Iraq just voted to remove all US troops from their country. Who exactly do you think is going to fill that power vacuum?

Or you look at is as > Trump doesn't want to be there anyways, now he can leave without being labelled as 'abandoning the iraqis'... Place goes to shit, he says told ya so.. Iran moves in and they advance on Isreal (which by then has more US troops stationed since they still want numbers in the ME.. Jordan may expect some too? ) Something then happens and sets off a major spat.. USA drops loads (..of bombs)

This could play out several ways. And some of them are only going to end in the eventual glassification of some desert sand should iran push its luck.

So... safe to travel to Egypt in a few weeks?

This means NATOs training mission is effectively over considering they cant do shit without US basing infrastructure. Looks like Canadians are also coming home, or at least going to Kuwait.

Wait a second - this means the Americans are finally pulling out of Iraq after what, 4 presidential terms and almost 20 years of illegal occupation?

Maybe turnip man planned this all along?

Hence why Trump is now threatening Iraq with sanctions if they expel the US troops. A stable genius indeed...

The US withdrew all its troops from Iraq in 2011. They re-entered at the request of the Iraq government in 2015 to help fight ISIS and stabilize the region.

They need to come together shake hands and create a new nation, Iraz.

Who cares.. I'm white and have been pulled inside and questioned for a while too. If they want to be free to roam from country to country without impediment, they can head back to the old country - their borders seem pretty loose.

If I had to guess, Trump simply did this to solidify the military industrial complex and its ties with Republican senators. It does not matter now if he plays nice with Democrats, that line has already been crossed - might as well solidify the side that is not against you.

So technically, there was no reason to take out a general as an actual "invasion policy" - this is simply a distraction noodle. Which is pretty much exactly what I would have done. I mean, there are a heck of a lot of really mean people in the greater world. Taking out one or two to appease a country based on strength through militarism only makes sense.
