He’s allowed to have his opinion. It is possible that both sides are messed up. In that case, and end to the war is best for all. Ukraine is going to lose some land. That happens in war.

Frankly, I would have been happy to let Iraq keep Kuwait. They weren’t our ally, and they weren’t worth U.S. lives.

I think one concern was that he would digest Kuwait and Hussein’s next meal would be Saudi Arabia. I don’t care about SA per se, but access to oil was important at that time.
