Great article, Nate. It's critical to draw these lessons at every phase of zio Imperialism's rapid decline.

"What worked in the end?

Violence. Armed resistance. Speaking the language of imperialists and colonisers back to them."

For the millions of wage slaves whose countries have been usurped by Zio Imperialism and would like all Zio Imperialists removed from power, one wonders what is to be done?

Unfortunately, the methods employed by Iraqi militias need to invoked here. We need to evict billionaires and the infrastructure that is fouling the environment like yesterday.

We as people should take this resistance to ordained madness as a template.

1. The US retains control of Iraqi oil revenues. Since this is basically the only source of income to the Iraqi government, the United States remains in practical control over any Iraqi government.

2. Trump is simply trying to jawbone markets. There is. however, no deal he can reach with Iran that would satisfy Israel.

When Iraq voted to expel forces, the US threatened to cut Iraq's access to oil revenues because hard power troop presence is so important to back up their leverage. So Iraq backed down. But now it's done. It's not nothing. It's a significant victory without precedence.

As long as the money is and flows into US accounts, it doesn't matter. Believe me, I'd love to be wrong.
