Let’s talk Iraq
Let us do
some fact checking, Iraq has a
population of almost 32,000,000 of which are 67 % Shia Muslims and that translates
into the number of over 21,000,000 and of the 32, 000,000 we have 18% Kurdish (non-Arab,
racially and culturally more Iranian) population which translates into over 5.5,000,000
and that leaves us with about 5.5,000,000 Arab Sunni Muslims. Of this mentioned number of 5.5 Mil. Sunni-Arab
Iraqis, more than 40% (over 2.2 Mil.) are dispersed around the region and/or
inside Iraq, and they have demonstrably nothing to do with the extremism
claimed and magnified by the western press. That leaves us 3.3 Mil. Arab Sunni
Iraqis of who over 50% are politically passive due to reasons of tribal and
regional considerations (anyone who knows of the ABC of that region knows what
is meant) that leaves just over 1.5 million “eventually” disgruntled Iraqis
that need special attention. (Important note here, do NOT mistake in your
calculations and include the non-Arab Kurds into the Sunni equilibrium, since
it was the “Arab Sunni” that gassed and suppressed them constantly for decades,
and that means they can and shall never be allies, even pro-forma to please the
US).
1.5 Million
is not really such a big deal, and depending on the Qatari/Saudi military and
material support not to mention them sending their women for Sexual Jihad to
these mostly Jihadists , it would be a solvable problem. But the facts are that
these new terror units are being trained by the US and Turkish Special Forces
in Jordan and their agenda is to create the new ME by creating facts.
Needless to
say, these moves are once again done without any long term considerations and
the results shall be frustrations beyond control when the hit and run wars and the
Tiki-Taka politics result in a boomerang that bites the hands that have
been feeding them, like every single time one of those silly privileged theoreticians
wrote a thesis for his or her Bachelor in some over expensive University while
high on cannabis about the ME, this time it won’t be different.
The mentioned
1.5 Million Iraqi Sunni Arabs with half of them being women and more than 70% of
the left over men over 50 years of age, means
just over 220,000 men under 50 live in that region. Come on, I did the Math’s
now you take a step back and make your own judgments.
The
Iranians seem to have seen through and have offered help but won’t want to get
involved knowing it will become a new Syria… Once again, we can do nothing but
wait and see how it unfolds. At the end like Lebanon and Syria there shall be
groups around, some inevitably stronger than certain regional armies, and that
could also have been the final agenda….like, blackmailing states into political
orbits, should they not abide? Then unleashing these units and calling them
insurgents… you never know.
Comments
Iraq is on its way to become a new Lebanon. With 3 separate spheres of power one stronger than the other but never strong enough to challenge anyone outside of the region.
Azari by fortune and Iranian by the grace of God
