The US embassy in Saudi Arabia is currently on fire. Somebody kick Hegseth off his barstool. Somebody else just kick Rubio. Fuck these guys. Seriously. Fuck these guys

While Bibi can and does jerk Trump around, I don’t believe for a second the Trump admin was an unwilling rube here. I assume Rubio and Johnson are saying this so that they can pretend it was a preemptive attack and save a tiny bit of face internationally.

A lot of these Kuwait sites are logistics operations. I spent weeks going between this port and Arifjan at the end of my Iraq tour, getting our shit ready to send home on a boat. There aren't many hardened structures - I lived in a tent most of the time, and I doubt things are much better now.

It's secondary to the real issue of this attack on #Iran being an insane, ILLEGAL war, but the fact that a brave #American female pilot was shot down in #Kuwait must be driving #PeteHegseth crazy...er.

During Desert Storm our troops had air raid sirens, bunkers, and evacuation plans when Scud missiles came at them. There’s no reason we couldn’t provide that this week in Kuwait.

The US service academies (Navy, Air Force, Army) all have 6'9" players on their basketball teams. All of these cadets will go on to serve in the active duty military.

When you are coordinating numerous military organizations with lots of shit flying around in a relatively confined space shit will surely happen.

It happens,

Just recently the USS Gettysburg shot at a pair of US Navy F/A-18's coming into land on their carrier. Shooting down 1.

You don't need 200,000 troops for a victory parade. Maybe Whiskey Pete expects to be greeted as liberators. Just like the folks in Iraq were so glad to be liberated and treated to Jeffersonian democracy.

We don't have 200,000 people to roll in there. It would take months to transfer all the equipment and personnel. We have, like, one 4,000 person armor brigade in Kuwait.

I want the real military folks to be "intense and paranoid." i suspect their greatest fear isn't Iran's military, but Trump and Whiskey Pete.

Pentagon mood: β€œintense and paranoid.”

Turns out lighting a regional powder keg has consequences. Air defenses draining. Retaliation spreading. Leaders worried it could spiral.

But hey β€” I was told this was β€œstrength.” Looks more like geopolitical roulette with live ammo.

The Pentagon should be paranoid. They’ve taken illegal orders from Krasnov, that will benefit Russia and China, and threaten America’s military readiness. They know they are dealing with a criminal.

Low cost drones are easier to replace than Patriot missiles and F-15s.

Inside the Pentagon, and among some members of the Trump administration, there is deepening concern that the Iran conflict could spiral out of control, sources say. -WaPo

The six aircrew that ejected from their F-15s over Kuwait are NOT okay. They will have to be cleared by a flight surgeon to return to flying. This can take months. Even if they are asymptomatic now, they will likely suffer spinal issues for the rest of their lives. For what?!?

πŸ€— INCREDIBLE: Civilians in Kuwait rush to help a US F-15E pilot in the desert who ejected in a friendly-fire incident. Kuwaiti air defenses, possibly US Patriots, mistakenly shot down three F-15E Strike Eagles.
The Kuwaiti man says "you’re safe... Thank you for helping us.”

πŸ“ŒBREAKING: Three American jets shot down over Kuwait during an alleged "friendly fire incident” while taking part in war against Iran.

Let me tell you something: EVERYTHING is wrong here. To start, why weren't the air defensive systems engaged and/or overridden on THREE JETS?

This mission is FUBAR

Hell of a legacy you’re building there, dummy. It doesn’t matter how many times you plaster your name on buildings and ballrooms in tacky gold letters. Your grave will be one big beautiful public urinal.
