US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

[dbc]

US controls the Iraq oil revenue but doesn't collect it for herself...this seemingly minor difference changes the entire script.

like dads 'controls' their child's allowance. Not sure how it changes the entire script.

It's necessary to keep the profigate son in check.

There’s no evidence that money was ever restricted. The money was put there so it couldn’t be easily pocketed by somebody in the oil industry instead of funding Iraq Government expenditures. Oil revenue is the Iraqi Government’s main source of income not some tempting private piggy bank for corrupt oil men.

of course it is restricted and the US continues to restrict how Iraq can use this money. Why do you make such sweeping statements without doing a little bit of research on the topic? For one, the US does not allow Iraq to trade oil in any currency other than USD. Then US also routinely blocks payment to Iran for natural gas and electricity imports causing an energy crisis. The US gets to decide how Iraq spends its money.

It is control, and therefore colonialism.

The USA is a colonialist state ...

The USA controls who governs Iraq by manipulating the politics of Iraq and their selected leaders that they are then forced to ask for control of "their" money by the USA.

Why the Trump administration is refusing to accept a third term for Iraq's Nouri al-Maliki

That the US would seek to block Maliki from a third term as prime minister is unsurprising given his disastrous record from 2006 to 2014.

Step back a bit and take a wholistic view of everything.

Why do you make such sweeping statements

While you are it ? Can we remove the need to have "3 words minimum" for a post? Sometimes, one just like to post a "link" to an article without needing to write something as the "link" is self explanatory ?

I can certainly speak to admin about this - I think the character min limit was introduced to avoid spammers typing "LOL" and moving on.

Just think they all flew over the Atlantic at probably only 340 mph with aerial refueling. That’s a long flight.
