Yeah it’s indeed odd enough that they warned on a hours notice before anything could hit Israel. It seems more like a show off than a real attack, although sending 500 drones and missiles isn’t nothing. Probably also lessons learned for them that an attack like that isn’t enough to seriously hurt Israel.
Please btw talk me by, what’s the situation in Iraq nowadays since IS got beaten?
This question has more than one answer. The short answer is things are trending up but could definitely be better. What do I mean. There's a lot of investment from Chinese companies and so there's a lot of building, road improvements, rise in commercial and residential buildings. There's a big uptick in foreign workers too. Not only that but the oil production is insane in Iraq and I'd argue that not a lot of people talk about it. Take a look at the GDP and you'll see that economically Iraq performs well. Safety is a lot better now and electricity has been better, though there's still a reliance on generators. Having said that, the corruption is also pretty bad, there's a lot of money laundering happening, it's an interesting subject to talk about but it happens a lot. The money laundering really is a front for Iran's operations, sounds crazy and conspiracy-esque but it actually happens. The US attempted to ban some of the banks but it still happens under the table. Our problem really stems from the fact Iran meddles and interferes in Iraqi politics every election and at every step possible. The government unfortunately sides with Iran a lot because of the parties that were created by defectors who lived in Iran or abroad during Saddam's time so there's a resentment and identity problem with these guys. The public generally hates Iran's meddling (both Sunnis and Shias) so it's a situation that doesn't satisfy a lot of people in all honesty. I want to add that the country is also suffering from the worldwide inflation so a lot of things are expensive. Now if you're working in Europe and US and decide to travel to Iraq, you'll live like a king (awesome good, people, and there's a lot things you could do there). So to cap it off, tourism has been taking off in recent years.
I do hope we get out of Iran's hold and be our own sovereign country that doesn't act like a proxy or client state.
