Reminder that Iraq has formally asked US to withdraw the occupation forces previously and US continues to refuse.
The US established a puppet government in Afghanistan that collapsed immediately. And the US now clearly has no friends in the Iraqi government it propped up.
I for one I’m delighted at this outcome. Had the US won and surrounded Iran with puppets, Iran would be in trouble now.
There is real hope that US might finally get kicked out of the Middle East once and for all.
“struck areas used by pro-iran forces” weird way of saying killed and wounded more than 20 iraqis living in iraq
The Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah forms part of the Hashd al-Shaabi, a coalition of former paramilitary forces that are now integrated into Iraq’s regular armed forces.
To be fair, if you are on the receiving end of airstrikes chances are pretty high they’re not trying to make friends with you.
To be fair, US could just stop occupying Iraq if it doesn’t like having airstrikes directed against them.
For sure, nobody is smelling like roses in this one. If we spent half as much effort trying to get along rather than blow each other up, this world would be a much better place.
US has convinced itself and many of the most powerful nations (ie the West) that it is China that is trying to “take over other nations” or otherwise control them by “expanding their empire.” Even though they are not, and are anti-imperialist. Or how places like Cuba aren’t allowed to be traded with due to their “oppressive governments.” But the US is still somehow the “good guys” and should just be allowed to patrol the whole world by land, air, sea, and space. That it is allowed to strike and occupy other nations without any approval by said nations. Oh and it is also somehow fair or good that even if all other nations in the UN vote one way that the US can stop a democratic vote by voting the other way.
Just love how this is what US lead democracy for the world works. /s
