Can you remind us what Trump threatened on Twitter before Iran's response? And what did Trump do in the end after 10-15 Iranian ballistic missiles rained down on terrorist US soldiers in Iraq, injuring 110 of them (several dozen seriously and permanently injured, with one quickly killing himself to end his suffering)?Trump went further by assassinating Soleimani - thus, daring the Iranians to openly draw American blood. Expectedly, the Mullahs backed down.
Iraq is 65% Shia and the PMU/PMF are huge, battle tested and extremely well armed. These "militias" cannot be destroyed so easily.The US wants a civil war in Iraq that destroys Iran's militias and fosters the growth of terrorists that threaten Tehran. The first attempt with ISIS faile, but I'm sure the US is preparing a second one.
Of course, the USA wants to incite civil war across the region to pursue its own objectives.It appears the Americans want to first weaken Iran's proxies severely, especially Hezbollah, before sparking a civil war in Iraq. It's not a coincidence that both Lebanon and Iraq are close to descending into full chaos.
Sometimes I really have to laugh at the quality of 'military analysis' offered by supposed experts hereThe 2 carrier group would make mince meat of these rebel and their missile launcher.
I think the Americans are still looking for Saddam's SCUD TELs in Iraq
