| Darwinianevolution said: The US not knowing the operation about Solemini is understandable. When chasing a terrorist, you don't announce it to the public beforehand, that's just warning him and giving him time to run and hide. This being a secret project close to the upper echelons of the US' military is natural, especially considering it happened on international soil. And about Trump getting flack... let's be honest, it's Trump we're talking about. Whether you think it's warranted or not, he's been getting heat for everything he's done even before he got elected. He could bring world peace and somehow get as much flack as if he had started WWIII. The one thing I find interesting about this is Iraq asking the coalition's forces to leave. This is just me, but I feel this is just a momentary request (they can just ask for it and delay the exit enough to let it slide after everyone forgets about it). After all, there is no lost love between Iraq and Iran, and the fact that Soleimini was organizing terrorist cells within their country has certainly done nothing to make them feel more secure. Asking the US to take their forces away from their country seems only reasonable in a very superficial level, but Iraq is not a stable country, and wasn't really capable of fending off the many forces that participated in the civil war of 2014 without external aid, and I'm sure they realize it. |
Are you serious with the first paragraph? I have to ask because I don't believe for a second you are as this comes across as coy especially with the context you've been replying in The US refers to congress, intelligence etc... Are you seriously telling me you believe those people would have announced the action to the world? Non of them were informed that's why he's getting flack you know why they need to be informed? So he can be advised on his actions otherwise you get political chaos like what has happened now, all of the US' allies have distanced themselves from the act even the Saudis with the only ally who supports it saying they won't touch any conflict with a barge pole meaning US would be with out allies in the war which also means you can't deploy from bases in said allies land this is why Trump has done a u-turn and is getting flack.
They asked US to leave because if a war breaks out guess who would have been the first to be invaded by Iran and who would become the battle ground for the war? They don't want a target on their backs you see the war in Afghanistan and how it's still going 18 years after it started with the US now trying to get out that's what Iraq would be dealing with should these two have a war this is why as long as conflict is a possibility they don't want US troops there.
