Iraq is about to explode !!!BREAKING: Iraq protest death toll nears 100, almost 4,000 injured, snipers targeting civilians

Israel and Saudis because their proxy army ISIS has been mostly destroyed.

The people don't want to be part of Greater Iran.

Who can blame them?

Who are the protestors?

Sounds like a job for Buster Knut

They are protesting against the Shi'ite dominated government that is very close to Iran.

Iranian-backed militias and government troops are shooting at them.

so like
the monthly riots then?

Iraqi militias.

Difficult to get timely info now...

At first I thought it was a pro-Iran uprising but in fact it's the opposite.

The Iraqi people don't want the mullahs' influence in their country. Good for them! Let's hope that these protests break out in Iran next!

Without Iran's support Iraq would have fallen to ISIS.

Iraqis are protesting total corruption, lack of human rights and Iran's influence...

"Everyone that opposes my tyrannical government is an ISIS terrorist."

Where have I seen this before?

fine. but i wanted to confine my thoughts to the post i made.

Pro-Iranian Iraqi militias who were told by the IRGC commander, Soleimani, to.attack US assets and personnel.



We still have 5000 troops in Iraq.

Exactly

I thought they had all left!

Ffs

Yes, they are protesting against irans puppets in government, but the important question is, who the protestors are.
Are they sunni extremists aka former ISIS, or are they PMF which are former republican guards, or some other unknown group there.
You know colourful revolutions can be bought from outside too, so we need to know who those guys are.

Negative

Whaaaaaat?????

This is getting truly worrisome...

IF true... this may be the "spark"...

Can anyone translate and confirm video?

the U.S. is acting like The Green Zone is U.S. Territory.

Defense contractors mainly defending embassies and consulates.


Not regular troops.


Quote:

With the collapse of discussions about extending the stay of U.S. troops,[35][36]President Obama announced the full withdrawal of troops from Iraq, as previously scheduled, on 21 October 2011.[36] The U.S. retained an embassy in Baghdad[36] with some 17,000 personnel,[37]consulates in Basra, Mosul and Kirkuk, which have been allocated more than 1,000 staff each,[37] and between 4,000 and 5,000 defense contractors.

Now it's fallen under the control of Iranian proxy militias that are shooting at protesters. How is that any better?

Finally something on MSM:

This is a minor demonstration. The Green Zone is massively secure and there is NO threat of it falling.

So calm down everyone NOTHING is going to happen.

20,000 US personnel and four to.five thousand defense contractors.


Think Blackwater/Xe types.

And ain't that true.

TANKS!

It's still a massive US presence.

24 to 25,000 people.
