    Iraq paid for those schools (a 2021 deal is referenced, where this was in exchange for oil - a fact the article specifically avoids mentioning).

    This is essentially an article about someone ordering a product, paying for it, and getting it delivered.

      Not sure what you think the gotcha here is. Making a deal to trade oil for infrastructure is certainly a lot better than having US empire invade you, bomb the shit out of your country, and then take your oil.
