        Yes, I asked “which countries”, not “what kind of countries”?

            Lord. The irony. Could have had a little US in Iraq after us essentially living there forever. Now it’s Chinatown

                Not that we should have the contracts and control a country like that, but I’d like to think there could have been a win/win. Would have been nice to have a friendly and supported Iraq, on its way to healing some, at the end of the day.

                Overall, a failure of US leadership on all fronts. Any positive results may have just been a bridge too far in the minds of politicians and rallying the public just not worth it for them. Silly.
