Over the 22nd and 23rd of September, 2021, while the U.S. Congress argues over how much deeper they want to put the U.S. taxpayer into debt, the Peshmerga received a large ‘divestment’ of brand new HMMWVs paid for by U.S. and ‘coalition’ taxpayers.

In my previous Mother of all Money Pit report I pointed out the sudden build-up of Islamic State, aka DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]), forces in Iraq, but coincidentally there are big happenings regarding the oil industry in Iraq as well.
Just over a week ago, Colonel Todd Burroughs, Deputy Director of U.S. Military Advisor Group-North (MAG-North), told Iraqi Peshmerga (Kurdish militia) “this is just the beginning” in regards to more U.S. military freebies. On 20SEP2021, another million dollar ‘divestment’ took place!

This time it went to Iraqi airborne Special Forces Quwat Al Khasa (Qwat al-Khasah), at the usual location of Al Asad Air Base.

All these ‘divestments’ come at the same time that Iraq has suddenly decided to build up its military, and Biden is deploying more U.S. personnel to Iraq:

16SEP2021, the United States Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State meet for consultations, after the AUKUS announcement, with the Defence Minister and Foreign Minister of Australia (member of British Empire Commonwealth).
16SEP2021, Indian (India is a member of the British Empire Commonwealth) news commentator tries to explain the silliness of AUKUS, and why AUKUS does not include Canada and New Zealand (Commonwealth members and also Five Eyes members):
16SEP2021, German state run news outlet speculates that the true reason for AUKUS is to counter the economic sanctions that China placed against Australia:
AUKUS= Australia United Kingdom United States
“The first major initiative of AUKUS will be to deliver a nuclear-powered submarine fleet for Australia.”– Scott Morrison, Prime Minister of Australia
“…perhaps most significantly, the UK, Australia, and the U.S. will be joined even more closely together…”-Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of United Kingdom
“AUKUS will bring together our sailors, our scientists, and our industries to maintain and expand our edge in military capabilities and critical technologies, such as cyber, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and undersea domains.”-Joe Biden, President of the United States

On 02SEP2021, the Royal Australian Navy visited the U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) in Rhode Island: “Australia is unique in that they don’t just want to buy, they want to look under the hood.”-Trevor Kelly-Bissonnette, NUWC, commenting on the visit by Australian Navy officials, statement published on 14SEP2021

“As Australia transitions to a new class of conventionally powered submarine in the early 2030s, it is important that Australia remains as interoperable with the U.S. as possible, leveraging their significantly larger industrial and technological base but providing support and unique, niche capabilities in return. In order to achieve this, it is important that we bring the Australian public support onside to support us in our endeavors. Given the often secretive nature of our line of work, visits like this are all the more important to educate our ministers and career politicians of the strength of our allied relationship. The last two visits to NUWC by Australian have been remarkably successful in this regard.”-Commander Neil Carson, Royal Australian Navy Joint Program Office for Australia and the U.S., statement published on 14SEP2021
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison talks about AUKUS and the nuclear sub deal, admits it is about controlling global trade, says it is a “forever partnership” that has been in the works since the 1950’s ANZUS (Australia New Zealand United States) alliance, reveals that Australia’s demands for its military “will only go up” in the near future:
Five Eyes spying operations can be traced back to the end of World War 2, when the leaders of the United States made a (then) secret alliance with the British empire (U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand) called the Five Eyes. Five Eyes is now controlling the U.S. NSA!
On 08SEP2021, at Erbil, the U.S. military ‘divested’ yet another round of brand new ground vehicles to the Kurdish Peshmerga.

This included front-end loaders, trucks made by Navistar-International, tankers made by German owned Freightliner, and of course, AM General‘s uparmored HMMWV.

The Peshmerga is considered by the U.S. government to be an Iraqi government militia staffed by Kurds. NATO Turkey considers Iraqi Kurds to be largely Kurdistan Workers Party (aka PKK), and that the Syrian Kurds (People’s Protection Units, aka YPG) are simply the Syrian branch of PKK. This is troublesome for NATO, because ever since 1997 the U.S. Department of State itself considers the PKK to be a terrorist organization. This pro-Turkey news outlet video insinuates that the NATO United States support of Iraqi Kurds (Peshmerga) and Syrian YPG is being used against NATO Turkish forces:

Believe it or not, the United States has had military personnel in Kosovo for longer than it has in Iraq or Afghanistan. It’s part of the NATO KFor (Kosovo Force) mission, which began in June 1999.
Currently there are ‘Task Force Valkyrie’ National Guard units from Connecticut and Vermont in Kosovo, but since July they’ve been working a little extra duty fighting wildfires.

With all the news media hype about Afghans ‘acquiring’ U.S. made M4s (the latest version of the old M16), where’s the hub-bub about the latest undisclosed amount of M4s openly given away by U.S. forces in Iraq?
USA photo by Specialist Clara Soria-Hernandez.
On 04AUG2021, crates of M4s were handed over to Iraqi airborne troops as part of the Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund (CTEF). It should be noted that ever since Joe Biden was sworn-in as President of the United States, divestitures (as the Department of Defense likes to call them) of U.S. funded vehicles, weapons and other supplies have skyrocketed in Iraq.
USA photo by Specialist Elorina Santos.
The divestments to Iraqi and Kurdish forces usually takes place on Al Asad Air Base, in Iraq. But the warehouse where all the taxpayer funded stuff is stored is located on Camp Arifjan, in Kuwait. The U.S. military calls the stuff stored in the warehouse “high priority equipment” for “partner forces”.
