King Bean Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Good news. This will really fry those ayatollahs. Abiding by USA wishes and cutting off yet another income stream for the trolls running Iran. Hope Iraq has a good backup plan in place. As POTUS Trump might say...."I atollah you not to mess with the US !!" 2 3 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitcher Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I mentioned it last night LB. Doesn’t it just appear that a lot of the news is going the way we want to see it go. We have beem at this point so many times in the past. You know, where it just seemed like it might go,,,,,,but it didn’t for so many different reasons. For whatever it’s worth, things just seem different this time. Too many things are changing and changing in record time, especially for Iraq. I’m not cheerleading, I’ve been around to long to do that but I’m getting a little more interested in the dream. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either you have faith that the RV will happen, or you should get out, right? I kinda enjoy the crazy once in a while! I’m an optimist and I appreciate the well informed opinions of fellow optimists like you! Cheers Pitcher! Here’s to RV2020! 🥂 🍻 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochester Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Where is the dog that didn't bark?....to use an old Sherlock Holmes cliche What I mean is, sure Iraq has decided to stop importing gas and electricity from Iran. Sure that's a big big deal. Sure it hurts Iran. Sure it strengthens Iraq. Sure it weakens the hold that Iran had over the government of Iraq. Sure, chopping off 🪓a major income stream 💲 to the Trollatollahs 👳♂️...who run Iran is great.... However, the dog that didn't bark is that the Iraq government would never do this, unless they had another reliable supplier. They would never put themselves and their economy at risk, if there was no other reliable supplier. Maybe I missed it, but who is guaranteeing Iraq's gas and electricity now? 😺...where is that dog?

Pitcher Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 I read this morning that the Iraqi Hezbollah is preparing to start terror attacks in SA. Probably because Iraq is cozying up to SA and turning away from Iran. I’ve said it numerous times before, if you want peace in the ME then Iran must be stopped. They are the ones who are exporting terror and strife through their proxy fighters. It has been estimated that Iran supplies 100k militiamen in Iraq alone. They also have fighters in Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria. They view Iraq as their satellite country and their target is, SA, and Israel. They view Sunni and The Kurds as “dirty Muslims”. https://m.jpost.com/middle-east/iraqi-kataib-hezbollah-calls-for-operations-inside-saudi-arabia-629087 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes true Pitcher! Before there was progress but only right there with local players and US. This time there is a world wide shift, a pandemic that has put a stranglehold on The World Economy!! Also many principle influencers have been removed from the picture so...... yes...... it IS different this time!!!! Thankyou for ALL you contribute here!! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
