Iraq plans to enter Syria to “fight terrorism” SOFREP Original Content

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

lol Don't use casualties as a method how much fighting is done. China suffered more because Japan was killing millions of civilians. We were able to escape from that because the U.S. brought the war to Japanese mainlands.

Nope. The US never landed on Japanese mainland. The US nuked Japanese cities. War crime and cowardice.

Americans were angels and I didn't know it.

NOBODY is asserting that Americans were/are angels in the matters of geopolitics and such.

Noteworthy hypocritical butchers (in no specific order):-

- Israel
- US
- Russia
- Iran

Why is Iran partaking in conflicts outside its borders? Why is Iran meddling in the affairs of other countries? Why is Iran supporting various Shia armed groups outside its borders?

Despite its pan-Islamic aspirations, since 2003, Iran’s strategic approach in the Middle East has focused on supporting Shia armed groups. Working through those nonstate clients has helped Iran greatly expand its regional influence, particularly in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

"The emergence of Hezbollah in Lebanon, the moral boost provided to Shia forces in Iraq, the regional cold war against Saudi Arabia and Israel, lending an Islamic flavour to the anti-imperialist, anti-American sentiment in the Middle East, and inadvertently widening the Sunni-Shia cleavage, are for me the most important by-products of the Iranian revolution," said Mehrzad Boroujerdi, professor of political science at Syracuse University, when asked for the top five geopolitical events set off by the Iranian revolution.

HYPOCRISY of Iran at display. More like Iranian Imperialism in the works?

Americans supported Saddam, Americans overthrew Saddam with fake excuse. Am I missing something?

An Iranian crying about 'Americans overthrew Saddam with fake excuse' is akin to shedding crocodile tears for an enemy.

Yes, you are missing something. Saddam Hussein miscalculated his options by invading Kuwait in 1990 and alienated US in the process; American aggression followed and Saddam is history today.

Conversely, US cleared a major obstacle to Pan-Asian [Shia-led] revolutionary ambitions of Ayatollah Khomeini:

Saddam provided shelter to Ayatollah Khomeini in Iraq for a long time: http://en.imam-khomeini.ir/en/n2338/Biography/Exile_to_Iraq

- and did not hand over Khomeini to Shah of Iran upon the latter's request [due to political designs of Khomeini against Shan of Iran]; instead chose to facilitate Khomeini's move to France after refusal of Kuwait to take him in:

When Khomeini came to power in 1979, he had two things which "interfered" with his mind. One, he was a religious fanatic who thought all leaders were like the Shah of Iran, a person easily toppled. Khomeini thought since he removed the Shah easily he could do the same elsewhere, including in Iraq.

Second, Khomeini had a 'complex' about leaving/being kicked out of Iraq previously in the late 1970s. Khomeini, exiled from Iran, had been a 'guest' of Iraq who was "given shelter" in Najaf.

While there, he began speaking out against the Shah and the Iranian government. Khomeini, in Saddam's opinion, was not respecting the written agreement (Algiers Agreement) between Iraq and Iran and was interfering in internal Iranian affairs.

The Iraqi government informed Khomeini of its position. They also told him "you are our guest, no one can ask you to leave or for you to be handed over." The Shah had, in fact, tried to get Saddam to turn over Khomeini to Iran. In Arab culture, one cannot "give up" a guest.

Khomeini refused to cease his activities against the Shah and the Iranian government. Khomeini stated that if his practices were against Iraqi policy, he would leave.

Thereafter, he attempted to depart to Kuwait but was refused entry. Iraq allowed him to return for three or four days and complied with his request for assistance in travelling to another country. Khomeini then travelled to Paris, France.

- however, Ayatollah Khomeini perceived Saddam as a threat to his ambitions:

In January-February 1979, a fundamentalist Islamic regime led by the Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the secular Shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, and quickly provoked a direct challenge to Saddam's survival. "We [Iran] will export our revolution to the four corners of the world," Khomeini proclaimed on 11 February 1979, less than two weeks after coming to power. In a scarcely veiled reference to Saddam's Ba'athist regime, Khomeini advocated Arab nationalism be "eradicated, or subjugated," in order to achieve the "higher unity of Islam." Heeding Khomeini's call, his radical followers considered the export of the Iranian revolution their primary mission. Their initial targets included Arab states with sizable Shia communities, such as Iraq (65% of the population), Kuwait (30%), Bahrain (70%), and Saudi Arabia (up to 500,000 Shias).

Emphasis mine. Ayatollah Khomeini was looking forward to cultivate a Pan-Asian [Shia-led] revolutionary bloc after his triumph in Iran but Saddam was standing in his way and had to be booted. Saddam anticipated as much and preempted by invading Iran in 1980.

Moral of the story is that SNAKES are not your friends.

USA is as trustworthy as a hungry hyena in deep jungle. Sorry for bursting your bubble but Iraq was invaded by Americans. At its best they want an other Saddam in Iraq to wage war against his own neighbors that have bad relations with USA bully regime. Then conduct false flag operations and blame it on Iraqis hence invading Iraq, destroying it, and helping ISIS alike groups to destroy Iraq, oh Americans helped Iraqis. Iraq should have never accepted help of that bully regime but they did and ISIS owed its long life In Iraq to its American creators. Remember air drops in ISIS held areas, only by American mistake?

See above.

USA parasite regime claimed of fighting against terrorism In Afghanistan, how many years and what was the outcome? Opium production broke the roof, CIA has a large benefit from opium trade, and terrorism just shifts from Talis to ISIS thanks to American airborne of ISIS fighters into Afghanistan.

And in your infinite wisdom, what do you have to say about Taliban harboring and nurturing Al-Qaeda Network prior to 9/11?

I am not a blinded idiot who worships American white supremacists, I can think, and I can see the truth that's why I am the bad dangerous guy.

LMAO

You think that you can see the truth but you speak the language of a Khomeini-indoctrinated puppet instead.

Iran is hardly different than USA in its behavior.

Nope. The US never landed on Japanese mainland. The US nuked Japanese cities. War crime and cowardice.

Don't need to land on the mainlands. In fact that was the plan in the future at the time. But you still ignored the fact the U.S. brought the war to the Japanese mainlands destroying their powerful navy and army occupying the islands to get close to home. How else you think the U.S. was able to hit the Japanese cities from such a distance in the Pacific Ocean? You can call it war crime and cowardice. But the U.S. wasn't afraid to keep going towards the Japanese mainlands.
