- riku_iki 5y agoI am under impression that current Iraq government is not puppet, and even more pro-Iran than pro-US.
- sudosysgen 5y agoThe current Iraq government is a puppet. The US kills people on Iraqi soil without asking for their permission, and when they asked the US to leave, they strongarmed the government. The Iranian affinity comes in no small part organically or from pro-Iranian militias.
- riku_iki 5y agoGovernment is not a puppet, because they are publicly against US actions, and asked US to leave. They couldn't do anything about US actions, yes, because lacking military power.
- sudosysgen 5y agoSo you're saying that the Iraqi government does not have a monopoly of violence, and has to share it with the US? That is to say, an occupation. Which you just said wasn't the case.
- riku_iki 5y ago> That is to say, an occupation. I don't think it is an occupation as this word is defined.
