‘The report said that if Kuwait did choose to buy the Eurofighter Typhoon, the decision would be a surprise given “the extent to which Kuwait is under American influence since the first Gulf war” in 1990-1991 to counter the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq.”
How quick the ungrateful b@$%^rds forget!
It’s not that they’ve forgotten. You can’t plan to fight the last war. In the future they know they can’t count on the support of the Americans. Kuwait and Saudia Arabia will share a common fate, abandoned by the Americans who seek closer ties with the Persians.

Britain, which makes 37.4% of the Eurofighter, also fought in the Gulf War, so I don’t see how the Kuwaitis have any sought of moral obligation to only buy American.
