@svgmn1 why the fuck did saddam invade kuwait? He should have gone to syria tbh.
buckle up this is going to be a wall of text, so don't come at me with your dnr BOOSHIT nigga cause you literally asked for it.
after the Iran-Iraq war was finished in 1988, saddam faced two huge problem manifested in
A-the rapidly declining economics in his country (this point has some huge foreshadowing and will be mentioned later)
B- the inflated number of military personnel and spending.
saddam was advised by his military councilor and chief of operations Nizar al-Khazraji to lay excess numbers in the military and reforming, saddam instead took the only other option which was engaging in another war or launching an occupational operation which was retarded if you consider the amount of losses both Iraq and Iran endured, Iran in contrast happily settled with the first option and this should give you an idea of how retarded saddam was that even a children-fucking literal mud biting mullah was strategically smarter than him.
Saddam first sought after the usual suspect, as you guessed, kikes. he told his councilor (mentioned before) that he was going to send their trashy mid 20th century jetfighters for a """""landmark calculation""""""" mission, this didn't pass on anyone and it was clear both to Israel and US, both of which warned Saddam that they were going to take actions if he did another recon mission to prepare for launching an attack.
Saddam, realizing that kikesreal will no longer pass on his bs after winning wars against arab league and getting American support, concluded that kikes are too big of a cat to play with (especially after they made his secret nuclear toy assembly material disintegrate in a matter of seconds after bombing the shit out of them) decided that Kuwait was the best possible option.
Mainstream media and gulf oil rich and priviliged murican cock swallowing niggers will tell you that it was unprovoked and Saddam was just a mad dictator, so do Americans, but there's no smoke without fire:
1-during the Iran-Iraq war the gulf cooperational council, in which Kuwait was a member of decided that they're not going to interfere with Iraq-Iran war after years of pushing saddam and keeping pressure on him politically to go to war with Iran (so did the US) I will not go on detail on how they did this because this alone needs a separate thread. Kuwait was the worst country or the brutus of these mainly because they're literally next to both Iraq and Iran, so Iranian battleships were sailing right infront of them and they were like see no evil, hear no evil.
2-Kuwait was literally part of Iraq, abdul kareem qasim (a former president before saddam) lost the bet on adding Kuwait to Iraq when political borders were drawn. Kuwaitis themselves considered themselves part of Basrah, a historical and major Iraqi city and governorate.
3- (most likely the main reason) After the first gulf war was over, Kuwait decided to press on Iraq even further despite Iraq's horrible financial situation by increasing their oil production beyond OPEC quotas intentionally as well as slant drilling into the Rumaila which was on the Iraq-Kuwait border. they also developed Mubarak Al Kabeer Port, all of this happened during the end and after Iraq's war when they could do it much earlier and that's why it was intentional.
anyways, their sudden inflated oil production and literal theft of Iraqi fields made the oil prices to plummet to shit which fucking destroyed Iraq's hope of reforming it's economy since it's major export was oil.
Iraq was also in debt after the war to these gulf countries, Kuwait as expected refused to put down the debt, even though Iraq was serving as a scapegoat against Iranian threats for gulf countries back then.
all of these factors are directly affected by point A mentioned above, and since Saddam's main concern was reforming the economy this strengthened Saddam's faith that Kuwait was the best option. however it's worth to mention that you can't pinpoint point no.3 as the sole reason, all of these were cumulative factors and considering how dirty Gulf niggers played Iraq, especially Kuwait then you will conclude that those Kuwaiti sandniggers definitely deserved what happened to them. it's even more factual after considering the fact that Iraq is still paying them back in debt, kuwait was the literal jew kike state of arab countries.
