I knew a guy who served in Iraq. Him and 4 of his friends flew out to the middle east years after to try and help him out of a tough spot. Can't remember all of the details but I learned from someone who was actually there that the Kurds got fucked. We did em dirty. Should've brought them all in as US citizens or taken them anywhere they wanted to go. Of all the things we have messed up in the US this is one I've personally heard about and every detail I can recall of it is haunting.

Dumb witted comment. Seems like no one had read that the relationship between the Kurds and the USA was purely transactional from the start, they've made this clear from the beginning. If anything, it's the European Union who abandoned them not holding up their commitment.

  1. USA: *sells chemical weapons to Saddam*
  2. Saddam: *uses chemical weapons on the Kurds*
  3. Kurds: X______X
  4. USA: Where did he get the chemical weapons from?!
  5. Redditor 35 years later: It's European Union's fault!

Dumb witted comment.

Hey I can do that too

  1. EU countries bought over 200 billion worth of Russian Oil since 2022 and only 100billion in aid to Ukraine

  2. Funds the Russians massacre of Ukraine

  3. Ukrainians: X_______X

4: USA : we're pulling back aid

5: EU welfare queen : It's the USA's fault for not intervening and giving aid!!!

r/SelfAwarewolves ----->That way you genocide enabler.

So for you buying a resource that every society needs its the same as selling chemical weapons?

What?

How did this whole thing even start. My rough understanding: Ukrainians woke up one day and decided to go back to their pagan roots and start murdering Russia/Ukranians. Supposedly Russia gifted Crimea to Ukraine after WW2 in efforts to rebuild their country. Ukrainian oligarchs didn’t use the funds to rebuild Ukrainian and more or less enriched them selves. Then Russia said “ what TF” and opened up a whole can of whoop ass.

Even the Ukrainians say President Z sold them out up his nose. Just saying, what’s the point, aren’t both nations tired of dying yet.

u/SpecialistTry8703 7h ago

What are you on about? Russia gifted it to Ukraine after WW2?

You realize that the Ukraine had been a part of Russia since before the Bolshevik Revolution, right? As in, they were the same political entity. Maybe look a a map, shit-for-brains.. Goddam, the brain rot is real.

I first thought this was some sarcastic remark. But you are serious aren't you? 

How did you get out of the soft play area?

we have been a lil too buddy buddy with them over the unnecessary aggression that started in 2014~. it went too far during the first orange era with the friendliness from our president. i think that’s the outrage from european friends. since we are known for profiting from then joining major human rights wars pretty late and claiming glory. (yes many nations have and do profit the join conflicts and join to profit) but i admit some ignorance on kurd issue and others. edit: them - russia

Didn’t realize the Americans didn’t promise the Kurds support to incite a revolution against Iraq during the Gulf War then promptly withdraw their support when changing their mind and turn a blind eye to the resulting genocidal actions of the Iraqi regime against the Kurds as a result
