๐Ÿšจ MNT GOAT: Can It Get Much Worse Than This?

Short answer?
Yes… and that’s exactly why everything is finally coming to the surface.

What we are witnessing now in Iraq is not chaos by accident—it is exposure by design.


๐Ÿงจ Maliki’s First Response to Trump: Defiance, Not Concession

In the article titled:

“MALIKI’S FIRST RESPONSE TO TRUMP: I REJECT AMERICAN INTERFERENCE… AND I WILL CONTINUE WORKING UNTIL THE END.”

Nouri al-Maliki finally broke his silence following President Trump’s direct rejection of his return to power.

Maliki declared that he:

  • Rejects American interference

  • Claims a violation of Iraqi sovereignty

  • Will “continue working until the end”

๐Ÿšฉ What Does “Working Until the End” Really Mean?

Let’s be honest.

This does not mean compromise.
It does not mean stepping aside for stability.

It means:

  • Refusing to concede to al-Sudani

  • Using every political lever possible

  • Saying and doing whatever is necessary to regain power

This is not leadership—it’s desperation.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: How Did Maliki Respond to Trump?

Nouri al-Maliki rejected Trump’s position as American interference, refused to step aside, and stated he would continue pursuing power despite U.S. opposition.


๐Ÿง  Reality Check: Sovereignty or Selective Outrage?

Maliki claims to defend Iraqi sovereignty—but only when it suits him.

Let’s ask the obvious question:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Is American influence unacceptable, but Iranian interference acceptable?

Iran has:

  • Interfered in elections

  • Backed militias

  • Influenced appointments

  • Controlled financial flows

Yet Maliki never calls that a violation of sovereignty.

Why?

Because his political loyalty has always leaned eastward, not toward an independent Iraq.


⚖️ The End of the Road for Maliki?

This attempted third term may be the final chapter of Maliki’s political career.

History shows us something important:

When corrupt power overreaches, collapse accelerates.

If Maliki refuses to back off, the consequences will arrive sooner rather than later.

Sometimes accountability comes through politics.
Sometimes it comes through exposure.
And sometimes… through both.


๐ŸŒ‹ A Political Earthquake in Iraq

In the article:

“A POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN IRAQ: KHAZALI IS RELIEVED, HAKIM IS RIGHT, AND SUDANI IS PREPARING”

We learn that Trump’s words did far more than offend politicians—they reframed Iraq.

Trump spoke of Iraq as a “great country” , not as an extension of the Iranian file.

That distinction matters.


⏳ The Longest 48 Hours of 2026 (So Far)

From:

  • Ammar al-Hakim warning against Maliki
    To:

  • Trump’s tweets dismantling Maliki’s momentum

Maliki went from celebrating his “imminent return”
to facing international rejection almost overnight.

Not so fast, Maliki.


๐Ÿงฉ “Maliki Opposed Iran”? Words Without Action

Maliki’s allies rushed to the media claiming he once “struck the Iranian axis.”

But let’s be clear:

  • Words ≠ policy

  • Statements ≠ independence

  • History ≠ revisionism

Nothing materially changed during Maliki’s rule.
Iran’s influence expanded—not contracted.

That’s the reality.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: Is Maliki Independent from Iran?

Despite claims from his allies, Maliki’s record shows expanded Iranian influence during his rule, with no meaningful policy actions that reduced Tehran’s control in Iraq.


๐Ÿง  Blind Loyalty and the Cost to Nations

What’s most alarming isn’t Maliki himself—it’s the unquestioning loyalty surrounding him.

When political loyalty overrides:

  • Facts

  • Performance

  • Accountability

  • National interest

Nations suffer.

Progress does not come from defending failure.
Prosperity does not come from recycling corruption.


๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ Al-Sudani vs Maliki: No Comparison

Let’s compare objectively:

  • Maliki: 8 years → chaos, division, collapse

  • Al-Sudani: 4 years → recovery, reform, stabilization

The results speak for themselves.


๐Ÿ•ต️‍♂️ Enter Mark Savaya: Two Fronts, One Mission

Now we reach the most critical development.

Who Is Mark Savaya and Why Does He Matter?

The U.S. envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, has opened two major fronts:

  1. Prevent Iranian-backed militias from power

  2. Confront systemic corruption

This is not rhetoric—it’s operational.


⭐ FEATURED SNIPPET: What Is Mark Savaya’s Mission in Iraq?

Mark Savaya is leading a U.S. effort to support government formation, block Iranian-backed militias, track stolen funds, and pursue senior Iraqi officials involved in corruption.


