Some basic facts important to understanding the situation in Iraq.
Couple of additions:
- The largest US embassy in the world is in Baghdad at 104 acres (5X larger than the 2nd biggest)
- The leader of HTS (al Nusra / al Qaeda in Syria), Abu Mohammad al-Julani, was also in Camp Bucca
Regional geopolitics (my 2c):
- The power struggle in the region is tribal, between: Persians, Turks, Gulf Arabs & Zionist Jews - Syria & Iraq are naturally vassal states, caught in the middle of this tribal struggle
- The Zionists & Persians won the Iraq war
- The Turks & Persians won the Syria war
