On Tuesday evening, we took a look at how Iran’s Shiite proxy arms fighting ISIS in Iraq responded to Ash Carter’s contention that the US would soon send an “expeditionary targeting force” to assist Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga forces in the battle against Islamic State.
From Kata'ib Hezbollah: "We will chase and fight any American force deployed in Iraq. Any such American force will become a primary target for our group. We fought them before and we are ready to resume fighting."
From the Badr Organisation: "All Iraqis look to (the Americans) as occupiers who are not trustworthy."
And as for the official reaction from Baghdad, we go to PM Haider al-Abadi: “Iraq does not need foreign ground combat forces on Iraqi land."

Nothing new under the sun. The US Government has been invading other countries ever since 1861. The Confederacy just happened to be the first of many, and they treat them all just like they did/ still do the South.

In my never to be humble opinion, It was an epic mistake that NATO was not disbanded after the fall of the USSR. Of course I do know the reason, too many would have lost their jobs and too much money would have been lost by those dependent on that organization.
We (the FUSA) compounded that mistake by not making every effort after the fall of the USSR (and the Warsaw), to make Russia our friend and ally. If Russia is our enemy now, it is because WE them one. Russia was promised that we would NOT expand NATO. So what did we do? Yup broke our promise and expanded NATO. The US government breaking a promise! Now there is a surprise.....NOT! Promise, pledge and treaty breaking seems to be SOP.
