A million more refugees on the way.
Ah, but they say no evacuation, trust them, all is well and normal. /s
the people of that region only understand force. They do not appreciate or want a democracy of any type.
The night that they broadcast the invasion into Kuwait, led by ‘Stormin’ Norman’ my then-husband and I just hugged one another and shed tears.
We KNEW life for us in Military Mode was going to suck for the next DECADE, and we also KNEW that fighting with these generational, warring goat-fockers was fruitless. We KNEW it was going to cost untold BILLIONS in American Treasure and Blood.
Unfortunately, we were RIGHT!
And here we go again! @#$%^&*!
Sounds like the same old Baghdad to me. 😏
There’s a landing zone within the Embassy compound. Helicopters go in and out of there several times throughout the day. Every day.
Don’t worry, Biden will get right on it after his ice cream and nap.
While Ukraine focuses on Kherson and are ground to a halt, the Russians focus on taking Kharkov. Also, with this one in Iraq, it appears that the IRCG, Russians and Chinese are involved.
Next embassy after Iraq is the US embassy in Kiev.
Folks...
Most likely not what you think. Even if it’s Iran that is meddling, backing Sadr (what we will claim) you need to realize Iran is in close ties with Russia.
Outside of our fortress in Europe, Japan, Australia and South Korea, the world is far more unstable than most think.
When we decided to screw with the Russians, there were going to be consequences.
We just choose to ignore them.
I would not be surprised to read about a Verba bringing down a US helicopter there in the near future. What goes around... Now it’s our turn to eat...
Screwing with the Russians like we did, will have GLOBAL security and economic implications.
And it was all for a gamble where we thought we could make the cost too high and basically lie and cheat (Minsk agreement) regards Ukraine and still make them a NATO member despite what we promised and Russia has stated is a “no go” for them since 1994.
IMHO- the Biden administration was looking for a quick victory where they can point towards some accomplishment other than Afghanistan. Ukraine was a gamble and politically expedient (EU and US economic interests want this), and it too was a colossal failure like Afghanistan, only we do not see it such nor does Biden get the full credit he deserves.
Pathetic weakness.
Jimmy Carter looking good.
Thank you George W Bush, Colin Powell and Dick Cheney! This is what your Iraq war based on false intelligence resulted in. This is how trusting in the US government will end!
