Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. The only thing that should be in the news right now is the fact that Iraq is telling the US that the troops that Trump rashly removed from Syria without a plan and without a care to the consequences can’t stay in Iraq.

In other words, there was no plan and no SOFA in place to fight ISIS there. It was all done with haste and no consideration to the tactical or strategic implications of leaving the Kurds hanging out to dry while Turkey gets to do engage in ethnic cleansing and Kurds had to choose between survival and keeping the ISIS terrorists detained.

We are far worse off for this, and Trump doesn’t care. He’s a chaos agent, and all those actions continue to benefit Russia and others outside the US.

We don’t benefit from any of this.

So, where are those troops going if they can’t stay in Iraq? It isn’t home.

It’s likely to Saudi Arabia to protect the oil. Trump is MBS’s bitch. He’s using our military as a mercenary force, rather than protecting our strategic interests and containing the ISIS threat, all while stationing troops in the very country that gave rise to al Qaeda because… we stationed troops there during and after the first Gulf War.
