Is it a Vietnam type evacuation?

I see several videos in the thread and lots of comments of “were are the images”. Some serious trolling going on. “I need images, sorry videos don’t count.”

The US will be remembered in history as the country that was most successful with military invasions but did not know how to conquer effectively. The Romans and Mongols could do both.

I believe it is related to Sadr.
Iraq's powerful Sadr says he quits politics, clashes erupt in Baghdad

I have never seen Jack Posobiec report news that was easy to verify.

That may be true but if this story is true it’s a pretty big deal

I do not know if Jack’s summary of what is happening there is correct or not. However, he generally has a pretty good track record and seems to have good sources. He has broken many stories and is usually ahead of the news curve on stuff like this.

It would not surprise me that Iran has taken over much of the national police in Iraq as well as the military because the Iraqi’s who are Shia (about 60% I believe) are aligned with Iran. Iran has stated their desire to drive us from Iraq and the Middle East and our footprint in Iraq is very small - theirs has been growing for years.

I won’t be surprised if Iraq becomes a disaster area with Dirty Joe Diddler in charge. He has always been a complete idiot who is as dumb as a stump. Before he’s done he will create many more disasters.
