Iraq: Nasr al-Shimmari, Deputy Secretary General of the Al-Nujaba Movement:
– the Americans cannot change the equations in Iraq
– the Americans have no choice but to withdraw from Iraq or stay and endure the losses that will be inflicted on their forces
– we bless the operations targeting the Americans and the resistance is devising the appropriate methods that will force them to leave
– the U.S. forces in Iraq are occupying forces and targeting them by the resistance will escalate day by day
– the operations of the resistance are characterized by secrecy, and there is a unified decision among the resistance forces (factions) to confront the American forces
– the government is an executive – and not a legislative – entity, and (thus) cannot prevent the resistance from targeting the American (forces)
– Iran is a friend of all the resistance forces, but the main (side) concerned with confronting the American obstinacy in Iraq are the Iraqis (themselves)
– Washington did not take the initiative to help Iraq confront ISIS by using the pretext that this is was an ‘internal matter’ and not an external attack
– the Americans and the British want to put their (military) forces in areas (of Iraq) where they think the resistance will not (be able to) target them
– Turkish forces invaded Iraqi territory and bombed positions in Iraq and we did not see any American action (in response)
– Neither the prime minister nor the government has the authority to bring foreign troops to Iraq, especially after the parliament’s decision
– We hope that the actions of Al-Kadhimi and his government will be in the interest of Iraq, and we affirm that the future of the country depends on (it attaining its) freedom
– The Americans only understand the language of force and resistance is the only weapon capable of getting them out of Iraq
– resistance had given way for (the path) of dialogue and the implementation of the parliament’s decision for U.S. forces to leave (but that failed)
We’ve been hearing this kind of talk for how long now ? Give it up Iraq, you’re done.
What does that mean, ‘done’?
I was hearing that Iraq was done when ISIS was ravaging there. As it turned out, ISIS was ‘done’.
If by done you mean chaos, then who’s to say American forces don’t get massacred in the chaos, and ballistic missiles won’t be launched towards Saudi Arabia and even Israel, in the chaos?
There is no accountability in chaos. And it was through the chaos wrought by ISIS that the resistance ended up on top in Syria.
The US grip on Iraq is tenuous at best. The US grip on the USA isn’t so tight right now either.
Remember the American Revolution? In 1775 it had been going on for 20 years; the colonists had lost every battle that was fought, and looked like having their work cut out just to avoid being hanged for treason.
In one more year it was all over. (Admittedly with the French doing all the heavy lifting).
The Iraqis have a far better and more justified case than the American colonists had. Their country was violently invaded for no good reason at all; literally millions of their compatriots were murdered by the invaders; and the latter settled down as if they meant to occupy Iraq for ever.
In sharp contrast most of the American rebels were British subjects – Washington, for example, would have been quite legally tried and hanged for treason had he been captured. They were rebelling against their own government, without whose help and support they could never have established permanent colonies in North America.
” They were rebelling against their own government, without whose help and support they could never have established permanent colonies in North America. ”
The ” Iraqi ” government recently raided some PMU bases and arrested people. Not to mention the traitorous ” Iraqi ” Kurds. It seems to me this already a civil war.
The real war is against the US and its craven lackeys. Everything else is a distraction.
@ Tom Welsh
“… They were rebelling against their own government, without whose help and support they could never have established permanent colonies in North America. …”
True.
And then, upon succeeding in their treasonous insurrection, they continued with élan their massive murderous spree slaughtering the American Indians. The genocide whose magnitude is unparalleled in the entire human history! Robbing the land from the indigenous people of North America all the way to the Pacific Ocean (before going beyond, to continue their handy work to the inhabitants of Pacific islands).
Over 100 million (!) native Indians murdered – men, women, children.
Historian John Toland says on page 202 of his book “Adolf Hitler”:
“… Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination – by starvation and uneven combat – of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity. …”
Etc…
No disrespect here but the U.S. population wasnt even 100 million until after 1910.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_the_United_States
And furthermore, it was said that the Indians couldnt be domesticated, one could not civilize them into society, and as such were not an equal to the white invaders. I mean lets face it, they had not even been able to take advantage of the wheel even though it had been invented long before the arrival of the white man.
And yet they had survived into the 17th century just like the white man.
How does one measure superiority? Needing the wheel to survive, or not needing it?
