Iraq’s government has been under pressure to expel the US since January 2020, when a US drone strike in Baghdad killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani and PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. After the strike, the Iraqi parliament voted to expel US forces, but the US refused to leave.
Probably just cultural hegemony. American liberals see Israelis as “white” so they’ll back them to the hilt. Christian fascists see them as ushering in the end times. No president wants to be the one that lost that foothold in the ME. Probably a lot of people in power directly benefit from bribery or are at risk of losing a lot via blackmail. Like Bill Clinton was.
Yes rich Americans and fundies are “benefiting”

Yet they defend the people and the system that oppresses them en masse.
