iraq has reet gone tae feck

No

any chance of iran launching a takeover bid?

It's started

about time the militia in Baghdad stopped dancing and yelling - there's a war going on 50 miles away!

us will dump malaiki soon and then it will get sorted out with a more moderate president

would it be so bad if iran took over iraq? i mean it will probably end up with them taking over the world one day, but we'll all be dead by then. in the short term it may stabilise the region a bit? may have a better afghanistan now if we'd have let russia get on with it?

Kurds are well organised with a well drilled army. They have taken land which they will never give back.

The Sunni's to the North (ISIS), Shia's to the south.

Kurds atm seem to 'side' with Shia, but that could change.

It's going to get messy
