Everyone should pay attention to developments among the Kurds in Iraq, the Catalans in Spain, and the Scots in Britain. The Kurds overwhelmingly passed an independence referendum today much to the consternation of the Iraqi Government. The Catalans are poised to do the same thing this Sunday in Spain. The Scots support for independence has increased with the coming of Brexit. We need to be aware of these events because these could escalate into troubling situations for N.A.T.O. and the increasing instability of the Middle East.
