According to the online editionLook"With reference to RIA NewsOn July 24, Iraq’s Vice President Nouri al-Maliki concluded negotiations with Federation Council Chairman Valentina Matvienko that “Russia has historically strong relations with Iraq.” Based on this in Baghdad, "we would like Russia to have a weighty presence in this country politically and militarily."

In Iraq, expressed the desire to see the military presence of the Russian Federation


In this way a balance would be created that will serve the good of the region, its people and its countries.


According to him, the authorities of the country have a desire to "strengthen cooperation in the field of energy, electricity, oil."

This also applies to scientific cooperation, scholarships, university training, in economics and trade, as well as in the political and military spheres.


First, during a meeting with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, Nuri al-Maliki appealed to Russian companies to invest in the economy of Iraq, "this applies primarily to energy."

Our interest is that friendly Russia be present in Iraq, thereby creating a balance. We do not want this equilibrium to be disrupted politically in favor of one or another external side. Now that we are done with ISIS [a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation], Iraq needs investments in energy and trade.

      It is necessary to strengthen cooperation between Russia and Iraq in the field of energy, electricity, oil, yes, but without a military presence.

        It will not work without a military ... In this region there is no other way to protect your investments, except by a powerful military presence and prompt and harsh response to threats and, in these circumstances, this is the only real way to maintain an elementary order there ... everything else - "grandmas in the wind" ...

          Offer now to fight the Kurds? Kirkuk’s oil fields are under their control, and Iraq’s army, after the worst losses near Mosul, is almost gone - and the Kurds want independence on 25 September! Here Iraqis are looking for fools who are ready to fight for their interests, for promises to share oil revenues

            This is where you read that I offer something? I just expressed the opinion that without a military presence in the region in which the legal field has been destroyed, there are no other ways to preserve their investments, and other interests.

            and the Kurds want independence to proclaim September 25!

            Who cares what the Kurds want? Yes, they effectively act against the IG, with the support of the Americans ... that's great, but what will lead to their self-determination? This will lead to a rupture and practical final destruction of Iraq as a state, with far-reaching consequences. in the prospect of an unpredictable redrawing of the entire Middle East. who needs it? Well, Kurds ... Well, Americans, who else? but besides them there are other interested players. at least Turkey and Iran ... and they are interested in everything to remain as it is ... No one needs a big war there ... and the Kurds with their state will be damned if it starts ... that's why they call Russia, because that the presence of another strong player, from the point of view of stabilization, is very desirable ..

                  And now they don’t like walking in a dollar collar.
                  We will trade. And let the Americans protect them from terrorists.
                  There is nothing for our troops to do there.
                  And our investments there also have nothing to do. After the USA, this is a black hole, no matter how much you invest, everything will burn.
                  We would rather invest in Syria and Iran, if we have money. At least these guys are ready to fight. And our budget is not bottomless, unlike the United States, we do not print pieces of paper issued for money

            It is not necessary to fight with the Kurds, but to support, for the destruction of Turkey is an archy task. If this Iraqi non-government wants to trade in sovereignty - please, but first write down penalties for them. And also to negotiate with Iran, so that in case of what they "throw".

              Kurds - yes. Weakening Turkey is the only goal in this region where it is worth cooperating with the United States.
              And the "penalty" from Iraq - WHAT?
              The country is ruined. Their only wealth is oil. But mining is fraught with such investment risks that it is better if anyone else takes risks.
              Agree, what would "throw"? Are we Americans, that they will print cheap green papers, and then they "risk" them, robbing the whole world? We are Russians. While we work honestly with us, we will behave honestly.

                        and with what - war? Therefore, border conflict has such a name (a term in international law) because it does not even attract local war.

                          and in general ... all this is a matter of terminology ... in fact, China is quite an aggressive state, and now it is gaining strength and weight confidently ... both neighbors and Americans are beginning to take it seriously and we should not relax. so an example about peace-loving china is past the cash register. all I wanted to say about this ..

And Germany rolled out both France and Small Britain in 1940, because in addition to the experience of the WWI, it applied advanced military ideas that had been tested in Poland and ideology by that time. Poland had positive experience against the country weakened by the Civil War, in the conditions of unlimited material support of the Entente countries, taking advantage of the adventurism of one "great" commander.

          It may very well be ... When Obama, when he was president, announced that the fight against ISIS should be an international affair, he immediately thought about drawing Russia into the process. We waited until Syria was on the verge of collapse, went to fight ISIS, now only Iraq is not enough for us. Probably, you can send military advisers and individual specialists there, in your interests, but not send any parts of your troops. Honestly, sometimes even the work of our Oboronexport seems to be part of a plan to sabotage the rapid rearmament of the Russian army, loading its capacities under someone else’s uncle, with the dubious benefits of selling the latest weapons to foreign armies.

