    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 10 hours ago

    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 10 hours ago

Politics in Iraq - Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr and the 2021 Iraqi elections

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Politics in Iraq - Sadrist movement led by Muqtada al-Sadr and the 2021 Iraqi elections.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Sadr [Muqtada al-Sadr] claims that the next government will be a Sadrist one and the prime minister a staunch Sadrist and it may become a reality, but other partners will be needed to form a government and the risk of taking sole responsibility for government failures may mean that he accepts a coalition that reduces the Sadrist identity of the government.”

“Sadr's [Muqtada al-Sadr] strategy to maintain followership is his claim to be a reformer. Using this claim, he has supported the Tishreen/October Movement for months until Iran called on him to withdraw this support. His flip-flopping on this particular matter may have cost him some followers, but for the most part, his followership is blindly loyal and truly believes in his image as a reformer. On this basis, I can see Sadr avoiding the premiership to maintain his claim to reform. His party also is strategic in its alliances. In the 2018 election, it allied with the Communist Party of Iraq to maintain this reform title. This is all ironic, considering that he has had Sadrists in previous cabinets holding ministries such as the very deteriorating Ministry of Health while claiming to bring about reform.”

“Muqtada [al-Sadr] has been working a great deal to win a lead in the election. They [the Sadrists] have a good election machine, and they use all kinds of means to achieve their goals. Also, Muqtada isn't so far away from Iran himself. Eventually, all groups will sit together and form a government under the umbrella of the Iranian regime. Muqtada has been the main political player in Iraq since 2005. No Iraqi prime minister has taken that position without the tacit consent of al-Sadr.”

“Sadrist can't form its own government without a coalition, and years of experiences have taught them that working with Iran is an unavoidable part.”
