According to the report, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently issued a statement in which he pointed out that the United States and Iraq will hold a working group meeting of the two countries' high military commissions. "The High Military Council will facilitate the transition to a lasting bilateral security partnership between the United States and Iraq. It is reported that during the meeting, the relevant working group will analyze the capabilities of the Iraqi security forces, the threat environment, and the existing threats, but to put it mildly, the US military is planning to run away. Data shows that the number of US troops in Iraq is about 2,500, and in the context of frequent attacks by armed groups on US bases in Iraq in recent times, Iraqi ** and domestic political forces are calling for the withdrawal of US troops louder and louder.
In their view, as long as the US military remains in Iraq for a day, then Iraq will not be at peace for a day. Cumulatively, more than 100 attacks have been carried out on US military targets in Iraq and Syria so far. Who would have thought that the US military, which has always been rampant and domineering, would be beaten into "brains" by armed groups, isn't it a joke? Part of the reason why the United States and Britain launched military strikes against the Houthis was because they wanted to warn other armed groups in the Middle East not to act rashly against American targets in the region. Unexpectedly, the "chicken" not only did not kill, but also did not achieve the effect of "setting an example for monkeys".
As the situation in the Middle East has become more and more turbulent and tense, a large number of armed organizations have risen up to join the military operations against the US military, as if to take this opportunity to avenge the previous "bullying" by the United States. In this case, Austin sent a signal to withdraw his troops, and to some extent, isn't this afraid? Austin had just recovered from his illness, and as a result, he was discharged from the hospital and gave a "big gift", and the US military wanted to roll up and leave.
At least in my opinion, if the United States had really run out of tricks, the country would never have ordered the US military to "get out" at this time, after all, this is really a bit embarrassing, and it is a very shameful thing. But what else can be done? The U.S. military can't stand it anymore. At present, the United States is deeply embroiled in the two conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Palestine and Israel, and at the same time is also creating incidents in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea; if the situation in the Middle East is further aggravated at this time, it is estimated that in the end, the better result will be that it will not be able to maintain its position and influence in the region, and if it is worse, let alone its status and influence, it may be beaten to the ground by those armed groups that have gathered together.
Over the past few years, what the United States has done in various parts of the world has long aroused the dissatisfaction of many countries and regions, and if it were not for the fear of the country's status as a global hegemon, it would not dare to be angry or speak out. Now, a large number of armed organizations have risen up, making it clear that they intend to "take advantage of the illness of the United States and take the life of the United States." If you don't take revenge at this time, when will you wait? It is precisely because the United States is aware of this that it intends to withdraw its troops from Iraq. Otherwise, once it gets caught in the Middle East, it will have no time to take into account the situation between Russia and Ukraine and Palestine and Israel, which will inevitably run counter to the US goal of strategic retrenchment in the Middle East. At that time, the United States was afraid that it would not be able to cry.
