...probably only massive amounts of US bribery are keeping the Iraqi govt from evicting us and formally inviting in the Russians

Excellent point.
Iraq is reporting now that US air strikes killed at least 30 of their soldiers and wounded another 20 from their 55th brigade, which has been one of their most effective anti-Daesh fighting units
Maybe that’s why the U.S. bombed them
The Air Force of ISIS strikes again
Aim High and praise al’lah
The bribe payments just went up by a lot
Or the Russians earned an invite to come in and help clean in Iraq