Also, go check out the wasteland that is Iraq, the cradle of our civilization. Civilization had turned that land into a dreadful hell before the modern age even began. The culture of Native Americans did not destroy their land.
The fact that the Native Americans resisted the civilization of the white man is testament to their deep understanding, if anything.
@ Alabama
The data you cite here is fully irrelevant to the topic at hand, namely the magnitude of the genocide of American Indians at the hands of white Pindos: even the table in your link clearly says “… Note that the U.S. Census numbers do not include American Indian natives before 1860 …”.
Shallow vaguely racist argument, but why would Native Americans bother inventing the wheel when there was no large domesticated animals available to them to make use of said wheels. Really what a silly post.

“Off topic Folks. Please take any further commentary on this subject to the MFC. The Mod. (Psst. Horses.)”
Please read your history. On what basis did you say the American Revolutionary War began 20 years before 1775? Yes by the end of the war they were struggling and in 1778 and 1779 the French and Spanish joined the Americans, thus helping to secure the win. The war began in April 1775 and ended in 1783. It did not begin in 1755. There was civil unrest beginning at that time as the colonies were being mistreated by King George III and the general government of England and of the colonies. The rights and freedoms the Americans were accustomed to as free Englishmen were being trampled on and abused. King George III and England regarded Americans as not much better than slaves. The Americans spent years going through the proper channels and the courts to appeal their case before the King and Parliament, but to no avail. They felt the only choice they had left was to either submit to the abusive treatment by England and give up their freedoms and God given rights as human beings or secede from England and form a new nation. England didn’t like the idea very much and therefore we had a war.
The America you know, the one every one hates, is not the America of the 1700’s—early 1900’s. America has forgotten who they are and have been taken over by ungodly powers who keep the flag waving, but sell the souls of our people for foreign money. The empire parasite has eaten through the liberty tree and now there is nothing left but a crumbling shell of what once was.
LOL! So much for the “liberation” phase of the operation, eh? As none other than the immortal Rummy said afterward, “Freedom’s untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things. They’re also free to live their lives and do wonderful things. And that’s what’s going to happen here.”
I wonder how he’d characterize recent events in the country he was instrumental in “freeing?” Of course the old bastard has long since cashed out for all his nefarious war crimes, so you’d probably only draw a blank stare (and perhaps a bit of drool) if you asked him anything.
It seems the heat is going up a notch still.
All is going according to a global script.
The IAEA european attack against Iran in June.
Was a declaration of war. And was taken as it by Iran.

It has been followed by act of sabotage in Iran.
And Iran turning up the fire in Yemen with more pain full strike than recognized by KSA.
The Caesar act is clear economic blockade of Syria and Lebanon.
Meanwhile threat are flying

“If Suez Canal Blocks Iran’s Aid Ships to Lebanon & Syria, Strait of Hormuz Will Be Closed: Report”
China is going out of the wood for once with the Iran deal.
The US send carriers group in China sea and talk about illegal presence of China there. (!)
And Russia is advancing drill.

It seems the road toward US election will be treacherous.
We are clearly seing the tension escalating.
USA relation with China is entering cold war status for good.
The ME proxy wars in ME are dangerously getting close to open AZ wars.
My take is that the Anglo zionists have a losing hands.
Just as China slowly and quietly economically sucked up the West dry under the radar thanks to western liberal capitalists idiots.
Iran also has quietly benefitted from the erroneous policies of Zionists idiot in the ME and consolidated that position.
Iran and proxies just as China have meticulously planned and carefully treaded the line.
The west has has lost primacy. Only Eastern powers need to claim their share by putting the last nails in coffin of self inflicted western decadence and corruption.
The takedown of the Hegemon requires Resistance, geopolitics, multi-polar coordination and measures for response, the range of weapons from IEDs, missiles, rockets, cyber and sabotage.
And throughout the timeline of the Resistance vs Hegemon, diplomacy and Information war to keep the pressure on.
The US has never left a war until it suffered unacceptable losses. So far, these long wars since 9-11 have managed losses so the public has not turned against the military.
Sadly, some massive casualties and machine losses have to occur.
Sadly, some massive casualties and machine losses have to occur.
