No, this isn’t accurate. The video shows an Iraqi official (likely PMF-affiliated) stating they will respond to and defend against US/Israeli strikes on Popular Mobilization Forces bases, which have killed members recently. Iraq’s government has made no official declaration of war or entry into the conflict alongside Iran. The country is caught in crossfire from the ongoing US-Israel vs. Iran war (started Feb 28), with PMF militias acting independently while Baghdad seeks to avoid full involvement. Mainstream sources like Al Jazeera, Reuters, and CNN confirm strikes on PMF but no state-level war.
The Grok response is such a liberal misunderstanding of power like it’s a top down rationally structured thing built on paperwork instead of dozens of power fronts all occurring simultaneously and the strongest wills coming out on top.
The will that is coming out on top in Iraq is the will to fight the US, therefore Iraq is part of the war now. Iraqi people are mobilising through their own organisations, they do not need the state to declare it.
Besides, does the US even declare war on anything anymore? No, it’s mere ‘intervention’, ‘operation’ or ‘policing action’ here and there as they label it, they didn’t declare it in Korea, nor Vietnam, nor Iraq, nor Afghanistan, yet that didn’t stop them from making a war here and there. Why shouldn’t it be with this country or another?
It’s like "it’s not champagne if it wasn’t declared to be from the champagne region, otherwise, it’s sparkling wine’.
Its such a joke reading Wikipedia about some of the places ive been hearing in the news. Particularly in Iraq, where some places have a list of bombs and attacks where the perpetrator is always “Iranian-backed [militia/group]” lol
LOL @ Grok and Zionazis
