As an Iraqi, I do ask this question to myself a lot, what the world opinion on modern Iraq. It changed a lot especially after ISIS war, but people here generally don't value the change that much due to high unemployment rates, drought, and bossy militias.

What little I know about about today’s Iraq comes from Hakim’s personal stories on The Deprogram podcast.

I think the US military can’t get out soon enough. I hope Iraq joins BRICS, dedollarizes, and has continued success with BRI. The neocolonial ^*^ imperial core^*^ is no one’s ally, and is in decline.