              The very fact of the existence of Russia and Russians is like a thorn in the eye of Matrasia.
              Yes, the West has a necrophilic love for Russia, it doesn’t matter whether the tsar, the communists or the oligarchs are in power; Russia will only be good dead, in extreme cases, almost dead, in a coma. The Soviet Union had its own pole of power, a socialist development system that was not controlled by world ghouls like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers, now we climbed into a strange pole of power, picked up capitalism at a time when a world leader had already taken shape in it, when almost the whole world was near London and Washington, the leaders and masters of the world pole of capitalism. The oligarch brothers are still puffing their cheeks, having a Soviet legacy from a superpower, primarily a nuclear shield, trying to squeeze a share from their masters and save face in front of their people, eating up the Soviet margin of safety. They sell gas, oil, timber, fish, Soviet technologies and scientific achievements, all that they personally didn’t plow for, did not sow, how rich our land is. what was invested in science under the communists, what a freebie for them. Why am I saying this, and the fact that our government will either have to leave the alien pole of power, abandon the rules of the game of others not for the good of Russia invented, or, having squandered the Soviet legacy, go under the West. In the first case, we will force Russia to reckon; in the second, Russia will love necrophilous ghouls. There is only one owner in capitalism, this has been going on for centuries, and only Russia still remains a sufficiently strong and potentially self-sufficient country, therefore for the West we are the very “Carthage” that must be destroyed. They will try to destroy, both by the hands of traitors, and by our new "friends", the Chinese "national communists", who are ripening on our empty borders in the form of an eastern likeness of Hitler Germany, eastern anti-USSR, anti-Russia. Russia can be either great or not at all, we are not given a third, the faster we stop playing other people's games, under the interests of others, the better.

      It was already !!! Based on Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 1088 of September 25, 1958, Soviet military advisers and specialists were sent to Baghdad, weapons began to arrive for which Iraqis paid in net currency. Before 1980, the outbreak of war with Iran, the country was sent from the Soviet Union directed: missile (Osa-1, Osa-2), torpedo and patrol boats, fighters (MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25), fighter-bombers (Su-7, Su-20, Su-22) and bombers (Tu-16, Tu-22), transport aircraft (An-12, An-24, An-26) and helicopters (Mi-25, Mi-6), infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, tanks (T -62, T-72), anti-aircraft installations, guns and guns, engineering equipment, stationary and portable anti-aircraft missile systems (S-75, S-125), multiple-launch rocket systems, tactical and tactical missiles, etc. from 1970 to 1990, 2,5 thousand units of artillery systems of various calibers were delivered to Iraq; 5 thousand units of armored vehicles (T-55 and T-62 tanks), 300 MiG-21, MiG-23 and MiG-25 combat aircraft; 300 combat helicopters Mi-24; 6 strategic bombers Tu-22; 20 coast guard boats and tens of thousands of small arms, air defense systems, ammunition and military equipment [760]. All this equipment was helped by a large detachment of Soviet military specialists. According to the information of the former senior engineer of the authorized State Unitary Institution of the State Committee for State Concerns (1973-1977), retired colonel I. Litovkin, almost 1990 thousand 8 Soviet military specialists visited the country before the beginning of 200, more than 6 thousand Iraqi were trained at universities of the USSR Ministry of Defense military personnel from all types of armed forces [761]. In 1979-1982 The main military adviser in Iraq was General A. Mokrous, authorized by the State Institution of State Control of the GKES - 1st-Class Captain G. Kharitonov, Colonel I. Litovkin. Since the beginning of the war in 1980, B. Chubar, G. Popov, and V. Baloyan have worked as commissioners in Baghdad.

        He (Beijing) is likely to provoke. Apparently, the United States does not see any other method to restrain development, except to incite wars on the borders of a "competitor". But China has another weak point - the lack of resources for the economy and transportation routes. But pinching these supplies or transportation routes is pushing Beijing into the arms of the EAEU.

            Whatever it was, but so far it has to be imported. Togo gas 160 billion cubic meters. - Germany at the beginning of the decade consumed half as much.
            The well-being of the Chinese has grown compared to a couple of decades ago. Eat more steel; for example, they “felt” the meat - but this resource is limited for them. They themselves claim that their land is "polluted" and "depleted" - our food comes from them like a premium. More expensive, but guaranteed natural food; therefore, they buy well (pasta, pastry, etc.). One more example. The first immigrants from Europe to Asia (Hong Kong, Macau, etc .; 17th century) after some time began to suffer from stomach diseases - it turned out that the Chinese have not consumed water for a long time (they consume it in the form of tea), the water there has long been spoiled . And the settlers drank this water and some died after a couple of years.
            I’m not going to refute your statement, and even agree about the natural resources. China is surrounded from the west (from south to north) by mountains - and these are exposed strata of the earth. layers. Tibet, Int. Mongolia, XUAR can bring many more surprises. But that’s interesting. I read the work of an economist related to energy. So, based on the number of urban residents and total energy consumption, he comes to the conclusion that the Chinese are 800 mil., But not 1,3 billion .. Maybe the Chinese deliberately frighten enemies with their number, so they "bend"? hi

        From the middle, or maybe from the beginning of the 60s and up to the turn of the 70s and 80s, they had constant shyness in both domestic and foreign policy. They like to blame Khrushchev for aggravating Soviet-Chinese relations. But they forget that they were the worst under Brezhnev. Just in Brezhnev’s time, our propaganda liked to exaggerate in relation to the PRC policy. Although, I must say, in many ways she was right.
        The most interesting thing is that, criticizing Khrushchev’s course regarding the cult of Stalin’s personality, the Chinese themselves retroactively sharply criticized Stalin’s policies regarding the Comintern’s interference in the CCP’s affairs, about the policies of the USSR in Xinjiang, etc.

                    I’m such a cotton padded jacket that I think that sooner or later everyone will have to make a choice. I made my choice. I am for a strong Russia. For the Russia that I'm proud of right now.

      Everything has its time. First finish off the bandits in Syria. Build all threads. And there it will be seen. And what has the whole Isis beaten in Iraq? A military presence is necessary to protect Russian interests. From the citizens of America and to.
