They’re making Iraq into a Ukraine and putting Amidi in Zelensky’s impossible position. It’s essentially loading the gun, and telling him to put it to his head and pull the trigger, while having another pointed at the base of his skull.
I don’t think it’s going to work in Iraq though. They don’t have the same history to work with as they did in Ukraine, and Americans are very hated there.
We’re about find out. A lot of states appear to be playing all sides against the middle.
The US has two problems basically, everybody knows that Israel is doing a genocide in Palestine, and that the war is by Israel and the US against Iran. There is no support for this from the public even in the west, so imagine what the situation is like in Iraq. On top of that, Iran has shown that the US can’t even protect their own assets, let alone their vassals. I think the most likely scenario is that the puppet regimes the US has been cultivating in the region are going to start to crumble.
They will crumble, it’s already beginning to happen. I’m just interested to see how individual states outside the West behave toward each other, when that happens.
That’s definitely going to be interesting to see.
