Intressant!
Jag blir inte förvånad att det leder till att USA drar tillbaka en del av sina styrkor från Irak. Och utan Irak har USA nog ingen möjlighet att vara en spelare i Syrien heller.
Trump är fredshjälte oavsett!

Remarks by President Trump Before New Year’s Eve Celebration
Issued on: January 1, 2020
Citat:
Q What do you want the American people to know, Mr. President, about how you’re handling the situation in Iraq, as it relates to Iran?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think it’s been handled very well. The Marines came in. We had some great warriors come in and do a fantastic job. And they were there instantaneously, as soon as we heard. I used the word “immediately”; they came immediately. And it’s in great shape, as you know. This will not be a Benghazi. Benghazi should never have happened. This will never, ever be a Benghazi.
But we have some of our greatest warriors there. They got in there very quickly. As soon as we saw there was a potential for problem, they got in, and there was no problem whatsoever.
I also want to thank the Iraqi government. They really stepped up. I spoke to the Prime Minister today. I thanked him. But they stepped up very nicely.
Q Mr. President, do you foresee going to war with Iran?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t think that would be a good idea for Iran. It wouldn’t last very long. Do I want to? No. I want to have peace. I like peace. And Iran should want peace more than anybody. So I don’t see that happening. No, I don’t think Iran would want that to happen. It would go very quickly.
Så jag kan tänka mig att det blir à la Syrien vid eventuell eskalering. Trump svarar hårt med ~~bombningar~~ ... för att sedan minska USA:s militära närvaro i Irak
