While browsing for news that would be interesting to write about I found one article that was more than interesting. The COVID-19 virus is actually starting to slow down the war in Iraq. Iraqi parliament actually requested the US to withdrawal completely from the area, and while the US did deny this request they are pulling plenty of troops out of the country. Iraq is in a lot of distress right now, they actually don’t have any labs in country that can test for the corona virus so for the most part these tests have to be flown out to German military bases to be tested.
While the US is pulling many of its troops out of the country it is making some uneasy, as a lot of places in Iraq don’t even have the water necessary to hydrate it’s people to combat COVID-19. The country is surely weakening, and I for one would be curious about what a terrorist group would try to take advantage of in a time like this.
Even though none of this information was mine, credit can be given to the Haaretz News Website. I think it’s important for all of us to be educated on situations like these. In America our worst problem currently is not having enough tests to get people tested. Just imagine if we didn’t have enough water.
