Just part of the peace process. Nothing to see here.

Iran don't give a goat f**k about violating the Geneva Convention.

Trump has to go scorched earth. A pull out now would look just as bad as Bidens pull out of Afghanistan. Less the loss of life to our military obviously.

Kuwait is an oil rich country. Why do we have to defend them?

Correct and neither should we. Enemies don’t play fair in war.

It’s a major hub for our military in the region. The army has annual “deployments” to Kuwait and permanent personnel. That’s why Iran is attacking Kuwait.

AI slop account. Any idiot can "connect" that the terminal at Kuwait airport isn't a military base. And then the post ends begging you to "turn on notifications."

I wish we could get rid of the twitter embeds, the accounts are mostly garbage and we're increasingly getting over-run with posts trying to drive followers to these shite accounts.

This is pure insanity on those in charge of Iran. They need to be hit with extreme consequences. Cant believe we have been negotiating with these idiots.

Let me help for those that don't have twitter.

because most people only think about the war..

Kuwait International Airport isn't just a military target.. it's the transit hub for over 1 million Indian workers in the Gulf.. it's the connection point for oil workers, expats, construction crews, nurses, and engineers who send money home every single month..

13 ballistic missiles and 17 drones hit Terminal 1 this morning..

1 person killed.. 63 wounded.. passengers and airport staff.. people who were just trying to get home..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

this isn't a military base.. this isn't a weapons depot.. this is the building where you check your bags..

flights are suspended.. Terminal 1 is on fire.. and the smoke visible across Kuwait City is coming from the same terminal your family member landed in last year..

Iran has now hit Kuwait's airport twice in 2026.. the first time was the fuel tanks in April.. this time it was the passenger terminal itself..

the last time civilian airports became active war targets at this scale was the Gulf War in 1991.. it took years to rebuild the regional air network..

that was one war in one country.. we're now watching every Gulf hub get added to the target list at the same time..

in 1991 a single airport hit disrupted the Gulf for years.. nobody has a playbook for what hitting all of them does.

I'll share more updates shortly. Turn on notifications, this is very important.

I pointed out last night that we would have to wait for confirmation on the ground when the sun came up to see if CENTCOM was telling the truth about knocking down every Iranian missile in Kuwait. This is why nobody can take *anything* we say at face value.

This is a bit disingenuous. They shot down everything that was a threat to US interests. Kuwait — which bears it's own responsibility in protecting its interests with its own air defenses — was tasked with protecting itself to a large degree.

I asked in the main thread how many missiles/drones got through Kuwati defenses. The concern is that countries in the region are running low on defensive munitions, and we may not be able to continue to supply the entire region and protect our own interests at the same time.

Am I reading right that centcom allegedly said all is well to avoid blow back or further escalation?

Kuwait has no offensive capability outside of about 35 fighter jets and MLRS, the MLRS doesn't have the range to strike Iran. They've built their entire system as defensive, they also have no navy to speak of.

Well that doesn’t seem neighborly.
Iran doesn’t seem to understand why the majority of the world hates them.

What happened to the supposed good people of Iran taking back their country from the religious nuts?
