It is now apparent Trump has humiliated and threatened BOTH Iran and Iraq. After blowing to smithereens Iran's revered military leader in an act of rogue assassination, Trump has now threatened to bomb the historical sites of that nation in a hardly veiled attempt to castrate the cultural civilization of what was once the Persian Empire. And he has also threatened Iraq, a nation invaded, devastated and disrupted by US military forces on the basis of a WMD lie, leaving hundreds of thousands of civilians including children to die from lack of medicine and nutrition. After all that, Trump is now threatening to sanction Iraq if it doesn't allow US troops to remain, and also if it doesn't pay for the US military base there. This is as irresponsible as it is as irrational.
