President Joe Biden seems quite pleased with the result of the Sunday night attacks on areas along the border between Iraq and Syria. He’s about the only one, as the targets threaten open war, and Iraq is openly condemning the US violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
To that end, Iraq is promising to study all legal options to the US attack, intending to legally preclude future US attacks. Details are unclear, though this underscores Iraq’s opposition to the attack.
That said, if opposition to the legality of American attacks was enough to stop them, the US wouldn’t be attacking nearly so many things. A US hand-wave about self-defense is usually all that is needed, or offered.
Iraq’s Prime Minister Kadhimi has long sought close ties with the US, but was very public in his criticism of the new US attacks. So far, there is no indication that the US is considering not launching further attacks, and instead is focusing on how pleased they were with this.
The only language the US military understands is force.
Diplomatic language falls on deaf ears.
One cannot talk to a tank. You must either destroy it, or let it destroy you.
Those are your options Iraq, you must decide.
Iraq could seek indictments of war criminals.
They would not likely get any help, nor any results. But the mere effort would shock politics.
The only way to do this is to kick the US out. Good luck
How about shoot the aircraft down???
Shun the American occupiers… Cut off their water and electricity. Don’t take their calls when they complain. Boycott their imports. Throw stones at their vehicles. Spit on them.
