and;
The USA and it's allies are, in fact, engaged in hostile occupations
of Iraq and Afghanistan.
After the USA and it's allies leave, for the most part, Iraq and
Afghanistan, what will be the long term strategic military and
implications of these hostile occupations?
Will the forces that opposed these occupations gain political-military
ascendancy?
The result of our hostile occupations will result in the political
radicalization of these nations against the USA and it's allies rather
than their pacification simply because the same are temporary,
hostile, aggressive, military occupations of these nations.
After the USA and it's allies leave these nations, there will be
relatively little political and social change resulting from the
hostile military occupations of these nations.This despite the
horrendus loss of life and property by the peoples of Iraq and
Afghanistan.
The same will not result in these nations allying themselves with the
political and military goals of the USA and it's allies but in
vehemently opposing the same.
Those military and political forces that opposed these hostile
military occupations represent the political, military, and social
frame work of these nations with the result that they will, again,
gain ascendancy after the occupations end.
Will some look to never end said occupations? ya know to protect the OIL.
the reason the area was invaded.
