For quite some time, we’ve been talking about spillover violence in Iraq, with Syria’s Civil War playing a big role in the escalation of violence in western Iraq, even as Iraqi militant groups cross into Syria to bolster the war there.
But UN officials say that increasingly the term “spillover” doesn’t make sense, and that the two wars are simply merging into one war, covering two countries (and sometimes three with fighting in Lebanon).
UN envoy to Iraq Martin Kobler says that Iraq, as the “fault line between the Shia and the Sunni world,” will be impacted most by the Syrian war, and that fighters from both sides have gone to Syria to fight one another there.
That’s been true for awhile, and Syria’s conflict has increasingly regional implications, but Iraq had a borderline sectarian civil war going as it was, and the “merger” will make the war even harder to settle as more countries find themselves part of it.
WHO benefits? Israel's dream is to sit in a fortified GHETTO surrounded by chaos, profiting and laughing at the blood.
OHMYGOD!!! REALLY?? WHAT A GODDAMN SURPRISE!! AMERICA IS AS CONFUSED AS ALL THE PEOPLE OVER THERE FIGHTING EACH OTHER!
But our Great Leader told us the war in Iraq was over.
Countries that commit aggression are responsible for violence in the aftermath that stems from said aggression. This is another part of the effect of Washington's aggression. The US inflicted death toll is still rising.
