Kurdistan and The Kurds A Divided Homeland and a Nation without ...

from outer space via satellites; it became clear that a
world war is impossible. A supporting factor for this
was the strategy of using nuclear weapons; as they stopped
being directed against other nations’ armies only, but to
all their resources also. So, any direct strike to paralyze
and kill to the real centers of power would not be withstood
by anyone, be it the first striker or waiting for the second
strike. Thus the impossibility of a nuclear war between
the two super powers; the United States of America and
the Soviet Union, led to the fact that the other groups
realized in turn that the protective umbrella provided by
their senior partner would not be able to protect them,
and the United States would not instigate a war unless
the threat was to America directly. The same goes to
the Soviet Union also. In this way the ideological and
political division which divided the world into two camps
all through the cold war from 1945 to 1970 ended
completely in 1972 barring few spread groups, which
started to dissolve. France under General de Gaulles for
instance started looking for its own methods for national
security because America could not protect it, as did
China under Mao Tzu Tong by looking for own protection
as the Soviet Union could not provide protection, and
many others…
The only exception was Kurdistan and the Kurdish
liberation movement that did not look for own national
security and stayed in danger in the new balance of the
world as it was during the old balance. Even after the
two super powers during Kennedy–Khrushchov era moved
from the possibility of clashing to possibility of
understanding, as it was summarized by the American
President Nixon during the meeting of spring 1972 in
Moscow, which was an important decisive moment by
