Man Musk posted:Iraq is a Shiite-majority state with much of the demonstrations happening in the Shiite south. how true is this, this sounds like american state department spin on the fact they destroyed iraq's infrastructure, never built it up and set up a puppet government filled with looters and people are mostly fed up with nonfunctioning government services not iran

I don't know poo poo about local politics there, but it seems plausible that Iran is getting some blowback, even as Western interests actively and deliberately misrepresent the nature of the Iraqi people's grievance.

clinton condemning trump is pretty rich give. she'd do the same thing he did if it meant preserving relationships with turkey. especially since turkey is now closely aligned with qatar, one of her biggest backers.
