It's all about that "oil".

Iranians voted on that last night and the idiot is being himself. Imagine the picture of him sitting with his arms folded and holding his breath.

The Iraqi parliament already voted for US troops to leave. Then Trump stated he was going to levy the strongest sanctions ever on Iraq.

What could go wrong? We have thousands of troops scattered across Iraq and Trump is going to ignore their vote for us to leave and at the same time put harsh sanctions on Iraq.

He is fucking shit up at such a rapid rate you can't even begin to track it all.

Iraq cannot stand by and embarrass themselves by acting helpless and inept in the face of Trumpy's aggressive bullying. They'll have to respond. They'll start an insurgent war against the occupiers. It will be asymmetrical. They'll pepper the occupiers with missiles and bombings. They'll more closely align with Iran and, indirectly, Russia, to obtain munitions and weapons. While the Hair-fluffed ignoramus has whisper conversations with the leader of Russia, believing that they're best buds. Trumpy will have to squander his military resources by attempting to occupy the Iraqi government and take over Iraq, because Iraq has its own agenda apart from their erstwhile co-operative agreement with the US. Iraq will side with Iran, and that alignment will be long-term. THIS is what's in store for the US and Trumpy.

Putin has Trumpy wrapped around his little finger, and Trumpy doesn't know whether he's coming or going. Putin supports Iran and Trumpy believes that Putin supports HIM. Both can't be true, and Trumpy is too crazy to recognize the truth.

Russia getting bogged down in Afghanistan, bringing down the Soviet government. Putin lures Trump, or at least looks on with delight at Trump's screw up with Iran, foreseeing even more US bog down in the ME, while Russia benefits in oil price increases, arms sales, and increased world stature as US stature declines.

I read elsewhere that the Iraqi Prime Minister recently resigned. The eviction notice needs to be signed. I expect Trump to install a puppet.

He us still PM until new elections are held.

Or will Trump threaten him?

And we become subject to international sanctions. The entire region will turn against us. We will eventually have to leave and lose influence and power in the region.

Putin will expand his reach and become a power broker.

Win-win-win. Are you tired of winning yet? Putin isn't.

This ain't no international coalition anymore.
