Some leftist media really out here cheering IRGC like it's their sports team while our WSO is evading mullah's murder squad in the Zagros mountains.
Some of you legit tweeting 'hope he doesn't make it back' vibes. Bro... your team is the regime that stones women and funds terror, and you're mad the American airman got rescued?
Clown world maxed out. Our military clears, your hot takes drool.
Simple questions:
Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not ~60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds?
Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not for Kurds?
Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?
🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller lays it out PERFECTLY
Imagine a "native Minnesotan who works as a lineman...worried about his ability to support for and provide his family."
"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"
"THAT is the system that is being run and that is the corruption that this task force under the leadership of the Vice President is going to demolish." @StephenM
Kept 11 tons of cocaine off American streets.
It’s unacceptable these brave members are not getting paid.
Shutting DHS down only punishes those who keep our nation safer.
The Kurdish dilemma is a classic **loyalty trap**—a no-win political catch-22 where every option gets weaponized against them.
- Stay silent? → Dismissed as assimilated or regime collaborators.
- Organize politically? → Branded separatists threatening national unity.
- Avoid conflict? → Blamed for not joining the broader struggle.
- Take up arms? → Accused of sparking civil war and sabotaging peace.
It's rigged: condemned for passivity, persecuted for taking action.
This is Pahlavi Dynasty treatment of Kurds:
• Reza Shah (The Founder): Used brutal military campaigns to disarm tribes and assassinated key leaders like Simko Shikak. He attempted to erase Kurdish culture by banning their language and traditional dress, while forcing nomadic families into "sedentarization" (forced settlement) to break their social structures.
• Mohammad Reza Shah (The Son): Crushed the short-lived Republic of Mahabad in 1946 and publicly executed its leader, Qazi Muhammad. He later used his secret police, SAVAK, to torture and imprison Kurdish activists.
• The 1975 Betrayal: In a cynical power move, the Shah supported Iraqi Kurds to spite Baghdad, then abruptly abandoned them after signing a treaty with Saddam Hussein, leaving the Kurdish resistance to be decimated.
@tparsi@RStatecraft Let’s be real, she represents Iraq, not the struggling Kurdish people. Her views don't carry weight here. Stop trying to weigh in on Kurdistan and get back to the DC lobbying work you're actually on the clock for.
The 700km gap doesn't matter as much as you'd think when the adversary is the same. Whether it's the KRG, Rojava, or now across the border in Iran, the Kurds have consistently been the ones actually doing the heavy lifting against CT threats. Ignoring that overlap feels like missing the forest for the trees.
@MahyarTousi That’s a bit of an extreme label of calling us “enemy”. We see this as a journey of reclaiming what is naturally ours. We believe everyone is entitled to their own land and heritage by divine right
New war, old partnership.
America knows who it can trust in Iraq, Syria, and, now, Iran.
The Kurds have earned America’s full and enduring respect. Congress must codify that respect with recognition and special consideration for military protection, economic development, and visa programs.
If activating the Kurdish militias against the Iranian regime is the decision, the U.S. must not waiver under pressure from regional capitals nor abandon Kurdish partners. “Temporary and transactional” will not suffice, this time.

"Exactly • We the Kurds already proved that we can crush fanatical jihadist armies like ISIS in Rojava — with 11,000+ martyrs, we broke the so-called caliphate to their last stronghold in Baghuz, Syria when almost no one else would stand up. The IRGC might have more hardware on paper, but they're facing the same determined fighters who defended Kobani and liberated Raqqa. If Kurdish forces in Rojhelat (and allies) get proper support, history can repeat itself. No Pasdaran terror squad is invincible. Solidarity with the Kurds. A big but, is we need world leaders to recognize us as a nation with a Greater Kurdistan spot in the UN.