“No free lunch in this world,” as they say. The truly sad part is that rather than take all those casualties and materiel losses (never mind the senseless chaos and destruction they sow overseas, which will persist for decades after we’re gone), the US could simply begin cutting its losses right now and get out of all these idiotic overseas entanglements if only the American Sheeple would wake up and reject this madness, especially in the midst of epic chaos right here at home. But obviously, that’s not going to happen. It’s nothing but hard lessons all the way down from here, apparently.
The US along with its UK puppy are marching right up to and about to step over the line to war in multiple regions. And the disgusting EU goes along with most of it.
The bottom line as I see it: The US has met its match in the coalescing multifarious East. The US and its Anglosphere and EU vassals combined military might cannot neutralize, subdue, or defeat the Russia/China alliance. The US is leading a fools parade.
The recent agreement between China and Iran shows that China has had enough of western perfidy and is starting to move. The US may eventually realize that they made a one in five hundred year massive strategic blunder in threatening China to flex its muscles. They didn’t heed Napoleon’s warning about China.
The US cyberwar on Russia, China, and Iran is picking up speed. Like they did with Stuxnet the US and Israel are increasing cyber attacks on Iran. The US has vastly diminished oversight on CIA cyber attack operations so we are back to the 1950’s when the CIA started wars that the Pentagon would carry on with. The ghost of Dulles is on the move.
Russia and China both have a very capable cyber security and offensive capability. They both have Stuxnet like code on the shelf ready to activate against as US that is a sitting duck. Iran is also very capable of cyber offense. The American people don’t know what is coming at them – they are totally unprepared for the collapse of utilities and services that will make Covid-19 look like a picnic. The cyberwar will spiral out of control and escalate beyond it.
We are staring into the abyss like Europe just before the start of WW1.
” or defeat the Russia/China alliance. ”
Except, unless this alliance is actually secret, I dont see either one of them getting involved if the other one is attacked. For instance, China in the South Sea. Do you believe Russia would commence military activities against ZioAmerica for that ? That would be Instant WW3.
If either is attacked by the US and its allies no military action by the other is required. But certainly intelligence and material resources will be provided by the other. Russia or China would not need to attack the US mainland. In fact they would draw the US forward into a meat grinder for extended US support and supply lines. What the Russia/China alliance means is that each will cover the back of the other. All US bases and navy within striking range will be destroyed with conventional weapons. They will leave it up to the demented US to push the nuclear button. There is no win for the US.
Well put Arius Armenian…….we sure are headed toward some sort of a finale, on many theaters. There is strong support for Armenia within Iran if the Azeri’s escalate. Iran can’t stand a Zionist Azerbaijan, when we know that a number of IDF Hermes drones have been downed by Iran over its territory, which flew in from either Baku and/ or Incirlik. You know whats going on…….In Syria, If the Israeli’s cross the line, there will be retaliation, and constant and growing Iranian entrenchment in the SyRaq. Iran’s placed its chess pieces all the way up to the Golan…..If the Israeli’s take the bait and start a fight, then it will be used as an excuse to bombard them full on from multiple directions, whilst Iran stays a 1000 km’s away from the action….lol…. At the end of the day, it is Israel which will be the loser, when the Israeli people realize that they ain’t safe when a million rockets blast their parking lot of a country into rubble! Many will migrate out to safer ground.
I’m very glad to hear this. Loose commentary has asked, where is the initiative from Iraq to drive the occupier from its land? Now we see the answer.
Just as you or I, or any decent being, would give a fair chance of evacuation to any intruder, would give a chance to be decent to any criminal – not because we believe in their virtue but because we believe in virtue itself, above all things – just as we believe this, the Iraqis gave the US a chance to get out.
Not because anyone expected the US to become decent, or to feel the wind of change blowing, or to hear the message, but simply because decent people do this, and because decent people cannot NOT do this, the Iraqis gave their aggressors a chance to act in a civilized way.
Iraq, the cradle of civilization, gave the savage US imperialist a chance to leave with the gift of civilization, and without damage. It was refused.
And so now the US must leave, with damage. And the US will leave, with damage.
And we have already seen the ways in which the US will leave without retaliation. Iran has blazed this trail for all to see, in this very year of 2020. There is no doubt that the resistance has studied this weakness of the US, and brought it into its doctrine of war.
There will be no war waged by the US. The US will leave. This is already written.
