If the topic of Iraq is on the hot search, it will not be a good thing in all likelihood.
This time is no exception. On the 21st local time, two consecutive suicide attacks occurred in a market in the city center of Baghdad. At least 32 people were killed and more than 100 were injured. The terrorist organization "Islamic" China" has declared responsibility for this matter.
Before the end of the first month of New Year 2021, a horrific terrorist attack against civilians took place in the bazaar in the center of the Iraqi capital.
First, a terrorist lied that he was injured. After successfully attracting a large crowd of people to watch, he detonated a bomb tied to his waist. When people flocked to the scene to rescue the injured, the second terrorist detonated the bomb again, causing more casualties.
For the entire country of Iraq, terrorist attacks have almost become commonplace.
The war in Iraq that broke out in 2003 It has been 18 years since the US government told the world that it would be too late to fight because Saddam would use weapons of mass destruction.
In February 2003, the U.S. Secretary of State Powell presented evidence of chemical weapons from the Iraqi army that the CIA had collected so hard on the Security Council.
March,Together with the United Kingdom, the United States bypassed the UN Security Council and sent "democracy" to Iraq with cruise missiles. Four weeks later, Saddam’s regime collapsed, and Iraq fell into national chaos until today.
What kind of Iraq does the US military leave behind?
Before the United States launched the Iraq War in 2003, the Iraqi oil industry had been completely nationalized, which made it impossible for Western Petroleum to speak up, and the Wall Street-dollar-oil system had a potential fracture crisis.
After the war, the Iraqi oil industry was privatized and completely dominated by foreign companies.
This time the impeachment of Trump, the highest jump in the Republican Party is the third figure Liz Cheney (Liz Cheney).
She is the daughter of Vice President Cheney (the Bush administration). After the Iraq War, Liz Cheney used her father's power to become the " Middle East Free Trade Zone" (reconstruction project) ) The person in charge, caught a lot of money, and then returned to the country to work in politics, becoming a congressman and a Republican party whip.
At the same time, Vice President Cheney is the back-scene owner of the American Halliburton (Halliburton) oil service company. In addition, large western oil companies such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron, British Petroleum (BP), and Shell have all gotten a cake in Baghdad.
former chairman of the Federal Reserve Greenspan said in his memoir: It is inconvenient for me to admit that for political reasons: that the war in Iraq is mainly about oil, which makes me very sad.
The super wealth gained by American politicians and companies is exactly what the Iraqi people have lost.
Of course, in the eyes of CNN and the New York Times, the Iraqi people have also made money because they have gained "democracy."
However, Iraq does not have a real new regime, only a divided, broken, inefficient and powerless government.
Iraq’s political system today was designed by the Americans. In 2005, the United States forced a "New Iraq Constitution" and transplanted the one that the United States likes to Iraq. There is no strong president or prime minister. At the mercy of the United States.
Many parts of Iraq have been in a power vacuum for many years. ISIS can rise in Iraq. First of all, we must thank the United States for providing soil for their growth and spreading to Syria .
Obama said in 2010 that all US troops in Iraq will be withdrawn before the end of 2011, and Iraq will inevitably be a democratic country heading towards economic prosperity. Now, every explosion in Iraq is a slap in the face of Obama .
Before 2003,Ordinary Iraqi households have uninterrupted power 24 hours a day. After the Americans sent "democracy", the average household in the capital Baghdad only used electricity for about 10 hours, not to mention other provinces.
Before 2003, refugees from the Middle East went to Iraq. After the war, more than 3 million Iraqis fled to Syria and Jordan, and a little further away is Europe.
Malnourished children. Before 2003, it was an individual social problem. Iraq’s “oil-for-food” program was implemented well. More than a decade later, according to CNN's statistics on cities, 30% of children are malnourished.
The number of doctors, nurses, and engineers has fallen sharply, while the unemployment rate has soared to 60%.
pure water source. Before 2003, the supply of tap water to urban households in Iraq reached 100%. In the ten years after the war, 73% of people could not get the guarantee of pure drinking water. Iraq is a rare water-rich country in the Middle East, and the United States has privatized all its drinking water systems.
In public opinion, 82% of Iraqis demand that all US troops leave, not just the main combat forces. The United States uses the pretext of maintaining law and order and combating terrorists. If not, Iraq’s public opinion is not worthy of calling. democracy.
On January 5, 2020 ( Iran General Soleimani was assassinated by the United States in Baghdad), Iraqi Prime Minister Mehdi once again asked the US troops to leave.
Pompeo mocked Mehdi as the "acting prime minister" in the show,Cannot represent the Iraqi people.
Then the cabinet of the Mehdi government collapsed, the Iraqi government was paralyzed again, and the various factions fought non-stop. Until April 9, 2020, the Iraqi President Saleh authorized the head of the intelligence department, Kadi Mi formed the cabinet. On May 7, Kadimi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Iraq , the current Iraqi government.
But he can't solve the serious and long-term social problems facing Iraq. As long as the United States feels that he is undesirable, he has to leave. The US State Department even requested the Iraqi government not to import electricity and natural gas from Iran on March 6 last year.
What does Iraq mean to the United States?
1. Iraq has extremely large oil reserves (the third in the world) and is a key part of the oil-dollar system;
Reliable, Iraq can succeed it as the US military center in the Middle East.
Three- or four-split Iraqi political situation, Sunni (Speaker), Shia (Prime Minister), Kurdish (President)...No one can sit big, and all need the United States Support, the United States is able to manipulate Iraqi politics with ease,Avoid Iraq's strategic opponents falling to the United States;
4. The common interests of American companies and politicians (revolving door), 18 years of plundering still cannot feed them.
Sending "democracy and freedom" to Iraq is just a fig leaf for the United States. The 32 Iraqis who died in the explosion, where are their human rights? Pompeo always said to be with them, so let's go together.
Iraq’s intelligence, military and police departments did not prepare for the Baghdad’s downtown bombing. The remnants of ISIS are the most direct threat facing Iraq. If it is not eliminated, ISIS may come back.
But the United States, which controls everything in Iraq, is quite negative in its fight against ISIS. If ISIS is wiped out, why should the US military be stationed in Iraq?
However, without getting rid of the United States, Iraq cannot effectively fight ISIS and can only wait for a terrorist attack to occur.
ISIS chose to explode in the downtown area this time and immediately claimed the crime, just to show their existence and power. When the Iraqi people strongly demanded that the U.S. forces get out of Iraq, ISIS jumped out with a high profile and targeted civilians. What was ISIS's real motive?
Provide a strong basis for the new US government to continue its military presence in Iraq.
ISIS and its backing,There will only be one end in the future, and many evils will kill themselves!
