US #MAGAt attacks on #Iran have left millions in neighboring #Iraq in 24 hr blackouts without even intermittent imported Iranian #power deliveries for several days.

Orders to simply #evacuate by US embassy to #Americans living in Iraq were issued long after communications platforms were already #destabilized and crisis well underway. With all airports & shipping lanes closed, and no #electricity or #internet since the US strikes began, many ex-pats have taken refuge in embassies.

Iraq ​has struggled ⁠to provide its citizens with #energy since the destruction of 2003 U.S. #invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein. In the ensuing #turmoil, poor investment ​opps, #graft and mismanagement by authorities have left the national ​#grid in Iraq unable to cope with demand for decades

USAID is now gone too.. With essential services cut, air traffic controllers cut, defence cut, and all active law enforcement out rounding up people to deport or put in concentration camps it would be so easy for a foreign power to walk right in while everything is destabilized and take it all over with little to no fight..
