Trying to make sense of what could happen here. Congress is about to pass a bill sanctioning Russia, among other countries. So, if the U.S. puts sanctions on Russia, will there be penalties assessed on Iraq for trading with Russia?
Be nice if Iraq would buy from us. We spent hundreds of billions to rid them of Sadaam; and left billions in equipment there (which they mostly squandered).
I figure they owe us a few billion...
so are we sanctioning Iraq?
Is this arms deal what Zero was referring to when he said on the hotmike, after the election, he’d have more sway? And why did Iraq buy Russian equipment when ISIS was taking over the country? And why didn’t Iraq use this equipment to fight ISIS instead of letting the USA fight them? And why didn’t Zero do something about Iraq buying all this equipment in the first place?
the day Obama ascended unto the heavens, the Russians had zero influence and zero presence in the Middle East. They’re now arguably the major foreign power in the region.
that’s what 8 years of having a total woman — plus Valerie Jarrett — in the White House gets you.
Iraq used to get all of its military equipment from Russia. Thanks to Obama and his failure to get a SOFA, we are returning to past. Hopefully, Egypt isn’t next.
