Abadi and Stoltenberg discuss continuing NATO support for Iraq and strengthening its institutions

 

On this subject says Dr. Amir Saadi:

Iraq faced several difficulties after 2014, which was to create a balance between all the regional parties and international actors, which had a great influence in the fight against terrorist organizations "Da'ash" on the Iraqi arena. Although Dr. Abbadi used an open diplomatic policy to create a neutral situation that can distance the Iraqi side from the axis policy, but with a pragmatic view of what is happening on the ground can not dimension the interests and strategic depth of Iran on the Iraqi and Syrian arenas, And the United States wants to maintain its national security deep in the energy regions, it is pushing the parties in the region to maintain gas and oil pipelines. Area represents the nerve president of the world and especially Europe. From this we see that the US side continues to push the escalation and tension relations with the Iranian party on the nuclear file and increase the size of sanctions, and even went to strain the relationship with the Turkish party. Iraq is still trying hard to find a balance between the urgent need, according to Dr. Abbadi, which is the survival of the NATO forces to the post to organize "Daash" and increase the volume of assistance in the training and rehabilitation of Iraqi forces, and also equip and arm the Iraqi army, Based on the NATO and the United States, and thus we see that the international coalition's call for the establishment of bases in Iraq is the survival of the United States of America on Iraqi territory, in order to create a balance with the Russian party in the Middle East.

 

Iran has the desire that the silk trade route should once again be through the gas pipeline from Iran to Iraq and Syria to the Mediterranean, but the existence of these conflicts is what favors one another.

 The Iranian side also wants to protect its interests in Iraq, and here lies the seriousness of this game, the fact that the weakest party is Iraq, because it has become an arena of influence for all international and regional actions. The Russian side is also trying to create a balance with the American equation that is pressing the Iranian side.

All Abadi needs to realize is what happened when Maliki and Obama booted US forces out of Iraq in 2011. Total mayhem. Iran's puppet Maliki stole the country blind, allowed ISIS to invade, marginalized their own military, made a mockery of the political process. Now IMIS is running rough-shod over the poor battle weary citizens. And Abadi talks. And talks. The time is coming when the people will have to take back their country. He was pretty quick to quash the Kurds. Talk won't cut it with Iran. It's a mess.
