Does any person in the entire regime think this through? I can't believe how pathetic this regime is.

Years ago I went to Kuwait for work. My colleague who had been there many times told me Americans are treated like royalty because Kuwaitis remained grateful to Bush Sr. and the military for saving them from the Iraqi attacks. He was right. Everyone was so gracious.

And now Trump is responsible for their being attacked. Ruins so much good will.

Just wondering - Does Iran bear any responsibility for bombing the civilian infrastructure of its neighbors?
Is this considered a legitimate target?

The dollar amount of damage done to Gulf States since Feb. 28, including lost business.

Must be pretty damn hefty.

It’s the tab that will never be paid. Add the Gulf States to the list of people and entities that have been stiffed by Donald Trump over the course of his miserable life.
