Agreed. What was so great about Kuwait? And they were caught red-handed side-drilling into Iraqi oil fields.
And Kuwait was at one time, part of Iraq someone was telling me. Maybe.
Iraq had woman doctors I’ve heard, destroy one Saddam and a thousand Bin Ladens spring up.
No, to make it work, a continuing presence was needed to keep the lid on.
They sell their oil for US dollars and only US dollars?
Personally I was leaning towards not helping Kuwait since I recalled the US asking Kuwait for permission to place US Naval assets in Kuwait and Kuwait said not. That Forced the US Navy to bring in huge barges for said assets. Well if Kuwait would not help us (with Iran) then turn around is fair play.
