#Movie: Onkel Jens (2025). Young #Oslo schoolteacher doesn't speak the #Kurdish of his #Peshmerga parents very well. But when his uncle shows up in the middle of the night and apparently wants to stay indefinitely, the young man has to learn fast. Grade: good!

Maybe this is a dilemma I have to live with ...

I've always been impressed by Kurdish Pershmerga fighting against ISIS and especially by their women fighters

Now I found some pictures showing a kind of ceremony in which women Peshmerga fighters bite into dead snakes and rabbits to tear off the flesh

On the one hand I'm disgusted by the violence against animals, on the other hand it is hard for me to judge people who had to fight so bravely to defend their home and their loved ones and who did drudgery for western countries in the fight against ISIS

#Iraq 🇮🇶: A quite uncommon #Canada-made 🇨🇦 North Eastern Arms NEA-15 10.5" CQB rifle is currently on sale in #Basrah for $3200.

The Serial Number of the rifle appears to be "KRG00749".
It is seemingly originated & leaked from #Peshmerga stocks in #Kurdistan Reg Gov.

#Iraq 🇮🇶: #ISIS militants have recently released a 47-minute video which displays some of their noteable weapons.

Militants use rare Heckler & Koch G36 rifle with ZF 3x4 sight (captured from #Peshmerga in #KRG), Russian ORSIS T-5000 sniper rifle and Iranian AM-50 'Sayyad' anti-materiel rifle.
