To a certain degree, we’ve got two unpredictable leaders calling the shots. I heard a commentary that Iraq will vote to ask the US to leave and that we should take advantage of that and leave, everywhere in The Middle East. Then let our friend here from the Netherlands and the rest of NATO deal with it.
Imagine this. Let’s say we go back in time, maybe back to when Reagan sent the troops who were eventually blown up but pick whatever date you want. Let’s say we just stayed out. What would have happened?

Just a guess here, nothing more....I am pretty clueless about this mess, it seems its all over the place, and no administration gets it right, and the critique flips 180 degrees, depending on who is in office....????
I would guess Russia or China would make a play for the region....
They are not constrained by the same dictates the West is.
They could pretty much just overrun the country, steal the oil, and become a even bigger threat to the worlds stability.
I honestly believe the only solution is a new energy source.....rendering them pretty useless.