๐Ÿ’ฐ Stolen Wealth, Fake Identities, Foreign Passports

Savaya revealed that:

  • Looted Iraqi funds were converted into real estate

  • Officials obtained foreign nationalities

  • Identities were falsified to hide stolen wealth

This explains:

  • Budget shortfalls

  • Economic volatility

  • Chronic instability

Iraq doesn’t lack money.
It has been robbed.


⚠️ Why Savaya Is Under Attack

Rumors of Savaya’s dismissal are not surprising.

Why?

Because he’s:

  • Naming names

  • Tracking families

  • Coordinating accountability

  • Exposing financial pipelines

When corruption feels threatened—it fights back.


๐ŸŒช️ Iraq in the Eye of the Storm

Economist Manar Al-Obaidi summed it up best:

Iraq is no longer approaching a crisis—it is inside it.

No more temporary fixes.
No more “painkillers.”

This is the storm that either:

  • Cleanses the system
    or

  • Destroys what remains


๐Ÿ”ฎ Final Thoughts: Necessary Pain Before Progress

This moment is uncomfortable.
It is volatile.
It is dangerous.

But it is also necessary.

Corruption does not leave quietly.
Power does not surrender willingly.

What we are seeing now is the cost of truth.

Can it get much worse than this?

☹So, in this next article we learn of Nori al-Maliki’s response to President Trump’s recent tweets about him. The article is titled “MALIKI’S FIRST RESPONSE TO TRUMP: I REJECT AMERICAN INTERFERENCE… AND I WILL CONTINUE WORKING UNTIL THE END.” In it we learn that Nouri al-Maliki, the candidate nominated by the Coordination Framework for the premiership, responded to US President Donald Trump’s rejection of him, saying that he “will continue working until the end.”

Working until the end? What the hell does that mean? It means that al-Maliki will not concede to al-Sudani and will keep pushing to get into power anyway he can. He will say and do anything to get there.

Al-Maliki said in a post monitored by “Al-Jabal” that “we categorically reject the blatant American interference in the internal affairs of Iraq, and we consider it a violation of its sovereignty and contrary to the democratic system in Iraq after 2003, and an infringement on the decision of the Coordination Framework for choosing its candidate for the position of Prime Minister.” 

A Reality Check for al-Maliki:

I don’t buy it! Oh… but it is okay for Iran, who is also in direct violation of Iraqi sovereignty, to interfere in Iraqi elections and internal affairs? Of course, Maliki does not look at Iran as a foreign country as his is loyalty is to Iran first and his warped mind cannot grasp the reality as it is about to come down hard on him and he knows it. This attempt for a third term as prime minister may be the final straw, the ending chapter  to al-Maliki for good this time. God works in strange ways. If he does not back-off this will only result in his final days coming much sooner than later….enough said…. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Other responses to Trump message to Iraq…

In the article titled “A POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE IN IRAQ: KHAZALI IS RELIEVED, HAKIM IS RIGHT, AND SUDANI IS PREPARING” we learn what the Dawa Party has to say. The Dawa Party responds with a verse about tyranny. Trump’s remarks about Iraq and its prime minister were not just “blatant interference,” as many described it, but a new way of speaking to Iraq as a “great country” and not just an area attached to the Iranian file.

The longest 48 hours since the beginning of the year, from the warning conveyed by the leader of the Wisdom Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, against the nomination of Nouri al-Maliki, to the “dispelling of all doubt” when Trump himself and his tweets descended upon the Iraqi scene and opened fire mercilessly on al-Maliki, who had been celebrating among his supporters hours earlier his imminent return to the palace. Not so fast Maliki….

“AL-MALIKI STRUCK AT THE IRANIAN AXIS,” BUT IT WAS TO NO AVAIL.

Really? In the past few hours, Maliki’s team has tried to deal with the intense campaign that followed the American message. Spokespeople for the State of Law Coalition have spread out across the media to emphasize that Maliki is not subservient to Iran, but rather that he “struck the Iranian axis,” as leader Diaa al-Nasiri said, recalling Maliki’s complaint against Bashar al-Assad’s regime, but the matter was not useful. That’s an important point. Maliki is just all words and no action. Get it? Just because he spoke out again Iran makes to difference, nothing changed. He has no power and he knows it.

However, the coalition leadership has not yet given any indication of surrender. On the contrary, Minister of Youth and Sports Ahmed Al-Mubarraq, a close associate of Maliki, posted a Quranic verse, saying that he would not abandon the “true leader.” The post read: “They plot, and Allah plots, and Allah is the best of plotters. Abu Israa, day after day you prove that you are the true leader in a time of false leaders. We will not abandon you, for you are the right choice. He will continue to support Maliki.”

