Assyria will rise
DiscussionTo add on to this Assyrians in General need to be more actively involved in Western Governments, take internships into government agencies or work as a assistant for a diplomat
When you intern in the government you are not able to influence the government, you’re just assisting them with menial tasks. Assyrians need to aim much much higher. Assyrians need to run for office and need to gain appointments to top level positions. They need to get powerful people on their side.
The biggest missed opportunity was in 2003. The US needed allies in taking down Iraq, and Assyrians should have stepped up on the condition of gaining autonomy or independence within Nineveh plains and Dohuk. Instead, the Kurds fulfilled the role, and used that authority to marginalize Assyrians more.
Assyrians should’ve armed and aggressively seized land in northern iraq, carving out autonomy. In a region like that, only brute force gains respect.
I agree with your point that we need to aim big and we’ve had many missed opportunities, but obviously with big government roles you need connections and small little baby steps like internships into government agencies or being an assistant for a diplomat could help with such
In that I agree, careers do have to start somewhere.
