I was gonna ask the same question

LoL, the current Iraqi regime is in bed with Iran, a proxy actually.

 

[Doritos11]

Those are just air defence systems, defensive equipment.

As Iraq is buying the same type of weaponry from 2 sources the other source will most likely be an S300 version from Russia.

You cannot wait till there is a threat to build up the military, besides that we have threats in every direction and neighbour, proxy wars, terrorism. neighbours that violate the countries law and
interfere taking advantage of its military weakness.

Yes, but why don't they make the entire order in one-sale request? :/ a bit vague, isn't it?

They request deals each period of time, they can do it all in 1 but it does not matter so much

I guess it does matter, but anyway, no biggy.

Who knew, Iraq has joined the club and turned into a slave for America.

The only people who aren't included in this club are labeled 'terrorists'. It has nothing to do with their human rights record.

Ahh...man, this is too funny.

Usually those countries allied with the US go the right direction. I prefer an alliance with them over the eastern blocks only they restrict us too much advanced weaponry.

Hawk instead of patriot.
m1a1 instead of m1a2.

So are we an Iranian proxy or a US proxy now...

Depending on the Gov't People can't be proxies.

Also Iraq imports most products from Turkey, Iraq is Turkeys 2nd largest importer (even excluding KRG ). If the government was a proxy of Iran for sure most of Iraqs imports would come from Iran.

No, that's a very immature assumption. You can still be friendly with both, trade with them at the same time, but you will never compromise with Turkey over Iran, Erdogan's remarks are enough to counter a claim like this^

Erdogan interferes in internal affairs, Syria and Iraq. He violates law and is a hypocrite. 1 of the reasons the military gear is needed to keep him from doing all that.

Besides if Iraq was an Iranian proxy as you claim, which is usual among a certain group of people. You should like these arms purchases as it would reduce Irans influence and power in the country. But IMO your all confused, neither do I know the truth. You just have an assumption.
