horsesoldier Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Looks like " torches, pitchforks, farming tools, AKs & RPGs " time. These criminals have caused horrific damage to Iraq & it's people while enriching themselves beyond the most wild of expectations. I don't expect any type of of RI/RV: what I do expect is an absolute Volcanic uprising of the Iraqi people to once & for all rid themselves of this cancer that's killing their country. Protests aren't working, new elections WILL NOT solve the problem: all that does is elect the same Pro-Iranian criminals & new ones. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
