🚨 Diego Maradona in 2018 after hearing the USA would host the 2026 World Cup:
"They will divide the game into four halves instead of two to insert advertisements. Compare it, you will see."
🚨 IF TRUMP WAS MISLED, HE SHOULD LOOK AT TOM BARRACK
The Kurdish people are not one man, one faction, or one network.
They are a nation of more than 50 million people, many of whom fought and died alongside the United States against ISIS and Iran-backed forces.
If weapons were withheld or promises were broken, then the problem is not “the Kurds.”
The problem is that Washington trusted the wrong intermediaries and the wrong people on the ground.
Tom Barrack and those around him should answer for who they chose to rely on.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio shakes up the briefing room as he fills in for Karoline Leavitt while she's out on maternity leave.
Rubio poked fun at reporters — but also admitted he was a bit overwhelmed.
Some standout lines from his debut show the pressure of hosting a White House press briefing:
- "They get two questions for these? ... You can ask me two questions, I'll give you one answer."
- "This is chaos."
- "I wish I had a dice."
- "Did I call on you already?"
- "I need to get a laser pointer."
- "You're not ready for my DJ name."

A U.S. State Department spokesperson told K24: "The U.S. government strongly condemns the hundreds of attacks in recent weeks by Iran-aligned militia groups... including in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region." #Kurdistan#K24
If this isn't blatant oppression and a targeted assault on Kurdistan rooted in fear, systemic racism, and deep seated resentment then what else could it possibly be?
Since the start of this War, the #Kurds have remained neutral. Their land has never been used to launch attacks against #Iran, nor have they posed any threat to its security.
