All you know or have to know about this article is that they referred to the US elites as the ones that are only able to stop this madness.

The USA should be and could be totally self sufficient in everything but fuel and tropical fruit. We only have “crucial” allies because we contrive them.

Iraq has been a close ally in helping the US maintain world dominance.

snip

After all, the US invaded their country for economic reasons just 14 years ago.

Both untrue statements. The article is far out there. Total nonsense.

The U.S. foolishly refused to take payment in Iraqi oil.

The Democrats in Congress forbid U.S. companies from even competing for contracts in Iraq.

We don’t need Arab allies.

Not one nation named has been considered an ally.

You should stop posting this crap, this is a waste of bandwith.

Who is Daniel Carter? What are his credentials? Why should we regard him as credible?

The piece you posted is a pack of lies. None of the countries he mentions in his opening paragraph have EVER been allies of the US. (The Republic of Iran was an ally under the Shah, The USSR and the Republic of China were during WWII but not the Islamic Republic of Iran, The Russian Federation or the People's Republic of China have never been.) He also omits Iran's involvement in shaping current US/Iraqi relations, which is to say the Iranians have bought themselves a government.

Of course, the obvious path is to revert to the Obama Doctrine of leading from behind.

“Invaded” Iraq?

Nope.

Liberated Iraq.

If you're going to post inflammatory, revisionist, elitist garbage, at least express an opinion on it, or warn people of the context, instead of lazily practicing "fire and forget". Otherwise, it seems overtly antagonistic.

I don't think I've ever posted such an article to FR without including an initial comment.

This issue is a pet peeve of mine, apparently...

The author has absolutely no idea what the *&^% they’re talking about.

The worst point is a tie between we are losing allies and that China is bent on world domination.
