoples and give the Kurds a separate nation.

The US can still put the offer of $30 billion back on the table but this time just offer to buy the land.

In turn, the Kurds can offer both Turkey and Iran, cut rate deals on oil prices.

Also in exchange for Kurdish autonomy, the Kurds can give Iraq a certain percentage of the oil revenues as form of compensation on a monthly or yearly basis. Iraqi citizens can still travel freely into and out of Kurdish territory of course.

Anyways, just an interesting thought.
