It’s about what we want vs reality. Truth is the average Iraqi citizen doesn’t call the shots. It’s a corrupt government and Iran’s influence is strong. Iraq lacks a strong government and leadership, and that’s what these factions want and live off of. With the current state things are not...

PMF needs to stay, but without Iranian controlled factions. It’s not as easy as it sounds. The outcome of the elections was horrible as the majority of Iraqis refused to vote. It ended up with the same fath(Iran backed) and Sadr bloc getting into power because their supporters did vote. The...

Nothing new. Saudi Arabia/ UAE/ Qatar are/were the main sponsors of terrorists organizations in Iraq and Syria and the Middle East. The only reason they switched sides and opened up to iraq was because they’re plans failed horribly. They had to choose between opening up or staying enemies...

Iraq can only stay neutral for so long. The targets are usually bases or small check stops which are creating a link between Syria and Iraq. Israel doesn’t want any easy transportation of strategic weapons near its borders. But these airstrikes won’t actually do much, the weapons are probably...

A Turkish- Iraqi agreement to cut off Barzanistan from Syria by taking the small corridor which links Iraqi Kurdistan to the YPG in Syria would solve many problems (Fishkhapour crossing). When Iraqi forces advanced on Kurdish militia in oct 2018, the US put pressure on iraq to stop the advance...

You have to understand the build up of the PMF first. They’re are not a single force but a group of forces under a single umbrella. MAJORITY of the actual fighters on the ground joined to fight IS originally and now they see it as an means of providing for their families . The militias/...

Some awesome development here. Honestly as much as I hate Erdogan's’ policies especially the ones that led to the rise of IS, I must admit he’s worked very well for his country. Managed to play Europe, US, Russia and the entire Middle East against each other to get Turkey to the top. He...

Both economies and countries will be destroyed, Saudi Arabia and Iran. However Iran can survive longer then Saudi Arabia. They make their own weapons and already surviving on minimal income. Can Saudi adapt to do the same? And for how long? Deescalation and preventing war is the best/ only...

The PMF is slowly being integrated and restructured has into being part of of the Iraqi armed forces but separate from the army. The purpose of is to make it more organized and under the direct control of the Iraqi government, slowly removing Iranian influence. Any attack on the PMF will slow...

Except Kuwait is minding its own business and liked by even the Shia communities in the Middle East. They don’t make enemies and there is no reason for anyone to antagonists them. Surprisingly even Kuwaiti Shias are happy with their government. It should be set as an example for other gulf...

I wonder what damage this could do to Israeli Air Force if it’s deployed across the mountains of south Lebanon. Not sure if it’ll be fully reliable but it’ll definitely be an interesting addition.

Truth is majority of Iraqis could care less about Turkey targeting PKK in North Iraq. In fact they are doing us a favour more than anything else. In my opinion if Iraq and Turkey really worked together and put all the religious expansionist fantasies aside. They could eventually control the...

That plus Iraq was using outdated soviet era weapons mostly from the 70’s and 80’s which are not even comparable with modern Russian Armor and weapons.

Iraq has a long way to go. It’s evident that the US won’t benefit us all that much. We’re better off making strategic agreements with Turkey, Russian, Iran, South Korea.... US military hardware is extremely expensive both to purchase and maintain. The Arab Gulf countries have spent over a...

Not sure why there’s a question of whether it’s Yemeni or Iranian drones. Iran isn’t hiding support for North Yemen against the Saudi aggression. Iran is supplying northern Yemen with technology, intel, drones and blueprints to manufacture their own systems. Northern Yemenis use both Iranian...

I didn’t read all your posts before, I agree with some of your input. However coming from a fragile country which just came out of war and has large Iranian influence, the last thing we need is another war because we’ll be dragged into it one way or another.

السعوديه شبه محاصره. الإمارات تشتغل ضدها بليمن و ما بدها مشاكل مع إيران لانو اقتصاد الإمارات معتمد على التجارة و السياحه. قطر ضدها تركيا ضدها . الكويت ما تشترك باي حرب معاها بحكم قربها للعراق و ايران و لا عُمان بدها تدخل. اذا السعوديه دخلت حرب هي تكون خسارنه. يعني خمس سنين ما قدرت على...

There’s no doubt Iran is helping the North Yemenis develop weapons. If I were a Yemeni I wouldn’t say no to it neither. They probably have provided blueprints and got most of them manufactured in Yemen. However, Saudi Arabia is the in the wrong here. They escalated the Yemen conflict from...

Judging by the images, It could also have been quadcopters releasing small grenades from above. Either that or Iran supplied the Houthis with state of the art precise suicide drones and missiles. The accuracy is breathtaking. How could drones or missiles travel that long avoiding all air...

Let me guess, idiot? Just kidding I wasn’t guessing. Yes because the US and Israel are always right.
