Biden intends to announce the complete withdrawal of US combat units from Iraq

82

US President Joe Biden intends to make a statement regarding the termination of the US military mission in Iraq. We are talking about combat units, their complete withdrawal. This statement is planned to be made following a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Qadimi, who arrived on a visit to Washington.

It is noteworthy that on the eve of his visit to the United States, al-Qadimi noted literally the following:



Iraq no longer needs the presence of combat units of the US Army and the armies of other countries. We are able to provide security ourselves.

At the same time, the Iraqi prime minister stressed that official Baghdad does not refuse assistance from American intelligence.

It was noted that intelligence can help the Iraqi military and special services to more effectively resist extremist groups, as well as terrorist cells. Al-Qadimi also pointed out that American military instructors may remain in Iraq to continue training local military personnel.

Biden's readiness to announce the withdrawal of US combat units from Iraq is commented on by experts in the West and the Middle East. In particular, it is indicated that the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq may lead to a strengthening of Iran in the region. In turn, this could play against Israel, which has been trying to hold back Iranian development for many years.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that in 2020 Mustafa al-Qadimi met with the 45th American President Donald Trump. During that meeting, the leaders of the two countries agreed on a phased reduction of the US military presence in Iraqi territory.

It should be added that in recent months, US military bases in Iraq, including the Ain al-Assad base, have been subjected to repeated shelling. At the same time, the direct perpetrators of the shelling were never identified. Washington believes that this is the work of pro-Iranian Shiite armed groups in Iraq.

      The problem is, where will the US move its American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan when they are withdrawn from these countries? Where - to which country - will Washington take them?

      For example, on the one hand, the law-abiding US citizens themselves categorically do not want to see these inveterate "thugs" in their homeland in the United States.

      On the other hand, all these mentally unbalanced American servicemen, once they are out of work abroad, upon returning to the United States, will create a social and budgetary problem in the United States itself - with their own social benefits. Previously, Washington preferred to keep them in other countries - away from the United States itself.

          The Syrian issue immediately arises, where the American presence relies on the Iraqi group. It's time for the Kurds and other tribes to think about the petition to our dear comrade Assad.

          How excited they are! Biden's head problems are even discussed on television and in the media. Former White House doctor, Congressman Ronnie Jackson said: “Something serious is happening to this man right now, and you know, I think he will either retire himself or be persuaded to retire in the near future due to medical problems, or they will have to use the 25th amendment to get rid of this person right now.

            Nooooo, you do not understand. By the Indians, I meant just the Middle Eastern countries. And us too. Why should we worry that a bunch of American soldiers will return home? This is primarily a problem for the Pentagon. So it is with Biden. Yes, let them overthrow, do not mind ...
            As for the US nuclear weapons, there are adequate warriors who are quite clear how their use will end. And if the United States curls up fur inside and sorts out internal squabbles, the rest of the world will only look at it with pleasure.

        Even if they were there on rotation, initially they will return to their places of permanent deployment ... and then what? Even if we take into account that 50/50 PMCs are officially withdrawing troops, and PMCs will not last long there without state support, and therefore they will have to be used in other places ...

          This is what Russia is worried about! In addition to the bases, there will be the displaced American troops themselves!

          Moreover. The announced reduction and withdrawal of American troops from Germany turned out in practice to move part of American troops from Germany to Poland, and then to restore their numbers in Germany itself.
          A similar tactic for the strategic expansion of the presence of American troops abroad in the United States itself is called the tactics of expanding the US Armed Forces abroad in small groups.
          And American generals not only do not give up on this tactic, but also believe that it is time to move on to a direct STRATEGIC increase in the number of the US Armed Forces presence in other countries, in particular around Russia.

          They are not negotiating, but expressed a great desire. Central Asian regimes were modestly silent wassat and asked Russia to strengthen its presence. I am afraid that the CSTO will soon be replenished with more members. And the departure of the Americans from Bagram is very indicative, which the allies learned when they screwed up. Now the Taliban are beginning to liquidate the loyal allies. An Example for Friends of America That Has No Friends laughing laughing

          It is not very clear how to supply them ... Not - you can, of course, by air, but even here - you need to get permission from a bunch of countries. But it is very expensive, and for a piece of hardware - this is only for Russia .. I do not think that this time Putin will decide to help them. How for some reason helped in the early 2000s ..

                      Here is some interesting information on this issue:

                      General John Hayten, Deputy Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, explained the reason for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

                      According to him, the Pentagon has decided to focus on threats coming "in the short term" from Russia, and in the "long term" - from China.

                      Hayten also noted that it is very dangerous to turn a blind eye to the problems in the Middle East countries, as the recent events in Afghanistan and Iraq have shown. However, it is necessary to approach the solution of these problems differently. Now the United States intends to control the situation in the Middle East with a small force, and the main focus will be on "Russian and Chinese threats."

        all these mentally unbalanced American servicemen, finding themselves out of business abroad, when returned to the United States will create a socio-budgetary problem in the United States itself. "

        That's all right. In 2020, 43 thousand people died from firearms in the United States. Tsifir grows annually. I personally hope that the withdrawal of troops from Iraq will make it difficult to supply the Americans in Syria. As well as the Kurds. I think they are also going to shed from there. After all, they are not legal there.

      the commercial structures pumping oil and the Syrian government need the Americans to leave.
      .
      The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation do not need this - if they leave, then the raids from any parties will cease.
      and this is how the training proceeds in real combat situation l / s and the equipment of the aerospace forces, air defense, electronic warfare is constantly being improved.
      otherwise, they would be ineffectively wasting motor resources and time on the endless expanses of Russian polygons

    We are talking about combat units, their complete withdrawal. This statement is planned to be made following a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Qadimi, who arrived on a visit to Washington.

    The problem is where is the US its US troops
    For example, on the one hand, the law-abiding US citizens themselves categorically do not want to see these inveterate "thugs" in their homeland in the United States.

    And on the other hand, all these mentally unstable American servicemen, finding themselves out of business abroad, upon returning to the United States will create a socio-budgetary problem in the United States.

    For me personally, this is not a problem. I wish you all the troops return, BLM victory, more transvestites and other tolerant happiness.