I find there is a parallel between the loyalist to Maliki (and his like) in Iraq to the democrats in the US. How can you stay so loyal to a party of hypocrites and corrupt individuals even when they are exposed openly and you have the proof. You can hear their lies and you have to be an idiot not to see how they are destroying your own country, yet you maintain loyalty to them just to spite someone else, who apparently is solving the mess their own party created. There is even no comparison from the work of al-Sudani and al-Maliki. Al-Sudani only had four years and the progress he made in that timeframe helped overcome the damage of Maliki. Do these people have no morals or values? Are they mentally retarded? How do they think prosperity and abundance comes, from stealing it (if you can)? Apparently these crooked people don’t feel they have any obligation to serve the people.

What is the mission does Mark Savaya have in Iraq? Our attention to this mission is presented in a few articles which I will present below titled:

  • SAVAYA OPENS TWO FRONTS: WE WILL PURSUE SENIOR IRAQI OFFICIALS, THEIR FOREIGN PASSPORTS, AND THE GOVERNMENT ON OUR TERMS.

The US President’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, confirmed on Tuesday (January 27, 2026) that his team is working on the ground in Iraq to support efforts to form a new government and prevent Iranian-backed militias from coming to power, stressing that preparing to confront the corruption crisis in the country is no less important than the ongoing political and security battle.

I believe the new Iraqi constitution of 2025 states that politicians running for office must be an Iraq citizen. Why has no one challenged up to now these Iranians who were elected in parliamentary positions? Do you see part of the problem here?

  • SAVAYA REVEALS THE TRUTH: IRAQ’S LOOTED FUNDS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO REAL ESTATE AND FOREIGN NATIONALITIES WITH FAKE IDENTITIES.

Mark Savaya, the envoy of US President Donald Trump, made a series of fiery statements regarding the political and financial files in Iraq for 2026, revealing intensive American “field” movements aimed at redrawing the map of power and pursuing the whales of corruption. In a blog post on the “X” platform, which was reviewed by the “Iraq Observer” agency, Savaya stated that “an American team is currently working on the ground to support the formation of a new Iraqi government,” stressing that Washington’s top priority at this stage is “preventing Iranian-backed factions and militias from accessing positions of power and decision-making,” in a clear indication of a firm American approach to reducing Tehran’s influence in Baghdad. Can the US find ways to claw back these stolen funds? No wonder Iraq’s economy is so volatile and they have an issue meeting their budget. They are stealing the money not that they don’t have the funds.

  • “SAVAYA: WE HAVE REACHED A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AMONG SENIOR IRAQI OFFICIALS AND THEIR FAMILIES”.

The US envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, confirmed that a comprehensive understanding has been reached of the individuals involved in corruption cases in Iraq, noting that this includes senior government officials and their family members who have benefited from corruption fundsSavaya stated in a post on the X platform on Tuesday (January 27, 2026) that “while our team works on the ground in Iraq to support the formation of a new government and prevent Iranian-backed militias from gaining access to centers of power, it is equally, if not more, important to prepare for the corruption crisis in Iraq.”

Its no wonder why rumors are floating around of Savaya being dismissed from his mission in Iraq.

  • “AN ECONOMIST WARNS: IRAQ IS IN THE EYE OF THE STORM, AND TEMPORARY FIXES ARE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE.”

Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi warned on Tuesday that Iraq has entered a post-economic crisis phase, indicating that the country is now in the “eye of a real hurricane,” and that patchwork solutions or what he described as “painkillers” are no longer effective after the situation spiraled out of control. Al-Ubaidi said in a Facebook post, which was followed by Al-Sa’a Network, that “Iraq is no longer in the stage of warning or forecasting, but is in the heart of the storm itself, where no patchwork solutions or temporary painkillers are of any use,” noting that “things have gotten out of control, and Iraq today is in the vortex of a real hurricane .”

  • “MARK SAVAYA SAYS ROADMAP UNDERWAY TO CONFRONT CORRUPTION CRISIS IN IRAQ”

Mark Savaya said a roadmap is being implemented to confront corruption in Iraq, track stolen funds, identify beneficiaries, and enforce accountability in coordination with US institutions, as Washington highlights Iraq’s stabilizing regional role.  

  • “SAVAYA: WE HAVE REACHED A COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AMONG SENIOR IRAQI OFFICIALS AND THEIR FAMILIES.”

The US envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, confirmed that a comprehensive understanding has been reached of the individuals involved in corruption cases in Iraq, noting that this includes senior government officials and their family members who have benefited from corruption funds. Savaya stated in a post on the X platform on Tuesday (January 27, 2026) that “while our team works on the ground in Iraq to support the formation of a new government and prevent Iranian-backed militias from gaining access to centers of power, it is equally, if not more, important to prepare for the corruption crisis in Iraq.”
