Ageless Iraq Reel 1 (1950-1959)

[@XBOXNationTVHD]

If IRAQ stayed like this, can you imagine how beautiful it'd be without the conflicts ever existing?

[@andrewwright9378]

Kliche travels FOR ABOUT THIRTY YEARS NOW. Yes. And we all allowed that to happen, as we are allowing whatever this completely unwarranted shutdown is covering for right now. your country (apologies if you are commenting as an Iraqi) will exist only in memories soon, and you (and all of us) stood by and let our ability to stop it evaporate it forever.

[@faroke1710]

Iraq has a beautiful Arabic name “Dar As-Salam” the peaceful home. As an Arab descended I feel nostalgic about those times, where Arabs will come back to our countries proud. Therefore, the immense heritage will never disappear

@@wesamal_iraqi1100 you’re also wrong, the U.S support for Iraq was only a fraction of the bigger picture... Iran was also supported under the table (read on Iran contra affair/ Irangate), but Iraq had to go after the fall of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, as they were Iraq’s closest allies... and our model is the closest to them... the agenda is to split Iraq into 3 nations based on sect and background...

And when we passed by a market, it had just been detonated, and the corpses scattered in the market were human beings cut into pieces, and the smell of blood was human and the smell of burning clothes.
