32. "You can only be so smart, but stupid runs on forever"
You've discounted the importance of national boundaries by saying that there is no Iraqi nationality

Actually, I said there *IS* an Iraqi nationality.

So why is there a Polish nationality.

Because there's a Polish nation

What do they have in addition to a shared culture, language and history?

They have a nation

They certainly had no independent economic or political structures during the years as part of the Russian Empire

Actually, they did. The USSR didn't control Solidarnse

This is not an easy question and there is a lot of disagreement.

It's an easy question, but there is a lot of ignorance

The Turkish state says the Kurds are only an ethnicity and not a nationality, for instance

The Kurds agree. The difference between the Jurds and the Turks is that the Kurds think there should be a Kurdish nation. So far, you are mistaken on three continents. Wanna go for four?
