When it comes to the U.S. military, the common phrase used by everyone is "it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God." Just recently, the U.S. military staged a show to the whole world, and it is very easy to invite our U.S. military to come, and it is a matter of imagination to want to drive away our U.S. military.
Last week, Iraq** expressed its "firm and principled" position to the outside world, holding that there is absolutely no reason for US troops to continue to be stationed in Iraq, and that US troops must end their stationing in Iraq as soon as possible and start the implementation process of US troops withdrawal with Iraq. Baghdad is seeking to fully restore "national sovereignty over Iraq's land, air, and waters."
On January 9, local time, the Pentagon announced that the United States does not plan to evacuate about 2,500 U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, and said that U.S. troops were stationed in Iraq at the invitation of Iraq
In 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq, and since then it has maintained a certain number of troops for a long time, and now 21 years later, there are still about 2,500 U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, which is obviously not a reasonable thing.
It is worth noting that not only did the current United States **Biden not agree to withdraw US troops from Iraq, but also the Republican ** candidate Trump did not agree, but Trump did not say anything to death, saying that the United States spent billions of dollars to build air bases in Iraq, and he would only agree to the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq after Iraq** paid for the construction funds.
See no,It will not be easy for Iraq to negotiate with Biden now or with Trump in the future, and even in the best-case scenario, it will cost money to eliminate disasters。The problem is that Trump says that an air base is worth billions of dollars, and if you add up the miscellaneous expenses, the final extortion fee is certainly not a small number.
As for why the US military is reluctant to withdraw from Iraq, this has to be related to the decline of the overall US military influence in the Middle East; look at a few decades ago, the US military could fight whoever it wanted in the Middle East, and Iraq, the "third in the world", was directly beaten, and now, the United States has a hard time fighting a Houthi rebel, and US military bases in the Middle East have been bombed frequently.
In addition, if the United States withdraws about 2,500 American troops from Iraq, the American troops in Syria will not be able to steal oil and food happily in the future. In order to maintain the influence of the United States in the Middle East and maintain the suppressive power of the United States against Iran, although Iraq has issued an "eviction order", the US military will naturally not choose to withdraw from Iraq.
It is easier to please God than to send God, and those countries that like to take the initiative to attract US troops to station, it is recommended to see more about the fate of Iraq.
