Throughout history, the people of Kurdistan have stood against oppression and never bowed to tyrants.

Happy Newroz and Kurdish New Year -mb.

His dad would have ambushed those "parties" himself and taken hostage entire militias,

And then afterwards made a statement, using the constitutional arguments, listing all violations and issues, giving his expectations, listing his demands, and you know, get something done

[Hasan Askary @Has132860499]

Slemani under attack by Iran, innocent Kurdish peshmerga bases attacked and are getting dragged into this war!

If the Kurds retaliate it is because they were forced to and are being bombarded daily!

May Allah SWT protect the people of Kurdistan.

Pete Hegseth said this was "the first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since WWII" (which is false, but that's beside the point), so I decided to look at what happened in WW2 and... this might surprise no-one: turns out the Nazis were more humane than the Americans.

Probably the most abject part here is that the warship had many survivors - 32 to be precise (https://t.co/bS1uARrBtf) - and the U.S. made zero effort to rescue them, despite it being required by the laws of naval warfare and simply being the honorable thing to do.

It took little Sri-Lanka, with its very modest means - especially compared to the $1 trillion US defense budget - to do the honorable thing and launch a (successful) rescue operation.

Even the literal Nazis, during WW2, rescued the survivors of ships their U-boats sank. It was considered a matter of basic honor.

The history of this is actually interesting: the Nazis rescued survivors all the way until the so-called Laconia Incident in 1942 (https://t.co/6wI251aNCv).

The Laconia was a British troopship sunk by U-156, a German U-boat, off the West African coast. Right after the sinking, the Nazis immediately began rescuing over 400 survivors, broadcasting - as was common practice - in plain English their position on open radio channels to all Allied powers nearby, so they wouldn't get attacked during the rescue.

That's when a US B-24 "Liberator" bomber attacked the submarine anyway, even though all the rescued survivors were on its foredeck. The B-24 killed dozens of Laconia's survivors with bombs and strafing attacks, forcing U-156 to cast into the sea the remaining survivors that she had rescued and crash dive to avoid being destroyed.

The American B-24 pilots mistakenly reported they had sunk U-156, and were awarded medals for bravery...

This event completely changed Nazi policy on this matter: Karl Dönitz, commander of the U-boat fleet, issued the "Laconiarefehl" - the Laconia Order - forbidding U-boats from rescuing survivors, because the risk to the submarine was now too high.

In other words, the Americans during WW2 essentially forced the Nazis to abandon survivors - from the allied side (!) - at sea.

Dönitz at least had an excuse.

Trump mocked the Kurds for “not wanting to fight” Iraq.
What he forgot to mention: he left them facing US-trained Iraqi tanks and IRGC militias without air cover.

Now he’s back demanding they choose a side.
