Last year, US abandoned Kurds to get slaughtered by Turkey and ISIS. Also happened in Trump 1st term, where Kurds in Syria where forced to ask Russia for help to stop Turkish attacks.

This post is mixing a real warning with a misleading explanation of what it actually means.
The poster being shared is part of a warning from authorities in the UAE during the current regional conflict and missile exchanges involving Iran. Officials have been urging residents not to spread rumors, panic, or unverified footage online while the situation is ongoing. The penalties mentioned , prison and fines starting around 200,000 AED, come from the country’s cybercrime laws that punish spreading false information or content that could threaten public safety or contradict official announcements.
The reason this is being emphasized right now is because there has been a flood of videos online showing missile interceptions, explosions, and other strike-related events across the region. Authorities worry that posting those clips can spread misinformation, create public panic, or reveal sensitive security information like where air defenses are operating or where strikes landed.
That context matters, because the tweet makes it sound like Dubai simply throws people in prison for filming an attack. That’s not really what the warning says. The focus is on sharing unverified information, rumors, or sensitive footage during a security crisis. Governments in many countries place restrictions on publishing military or strike-related footage during wartime for similar reasons, including operational security and preventing panic.
You can debate whether those laws are too strict, the UAE does have much tighter speech and media rules than many Western countries but presenting this poster as proof that “filming attacks in Dubai gets you two years in prison” strips away the actual context of what authorities are warning about during the current conflict.
In short, the poster is real, but the way it’s being framed in this tweet oversimplifies and distorts what it’s actually referring to.
