(It’s at thee end of thee article..)
It’s not really reported by many news outlets at all, but thee USA has an estimated 2,500 troops stationed in Iraq currently still.
According to that article, thee US presence in Iraq is violating international law and is affecting the country’s national sovereignty..
My question is though, what specific international law is USA breaking by having troops in Iraq?
Thee war Operation Iraqi Freedom may have happened over 20 years ago in 2003, but I believe Iraq would be in even more chaos/anarchy and overrun by terrorist organizations if USA left completely and let the country be..
(Affecting the country’s sovereignty.. Is that thee international law USA is breaking?)
Well, if anyone is educated/knowledgable on thee subject, please inform me/discuss..
