US to maintain presence in Iraq ‘to prevent ISIS resurgence &... to watch over Iran’ – Trump

Trump payed a surpise visit to Iraq today.

US has ~5,200 reported troops in Iraq (actual number is undeclared).

There are other US-backed forces & hardware there of course.

All of Iraq is within range of Iranian missiles & Iran has a strong presence in the country so I'm not sure who's watching over who.

Considering the current climate and how things possibly progress I would prefer them to retreat from their EU bases. 

 

We wouldn't want any russians there neither.
