"Hey. So, we started a war, not knowing you were gonna, y'know, fight back. It'd be super nice if you could stop hitting us long enough to run away. Kthxbai."
Admin to US:
"We're winning so fucking HARD right now. Just don't look outside. Trust me bro. You're winning your fucking ass off."
Wait what's happening in Iraq???
The US started a war with Iran and is losing so bad that they are abandoning their presence in neighboring countries.
But yeah, the news you watch says your winning. Does this look like winning?
the news you watch says your winning.
Dafuck? I know what's happening in Iran, why are you implying I'm some kind of rightoid trump supporter? And why so combative?
I'm not a Trump supporter, I'm a communist lol. I've been lightly following the Iran war since the start and yeah obviously it's a quagmire at best. My question was about a different country called Iraq though.
What I didn't know is NATO still had a presence in Iraq? Why? The War on Terror was supposedly done two decades ago now. I know it took them longer to pull out than that but still?
Not knowing & understanding how many countries USA empire conquered is a major fail in common knowledge overall (overall I mean, not you specifically).
One could argue that WWII ended so why are there USA military bases in Europe (with USA jurisdiction, even USA-confronted nuclear weapons). One would assume allies support each other's by supporting each other's capabilities etc, not try to economically exploit by forcing to use the empire's systems via military & political pressure etc.
I am aware of all those things, but specifically not the occupation of Iraq.
The fact that you don't know that the UN and US are still occupying Iraq is what I based my assessment on.
I did not have the slightest idea of that yeah, but why would that demonstrate any political leanings whatsoever? Per the upvote count it looks like a lot of people ITT were also not aware of this?
Iran is targeting the US presence in Iraq.
Why does the US have a """presence""" in Iraq 20 years later?
Evil empire shit 🙃
Yeah
The entire iran war situation is ridiculous. What the fuck is even going on in Iraq now?
If this is true, this is the second time Trump surrenders to Islamist groups (first being in Afghanistan). So much winning.
God its all so stupid
