Cut and pasted the following from an article re talk of Iraq kicking out US for carrying out assassinations on it's soil.
Iraq should brace itself for sanctions that'll make the ones placed on Iran look pale in comparison if it kicks out the US troops without first covering the costs the US spent on its airbase there, US President Donald Trump said.
“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build, long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it," Trump told reporters on board of the Air Force One on Sunday.
The punitive measures that the US is ready to slap on its supposed ally in the fight against the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) will be even harsher than the crippling sanctions already in effect against Tehran, the US leader said.
"If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis, we will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.”
Now if I was Iraq, it would be "fuck off dickhead. What are you going to do? Invade and destroy our country if we don't payup?"
I thought that carrying this out on Iraqi soil was stupid. At the very least they should have gotten permission from the Iraqi government. I'm also confused why a member of the Iranian military was even in Iraq. I didn't think they had become friendly enough for that.
I have to wonder if Trump asked what's a really good way to make a clusterfuck of the Middle East, and some idiot actually gave him an answer.
I'd throw us out too! Lets say, the Prime Minister of Japan comes to the USA. At the airport the Chinese send a few rockets and kills him and his crew. What the hell do you think we would do?
Damn! Derelict Dickhead Donald. He's gonna get good people killed on both sides.
Send in the Dickheads kids. Put a gun in that little shit's hands that killed the Elephant. And send
that other idiot kid too.
