Let's see. It is estimated in 2020 that around 2,000 ISIS fighters remain in Iraq. The Iraqi armed forces have 193,000 active personnel. Does that seem like an even split to you?
The problem is they don't know where the 2,000 ISIS fighters are, so the 193k have to be spread around the country to try and cover as many bases as possible. Plus, they're not just dealing with ISIS, but also incursions from Turkey
True, true, but involving the US armed forces is not helping anyone. The Iraqi government demanded that American troops leave, to no response. The US has no right to deploy its military against another country, so what is there to debate?
Yeah, imma gonna assume that Cheesy is just looking to make this thread even more buggy, jump-to-last-post-wise, as a whole swathe of deliberate shitposting is edited out (probably including some good points that are intertwined, but our brave reactionary doesn't care one jot about).
It's not big and it's not clever. Have some courage to properly discuss these things without throwing around barely-bowdlerised epithets just for shitz'n'gigglez.
Man I didn't expect that the statement "self defence is a moral right" to be so controversial. Maybe you're right, maybe we do have to whip out the drawn out debates to determine whether invading a country and occupying it for 17 years to exploit its resources is an immoral action.
Could you label the map as to make it more clear? Thanks in advance
