Was Kuwait strategically vital in 1990? Kuwaiti oil was not desperately needed in this country in 1990. From the figures I've seen, it wasn't needed at all. Reckon the only reason there was a Gulf War I is because Kuwait wasn't invaded by the fucking Russians. We put boots on the ground in Kuwait in 1990, but we don't put any boots on the ground in Ukraine?
Also, over 70% of the Russian people say that it would never be justified for Russia to use a tactical nuclear weapon in its current military operation in Ukraine. And Putin knows this. So is there really a possible nuclear clash that we need to worry about? Or is this just more alt-right bullshit fear mongering. I'm going with the latter.
