OK but like specifically with Kuwait… Edit: Also effing yes. I can’t believe I humor this yolksy folksy common sense as take on the Middle East. Just, if words mean anything. When you are maintaining a military force in a country for the purposes of hypothetically fighting in that country, yeah. Why would that not be able to be described as an occupation? -would it happen to be just that the government doesn’t want to call it that? Like how when the president unilaterally declares war without the approval of Congress. It’s a police action. Like how waterboarding isn’t torture because it’s an enhanced interrogation technique, and the water cure before that. How the US didn’t lose in Vietnam? And how the people fleeing from Central and South American countries of the US has intermittently bombed and destabilized are refugees, but get called migrants?
Give me a break
