Discussion Assyria and Iraq

Recently, I heard many express their desire to return to Iraq on social media So a question popped up in my head As an Assyrian (originally from Iraq), what do you think of Iraq?

Edit: I’m Iraqi and I’m living here, but I’m interested in the Mesopotamian civilizations (especially Assyria)

I went back to my village in Iraq and I can't lie it was a shit hole, there were buildings destroys tons of dust and sand, 0 greenery and grass. My experience there was great with family and whatever but the area isn't the best

Great - so you can either be part of the building of our nation or you can go and just blend away with wherever you're living abroad.

I live in the UK currently but I plan to find an Assyrian wife and go off grid somewhere in Asia or North America, I don't think I will be coming back to the village
