I think America’s military withdrawal from Iraq and the entire Middle East is inevitable. Its debt stands at nearly 40 trillion and is now growing faster than its economy and its archaic political system is imploding under the weight of its poor finances and changing demographics. It will most likely follow a Soviet style trajectory and be forced to withdraw all its forces from the entire region within the next 10-15 years. The recent pact between Pakistan and Saudi suggests some of the region’s states already see the writing on the wall, but most of the region’s governments appear blind to the reality of America’s looming implosion.
The Middle East as of now is an important arena of influence for both the U.S and China. Any backtracking by the U.S will be result in a Chinese dominance in a very crucial region for Oil, Gas and other importance.
Agreed. But as America’s debt, and the interest payments required to service it, grow, it won’t have any choice but to withdraw from the region. Might not happen until the debt hits 70-80 trillion but at the pace it’s growing, that day is not very far away.
you hit the spot, keep going brother🖤
Thank you 🙏

As I explain in this essay, I also think America is headed for a civil war, which will obviously lead to its withdrawal from the region.
