Haven't seen a thread about this yet, apparently Iraq is in even more turmoil than usual:
al-Sadr has suggested his party and the Communists they're coalitioning with should with hold forming a new government until the demands of the protesters are met:

Some think this is a side effect of the US trying to cause disunity between Iraq and Iran:

Thoughts?
what are they protesting?
Literally read the first two sentences
To be honest I really wouldn't have guessed that "Muqtada al-Sadr will join the government and enter into a coalition with Iraqi communists" would have been one of the likely outcomes of the war in iraq.
they're protesting because its hot out?
Feels 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸bad🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 man
A coalition of communists and Iran-aligned Shiite Islamists are about to take power in Iraq, and somehow people still believe that the whole “bumbling Empire” thing is bullshit. It’s pretty obvious that US foreign policy in the past few years has been wildly incompetent and self-destructive, yet somehow people still think they are playing 4D chess in Syria and elsewhere.
Didn't we see this 40 years ago?
