Ядерний удар по Ірану: Вілкерсон заявив про можливу згоду Трампа

THE IRAQ WAR COST TRILLIONS. NOW AMERICA LEAVES AS ISRAEL WEIGHS ESCALATION. The U.S. withdrawal deadline arrives today, September 30, ending more than two decades of American military involvement in Iraq. Washington says Iraqi forces, including the Peshmerga, can now lead the fight against ISIS. Iran-backed militias see an opening. They demand a total U.S. exit from Iraqi land and airspace, guarantees that America will not return, and changes to the status of the Peshmerga. Iraq’s Iran-aligned militias are expected to remain armed. Tehran already wields major political, economic, and military influence inside the country, which sits at the center of the region between Iran, Syria, Turkey, and the Gulf. The U.S. has seen this pattern before. After withdrawing in 2011, America used ISIS to reintroduce U.S. forces back into the country. ISIS lost its territorial control by 2017. The Iraq War devastated Iraq, cost the United States trillions, and took countless lives. America cannot keep treating endless military involvement as a solution to the instability its own intervention helped create. Washington must resist the cycle: invade, occupy, withdraw, then return when the collapse it feared becomes reality. Iraq’s future belongs to Iraqis, not the Pentagon, Tel Aviv, or any foreign power. America must not use Iraq’s instability as an excuse for another open-ended war. The lesson of the last 20 years is not that the U.S. should stay forever. Wars launched without a sustainable political outcome create consequences long after troops leave. Col. Lawrence Wilkerson breaks this down.
