Abstrakt: The article discusses the current state of U.S.-Iraq relations and presents two possible scenarios for the future. The first scenario is a rupture in the relationship, where Iranian influence prevails and militias take over Iraq. This would lead to chaos, violence, and a potential resurgence of ISIS. The second scenario is muddling through, where the U.S. and Iraq maintain a strained relationship but continue to work together. The article argues that while neither scenario is ideal, muddling through is the best option for now, as a complete rupture would result in significant losses for both countries.
