IDK man it kind of feels like you’re the one being obtuse, not engaging with the critique of imperialism.
to respond,:
Afghanistan. Taliban. Did 911. US invaded over it. …Okay. And then…And uh.then., Lost. Lost, rather badly, as I heard it. Oh and they gave Lockheed Martin and Raytheon 50 trillion dollars.
My issue with Kuwait is like, the US is still there. And it has been the entire time.
Kuwait isn’t really the same situation as other countries the US has/had a presence in. The relationship is fundamentally different. The US is still in Kuwait in the same sense that they are still in Germany. Kuwait wasn’t invaded by the US like Iraq and Afghanistan were. Kuwait was already a US ally before the war, and remained one afterwards. They allow the US to have bases in Kuwait, but the US isn’t in control of the country, again, same as in Germany. Hell, after some quick Googling, I came across a statistic that said that in 2003, public opinion regarding the US was more favourable in Kuwait than in the US’s western allies (something like 64% favourable in Kuwait vs <50% in Europe).

The USA is still there to ensure reliable global delivery of petroleum as a larger geopolitical play to strengthen global trade which is in the USA’s interests. I’ve not heard the Kuwait ask the USA to leave.
What is your concern that the USA has military bases in Kuwait?
When the west does trade and globalism with a 2nd or 3rd world nation, it’s actually imperial colonialism. When Russia and China do imperial colonialism, it’s actually for their national security, and the betterment of the world or something, idk.
