A while back this Administration made a conscious decision to save the West almost singlehandedly and this is the how and why of it.

Watching this Shiite paramiltary unit pop up got me thinking. These were people held in check by Saddam's ethnically kindred security force. What changed to cause the Administration to move on Iraq like it did.

What I now believe is we were in a race to get control of the region before a potent rival took up residence. I believe Saddam's rule was about up. As you can see, Iran had set up shop in the Shia neighborhoods of Iraq waiting patiently like the vulture to swoop. The sons were lightweights prone to squabbles and stupidity (aka Sonny and Fredo). When the old man took the hit or died naturally, these dirtbags were going to make their move.

So where does that leave you Uncle? Unwilling to cede 16% of the worlds proven reserves to a nation already sick with petro carbons, Iran. We moved before the Mullahs proxied a repeat of the Iranian revolution in 1976. We geopolitacally checkmated the farking mullahs. Remember the Iranian human wave attacks on Iraq in the 80's. They have had their designs on Mesopotamia for quite a while now.

I say good for us. We farked up their plan. Anyone who thinks having the Islamic Republic of Iran cornering a near monopoly on the oil and gas markets is a chump.

Iran is the historical enemy of the west. There are no other major regional battles that extend beyond the history of Persia and the west. Look it up. And grow a farking spine about your fate in this world.
