Protesters storm the US Embassy in Baghdad

The situation in Baghdad was sharply complicated after the airstrike that the US Air Force inflicted on Iraqi territory. Recall that the other day the United States confirmed the data on the attack on Iraq, saying that they attacked objects belonging to Hezbollah. Meanwhile, in Iraq they note that representatives of the Shiite militia, which at one time helped the Iraqi army to counter ISIS terrorists (banned in Russia), were hit.

Today, thousands of supporters of the Shiite Al-Hashd al-Shaabi police in the Iraqi diplomatic missions rally in protest against US actions. The Iraqis are demanding that the country's government close the US embassy or at least lower the level of diplomatic relations with the United States for actions that were not agreed with the Iraqi authorities.

Shiite police commander Al-Hashd al-Shaabi Faleh al-Fayad takes part in the actions.

In the last few minutes, the most active protesters began to shower the territory on which the US diplomatic mission is located with Molotov cocktails. Dozens of people went to storm the closed and guarded object.

Police used tear gas and other special equipment against activists.

Currently, 12 victims are reported. These are mainly protesters who received chemical burns of mucous membranes as a result of the use of grenades with tear substance by the Iraqi police.

The US Embassy is located in the embassy building.

Fairly demand! And it’s right that they are outraged by the Cunning actions of the Americans!

[Shurik70]

In time, they remembered national pride
It was necessary to help Saddam Hussein when he fought with the Yankees.
So that the ground under the feet of the invaders burns, and there is no front line.
And now - yes, they wanted to spit because of the fence for any peaceful protests, and not the Iraqi cops would disperse the peaceful ones.

Who knows, who knows ... The Al-Hashd al-Shaabi militia numbers from 100 to 120 thousand bayonets. About two months ago, the leaders of the group put forward a demand for the Americans to leave Iraqi territory in order to avoid "negative consequences." So it was with a relatively peaceful coexistence, and then the mattresses of their people were decided. It may so happen that the new year throughout its entire length is unlikely to be calm for the "liberators".

[bayard]

Happy New Year to the American invaders came to congratulate ... not indifferent Shiites. With a fire show and exciting rides ...
In the New Year, I wish the indifferent Iraqi patriots the fulfillment of all their innermost desires, success in all endeavors and the triumph of justice!
And for American touring guests, the traditional wish is how you will meet the New Year, and you will spend it.
And bless Ahura-Mazda all the good undertakings of the inhabitants of Mesopotamia.

Well, if the "mattresses" feel "on their own skin" (!), Then the very thing that they did with our Ukraine, then it should be so (!), - "what they fought for, they ran into it" ... (even if on another territory). And we and Russia, God willing, let us be reconciled ...

Is always. To create chaos controlled by a taste of blood and calmly catch a goldfish in this turbidity is a favorite Anglo-Saxon policy. Once again, the groups will get rid of each other (and they in Iraq, like any BV country, like a bitch of fleas) and will conduct this chaos, robbing the country quietly.

[Lelek]

Quote: Tatiana

Fairly demand!

, Tatyana. Happy New Year.
And who would doubt the justice of the demand, but this is the demand of the crowd, not the Iraqi government. Such riots in Iraq occur often, but quickly fade. It can be seen that people are accustomed to the deaths of consanguineous and this riot (IMHO) will end with another pause.

[URAL72]

I don’t understand how long the people who were bombed, occupied, and then reduced, can tolerate puppet power and the troops of the invaders. The result is predictable. I hope we have already pulled out of stocks and arabified a couple of hundred T-72, BTR-70, carnations, hailstones, etc. And at the same time, our influence in the Middle will grow. The West already claims that Russia is the main player in the Middle. But we can become even stronger.

All this will be very quickly disposed of by the Americans. In Iraq, the best thing right now is Kalash, snipers, mortars, grenade launchers, MANPADS, ATGMs, mines and a bunch, a bunch of land mines. In general, everything that will launch a total guerrilla war. Only in this case, the Americans drape.

Heroes returned home, only Crimean "Golden Eagles" , from all the others, the inhabitants of the country preferred - RENDER !!! ??? In my area, even one of the high-ranking representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was removed from a responsible position (!) Who "seemed to have undergone a reform" and "was partially reformatted", but two years later, after the coup, he could not continue prevaricate, and came to one of the events "in memory of the heroes of the Berkut" ... the activists raised such a HIGH in the press that the dude was dismissed from the post of deputy head of the regional police department, within a WEEK !!! Yes, he certainly was not an angel, but he did not become "deeply finished" (but on the contrary, after the events on the Maidan, where he was sent more than once that winter, he became much more consistent with the notions of officer honor! (fact!) I know by hearsay, things are in our garrison of the police department ...

Victoria happy holiday if the Yankees are driven out of the embassy, ​​then it will not matter to them whose territory they have under their feet!

The embassy has the right of extraterritoriality, as the territory is not controlled by the host country.

Well, that doesn't concern Americans. They expelled diplomatic personnel from the consulate - the territory of Russia - and broke down the internal premises.
So American diplomats do not have extraterritorial rights. Casus belli.

For one, enlighten us on whose territory the objects of the diplomatic missions of the Russian Embassy in San Francisco, in Washington, New York and Seattle were.

[Victoria-V]

Are you sick and delve into my last year’s comments? And if in the case, then the U.S. request to close the Russian Consulate General, a trade representative in Washington and its branch in New York was put forward in response to the expulsion of American diplomats from Russia - 1 employees of the American diplomatic mission should have left the Russian Federation before September 755. This step of Russia was a response to tougher sanctions against the Kremlin.

[Tersky]

Quote: Victoria-In

Are you sick and delve into my last year’s comments?

You would be easier, the young lady is sick at the expense, otherwise this "definition" you often slip in relation to other visitors. Yes, and somehow harsh for the weaker sex. And digging in the comments is my job on the site. Excuse me ...

Quote: Victoria-In

This step of Russia was a response to tougher sanctions against the Kremlin.

Well? And where is the forerunner? Jerk only what is digestible?

At the end of last year, the United States declared 35 Russian diplomats in the United States persona non grata, and also closed access to the so-called suburban "dachas" of the Russian Permanent Mission in New York and the Russian Embassy in Washington. Moscow in July, in response to the closure of its diplomatic facilities in the United States and the expulsion of diplomats, ordered that US diplomatic missions in Russia be cut to 1 employees by September 455. Thus, Moscow equated the number of employees of the US Embassy in Russia to the number of employees of the Russian diplomatic mission in the United States.

This is how it will somehow be fuller. And yes, last year they (comments) will be December 31, 2020. , and while they are not even a week ago.

[Evgenijus]

The United States is already fighting where it is fed, it provides a roof over their heads, water and electricity, and do not forget about sewers. And in response to this, they are discussing this whole country, with its religion alien to America, the traditions of the people, the culture and history of the country. Correctly Zakharova said - these Americans laid their dirty feet on the table of world politics.
