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.

    “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.

        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.
