[2026-06-12] @iribnews_irib@twitter.com: Kuwait is on the verge of purchasing a $1.98 billion package of anti-drone systems from the United States.

American trade:

  1. Builds a military base in your country.
  2. Attacks another country from that base.
  3. Then sells a defense system to your country!
