Originally posted by seanD View PostI found this line interesting and ironic: "It is not interested in a direct war with the U.S., nor are any of its proxies or allies in the region." Wasn't the claim (before we found out it was an apparent lie or at least filled with inconsistent info) that he would use terrorist proxies to attack US forces?
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by seanD View PostThey're demanding US withdrawal as we speak. Instead Trump threatened them with sanctions. I don't think he did it as an out, I think he did it because he was pressured by the senators like that article reported. That just makes more sense to me. And there's no more reason Trump will order a pullout in Iraq than in Afghanistan. He doesn't have the backbone to go up against the MIC and hawks in Washington that prostitute for them (even less now that they have that impeachment noose around his neck). And now, because tensions are heightened, US troops are even more vulnerable than before. But... no war lol.
Originally posted by seanD View PostSo the argument is that since their great mastermind got killed, the proxies are supposed to magically stand down even though they're more ticked off than they were before about us occupying the region, and that they also know they now have the Iraqi parliament on their side? Makes total senseRemember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

I suppose the love affair between the leftists and this "beloved general" has gotten lost in all the impeachment hoopla?
Doesn't sound much like a deescalation. Or maybe it's Trump playing 4-d chess
