Despite the fact that Washington is still showing its teeth and claws all day long, the strategic contraction is very obvious.
On January 24, Reuters, citing sources, revealed that Washington and Iraq** plan to start negotiations aimed at ending the actions of the U.S.-led international military coalition in Iraq and replacing the alliance with bilateral relations, making a step forward in the process delayed by the Gaza war. Obviously, the U.S. military can't stay any longer and is ready to slip away.
However, Reuters, which is a Western ** agency, said their report very interestingly. Judging by the reports, it seems that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict interrupted the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. On the contrary, it was the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that accelerated the process of withdrawing US troops from Iraq. You must know that the United States previously demanded that Iraqi militant groups stop their attacks on the United States first.
After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Washington's prerequisites were gone, and all kinds of problems were cured, which reminded me of some of the moisturizing people mentioned by the "Ding Fat Gold Medal Lecturer". In the final analysis, the United States' decision to unconditionally withdraw its troops was still subject to a warning education that went deep into the soul and bone marrow. At present, the United States and Israel are in a dilemma in the Middle East by various anti-American forces.
Now Washington is facing two wars. A geopolitical war that takes place in the core region of Europe, fighting blood and attrition with Russia, with no end in sight in a short time. In the Middle East, the United States has been drawn into the war circle by Yemen's "Hu Daring" - the Houthis and the Iraqi resistance group, and temporarily engaged in a low-intensity regional conflict with Iran.
The slightest failure to handle the two wars could trigger a world war in which Latin America enters, and Washington is well aware of this.
One of the main purposes of Washington's decision to withdraw its invading forces from Iraq is to reduce its conflict with local anti-American forces and to erect a wall to prevent itself from being drawn into a more intense conflict. Therefore, to say that the previous Palestinian-Israeli conflict interrupted the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq is purely Reuters adding drama to the United States and treating the people of the world as fools.
Another purpose of the US withdrawal from Iraq is to intensify the contradictions between Iraq and Iran. You must know that once the US troops withdraw from Iraq, those anti-US resistance groups supported by Iran are very likely to target Iraq**. In this way, Iraq** may be on the front line of confrontation with Iran, giving Washington more room to maneuver.
So we see that after Reuters said that the U.S. ambassador to Iraq submitted a letter to the Iraqi foreign minister expressing his intention to withdraw troops on the same day, Iraq said in response that it had received an "important" letter, but the country's prime minister would study it carefully. It stands to reason that the unconditional withdrawal of the aggressors is a good thing, so why didn't Iraq announce the good news as soon as possible?
Obviously, Iraq is also very clear about the intentions of the United States, and they are also worried about whether they will drive tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door in the post-American occupation era. Although Iraqi Shiites** have friendly relations with Iran, Iraq is not sure that Iran will want to replace the United States in control after the United States withdraws, the "firewall" between the two countries. After all, Iran is not vegetarian either.
Rest assured that in today's world, the United States and Britain are just two "shit-stirring sticks", destroying the geopolitical situation in various regions of the world and making it impossible for them to clean it up, and often leaving a "mess" and walking away, which is extremely irresponsible. Personally, I hope that Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East can tie up this bully empire so that it has no strength to do evil.
Without these conflicts, I guess we would have been in chaos around us. Why be friendly with Russia, why support Russia and the Houthis against the United States, is the reason not clear? There are some people who insist on standing on the side of the United States in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, thinking that we don't know what you have in your heart?
