    The negligents here may have been the racist and arrogant US administration that did not bother to let the local airspace know there was some upcoming shiz. Kuwait is an ally, so I’m sure they’d be chill.

    But Kegseth is the manliest man of all men and manly men don’t need no deconfliction. Fucking idiots.

      It’s true. We unironically can’t be sure it was all the feckless third world ally making feckless third world military things happen, this time.

        I always get a wave of nostalgia to when I was playing AC4&5 when I was like, 8 and 11ish? when I see stuff like this. One of my first tastes of “was is really fucking bad and also warplanes are cool as fuck”

      They do. But if the US doesn’t communicate, like they didn’t here, then that information won’t be accurate.

          Does it though? This isn’t even approaching being out of the ordinary for this administration.

          Everything they do is implemented in the most incompetent fashion, because everyone running this now has no relevant experience for what they’re supposed to be running. They all come through the fascism media news machine and Trump puts them in charge of something as a reward for being a yes man.

              The people flying the jets aren’t handling the logistics of telling Kuwait they’re going to be in the airspace.

              And those pilots are going to assume that their logistics infrastructure did the bare minimum and that they don’t need to worry about Kuwaiti air defense because they’re on the same side and IFF should identify them correctly.

              Well, they would have assumed that previously, they might not anymore.
