    [size=52]An American report: Our military presence in Iraq is meaningless, and getting out of it is smart[/size]

    [size=45]The American “Ink Stick” website, which specializes in political and diplomatic issues, called on the United States to acknowledge that victory has been achieved against ISIS, and therefore it must withdraw its forces from Iraq and Syria, because staying there raises the risks of igniting a confrontation with the Russian and Iranian forces stationed near it, according to the site.[/size]
    [size=45]After the Ink Stick report pointed to the recent American raid that killed a leader in ISIS in Syria, it indicated that it was not the first nor the second time that the organization had lost a leader, and for this reason it considered that there was a need to dispel the American bureaucratic inertia and the existing logical contradiction, either that ISIS They still pose a threat, or they are no longer.[/size]
    [size=45]The US report made it clear that if ISIS still poses a threat, this means that the past eight years of military strikes have failed as a strategy and that their continuation is no longer meaningful.[/size]
    [size=45]And he added, "If ISIS does not pose a threat, then this means that the continuation of the mission (solid resolve) is no longer necessary."[/size]
    [size=45]Thus, the report made clear that if victory over ISIS was achieved, the United States would have to withdraw from Iraq and Syria.[/size]
    [size=45]While noting that ISIS has been eliminated and inflicted heavy losses on its ranks and resources, the report warns that Washington is “amplifying the specter,” as there is an institutional bias in Washington that leads policymakers in it to make a false assessment that the power of the United States can solve the issue Terrorism, and that American power cannot be replaced.[/size]
    [size=45]The smart thing is Iraq and Syria[/size]
    [size=45]The report considered that "without a conventional enemy to fight against, it is illogical to keep American soldiers on the ground in Iraq or Syria."[/size]
    [size=45]He stated that President Joe Biden formalized the US transition to an advisory and support role last year, which means that the Iraqis are now leading missions to carry out air strikes, patrols, clear sites and gather intelligence, while the United States plays a more logistical role.[/size]
    [size=45]While the report stated; That Washington supports local militias in both Iraq and Syria to achieve American goals, he considered that such support “reflects the same mistakes that were made in Afghanistan,” as a report issued by the Special Inspector General for Reconstruction in Afghanistan concluded that Washington helped enable a group of Powerful men at the local and national levels whose loyalties were in conflict between their power networks and the Afghan state.[/size]
    [size=45]He also considered that keeping American soldiers on the ground reflects an acceptance of the risks outweigh the benefits, noting that this situation is not compatible with the long-term goal of preventing terrorism.[/size]
    [size=45]He also added that the air force cannot replace the building of the state and legitimacy, which is a problem that only the Iraqis themselves can solve, which means that the time has come to hand over the task to the Iraqis, and for the United States to withdraw all its soldiers from Iraq and stop its support for the local militias that cause Undermining the control of the Iraqi government.[/size]
    [size=45]The report warned that the US presence in Iraq and Syria is dangerous because it risks provoking a conflict with Russia and Iran, explaining that antagonizing these two countries is not just a show of force, but rather a risk to the lives of American soldiers in light of a limited benefit to the United States.[/size]
    [size=45]The report continued, warning that Russia still has a strong presence in Syria and has previously fought confrontations with the United States because of its presence there, adding that with the American support for Ukraine, the deployment of a few isolated units of American forces directly in the range of Russian bombers, creates a dangerous situation .[/size]
    [size=45]In addition, Iran has a strong presence in both Syria and Iraq, which is why the report made it clear that the US presence did not enhance deterrence against Iran, but rather undermined this deterrence because it gave the Iraqi proxies to Iran the popular mandate to seek to compel the United States to withdraw by force.[/size]
    [size=45]In this context, the US report pointed out that the United States could withdraw from Iraq without compromising its security.[/size]
    [size=45]He added that in return, Iran cannot withdraw from its "region," adding that "its determination to secure its interests in Iraq is stronger than Washington's determination, which is the reason for showing its willingness to take greater risks, and that it is not ready to retreat, but Washington can deal with this reality." Either by accepting the disaster or avoiding the collision.[/size]
    [size=45]He added that there is a contradiction in the United States' sense of the threat from Iran's regional presence, while at the same time Washington is gambling with the US military superiority in order to deter Iran.[/size]
    [size=45]He pointed out that the "exaggerated threat" and the exaggerated reaction would make a conflict with Iran more likely.[/size]
    [size=45]The report reiterated that what Washington is doing, through its presence, does not enhance deterrence against Russia or Iran, but rather enhances the possibility of confrontation that endangers US forces.[/size]
    [size=45]Rationale for the problem[/size]
    [size=45]The report concluded by noting that the prevailing rationale about the deployment of US forces is that ISIS will pose a recurring threat and therefore there is a need for US soldiers frequently to "mow the lawn," noting that such ideas have been adopted by senior officials in the Ministry of Defense and the United Nations. .[/size]
    [size=45]However, the report considered, on the other hand, that “there is no need to mow the grass in the Syrian desert, and the fear of an Iraqi collapse similar to the collapse of Kabul does not correspond to reality.”[/size]
    [size=45]Whereas the Afghan government was a house built in the sand with the influence of the US dollar buying the dependency, not their commitment, of the Afghan soldiers, the Iraqis, especially the Shiite-dominated armed forces, are not willing to accept the return of the extremist death squad simply because Washington withdrew.[/size]
    [size=45]The report concluded by emphasizing that “the real threat is not the return of ISIS, but rather a conflict with Russia or Iran,” noting that this possibility can be prevented. He added that the United States will not lose anything by withdrawing from Iraq and Syria, whether militarily or politically.[/size]
    [size=45]He concluded that maneuvering "to get out of a precarious situation is not defeatism, but rather intelligence."[/size]
