I ended up calling this My FX Buddies News Catch-Up For AUG 19-21 Does Iraq face a "scenario" of Afghanistan's collapse after America's withdrawal? on the MY FX Buddies Blog
\nDoes Iraq face a "scenario" of Afghanistan's collapse after America's withdrawal?\n\nThe American "Foreign Policy" magazine said, "The Iraqis fear that their turn will come after the collapse of Afghanistan and its fall into the hands of the Taliban, following the US military withdrawal from the country, after a 20-year war."
\n
\nAnd the newspaper added, in a report published on its website: \u201cPerhaps no one is more shocked by the disaster in Afghanistan than the Iraqi people, who are very afraid that Iraq will face the same fate.\u201d
\n
\nPreconceived fears
\n
\n: "Even before the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan led to the complete collapse of the government and the Taliban's complete control of matters, many Iraqis were very concerned about what the US withdrawal from Afghanistan would mean for Iraq."
\n
\nAnd she continued: \u201cThe questions of the Iraqis focused on: Will the United States end its military presence of 2,500 soldiers in Iraq? And if this happens, will it lead to Iranian militias taking over the country? Or the return of the terrorist organization ISIS? Or maybe a civil war?\u201d
\n
\nAnd she added: \u201cThe scenes of despair that occurred at Kabul airport last Sunday, raised feelings of tension and anxiety among the Iraqis, and were a reminder of what happened in 2014, when the army and police in Iraq collapsed, after being trained and armed by the United States, and they lost 3 provinces. In battles against the terrorist organization ISIS.\u201d
