The USA is now at war, de-facto and de-jure,
with BOTH Iraq and Iran
By The Saker
The blowback has begun
January 05, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - First, let’s begin by a
quick summary of what has taken place (note: this info
is still coming in, so there might be corrections once
the official sources make their official statements).
- Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdl Mahdi has now
officially revealed that the US had asked
him to mediate between the US and Iran and
that General Qassem Soleimani to come and talk to
him and give him the answer to his mediation
efforts. Thus, Soleimani was on an OFFICIAL
DIPLOMATIC MISSION as part of a diplomatic
initiative INITIATED BY THE USA.
- The Iraqi Parliament has now voted on a
resolution requiring the government to press
Washington and its allies to withdraw their troops
from Iraq.
- Iraq’s caretaker PM Adil Abdul Mahdi said the
American side notified the Iraqi military about the
planned airstrike minutes before it was carried out.
He stressed that his government denied
Washington permission to continue with the
operation.
- The Iraqi Parliament has also demanded that the
Iraqi government must “work to end the presence
of any foreign troops on Iraqi soil and
prohibit them from using its land, airspace or water
for any reason“
- The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said that
Baghdad had turned to the UN Security Council with
complaints about US violations of its sovereignty.
- Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr
said the parliamentary resolution to end foreign
troop presence in the country did not go far enough,
calling on local and foreign militia groups
to unite. I also have confirmation
that the Mehdi Army is being re-mobilized.
- The Pentagon brass is now laying the
responsibility for this monumental disaster on Trump
(see
here). The are now slowly waking up to this
immense clusterbleep and don’t want to be held
responsible for what is coming next.
- For the first time in the history of Iran,
a Red Flag was hoisted over the Holy Dome Of
Jamkaran Mosque, Iran. This indicates that
the blood of martyrs has been spilled and that
a major battle will now happen.
The text in the flag says
“Oh Hussein we ask for your help”
(unofficial translation)
- The US has announced the deployment of
3’000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne to Kuwait.
- Finally, the Idiot-in-Chief tweeted the
following message, probably to try to
reassure his freaked out supporters: “The
United States just spent Two Trillion Dollars on
Military Equipment. We are the biggest and
by far the BEST in the World! If Iran
attacks an American Base, or any American, we will
be sending some of that brand new beautiful
equipment their way…and without hesitation!“.
Apparently, he still thinks that criminally
overspending for 2nd rate military hardware is going
to yield victory…
Analysis
Well, my first though when reading these bullet
points is that General Qasem Soleimani has
already struck out at Uncle Shmuel from beyond his grave.
What we see here is an immense political disaster
unfolding like a slow motion train wreck. Make no
mistake, this is not just a tactical “oopsie”, but a
major STRATEGIC disaster. Why?
For one thing, the US will now become an official and
totally illegal military presence in Iraq. This means
that whatever SOFA (Status Of Forces Agreement) the US
and Iraq had until now is void.
Second, the US now has two options:
- Fight and sink deep into a catastrophic quagmire
or
- Withdraw from Iraq and lose any possibility to
keep forces in Syria
Both of these are very bad because whatever option
Uncle Shmuel chooses, he will lost whatever tiny level
of credibility he has left, even amongst his putative
“allies” (like the KSA which will now be left nose to
nose with a much more powerful Iran than ever before). |
