🇺🇸🇮🇶 US Troop Withdrawal is not the Same as a US Withdrawal
1. US troops leaving Iraq are simply redeploying to safer positions within West Asia vis-a-vis Iran missile/drone strikes;
2. US administrative, economic, covert, & proxy networks are deeply embedded across Iraq and will not be withdrawn - exercising significant influence over Iraq - the US simply removed the most visible & vulnerable elements of US power as it continues its regional war on Iran;
3. When/if sovereign Iraqi interests and their allies begin uprooting these other aspects of US control, including oil revenue literally routed through the US - then positive change might be taking place;
4. The US under Biden likewise withdrew troops from Afghanistan during his administration - not a retreat from pursuit of global primacy, but preparations for larger & more dangerous conflict elsewhere including against Russia in Ukraine - US troops leaving Iraq are likely only part of a similar restructuring ahead of continued/escalated global war...
