In both cases the US and its cronies have their fingerprints all over.
Tge Iraqi PM was punished and asked to resign by one of two parliament bloc leaders who put him there, the reasons:
- Visiting China and signing agreements worth over $ 200 billion, that's not why the US invaded and destroyed Iraq.
- Opening the Bu Kamal border crossing with Syria, that's not why the US created ISIS...
That head of parliament bloc guy met the Saudis and suddenly called for this guy's resignation just months after Mahdi assumed his post to 'fix the elections system', Mahdi and the other parliament bloc head argued better to fix the elections when in government and not when in chaos, that guy replies in a tweet: I can't guarantee people will not get killed protesting you! And that's exactly what happened and this man resigned.
Now chaos in Iraq.
As for HK, the same US crying over the past 3 years for alleged Russian meddling in their elections by buying Facebook ads worth $ 3000 and appointing Trump instead of Hillary, is way deep deciding the constitution of HK!
