kuwait , my great country ( at least in my eye ) it has its up and downs , but its still my country

News reporting in kuwait

We realy have some bad reporting in kuwait , i don’t know why , is it because they are lazy or because no one care

For example i read this today
AlWatan[Arabic]
I remmber i read about this before , but some stuff were strange
like this part

بعدما قامت والدته الموجودة في الولايات الامريكية بالاتصال بالخارجية الامريكية

After his mother in the USA called the Department of State

and this Line

وأشادت والدته بالسلطات الكويتية والتي منعت ابنها من دخول العراق

And the mother Praised the Kuwaiti authority that blocked her son from entering Iraq

And I was a bit shocked , that wasn’t what i Read …
So i go Back and Read the AP article

Check this part

As luck would have it, the teenager found himself at the Iraq-Kuwait line sometime on Dec. 13, and the border security was extra tight because of Iraq’s Dec. 15 parliamentary elections. The timing saved him from a dangerous trip.

Why the Date is important ? check the other post they claim they posted before AlWatan[Arabic]
It was posted on Dec 16 , but he was already Turned down at the border , not because his name was there , but because of the Election and the General Close down of the borders

And as Further proof that his name wasn’t on the list ( else he would have been delivered to the US embassy ) check this part from the AP article

He again called his father, who told him to come home. But the teen insisted on going to Baghdad. His father advised him to stay with family friends in Beirut, Lebanon, so he flew there, spending 10 days before flying to Baghdad on Christmas

That doesn’t Sound like someone his family wanted to be stoped … or the family thanks kuwait for stoping , because they helped him go in Iraq
and he went in Iraq , so why the hell would they thank kuwait ? a thank you is good , but we don’t need to fabricate one

OH and the Kid is an Asshole , they are trying to make his a hero somehow but to me he is a total asshole
Leaving your parents like that , going into a danger zone , bad mouthing poor people

“In one day I probably spent like $250 on taxis,” he said. “And they’re so evil too, because they ripped me off, and when I wouldn’t pay the ripped-off price they started threatening me. It was bad.”

Wow he took you on a Round Trip from the Airport to Abdili and back , and you think 80kd is a ripoff ? Last time i went to the airport they had Price list , i remmber it had Wafra ( south border of kuwait ) 30 kd one way .
try to take a NYC cap for the same trip and see how much he would charge you .

Kuwait Strongest convention!

BillBoard in kuwait

Yes, Kuwait Strongest Real Estate convention, not the biggest or the best, but the Strongest

I wonder why they chose the Strongest, not the biggest, is it because the companies flex their muscle around while selling ?.

To answer these questions , I went there and took some pictures

An Agent on the floor

Flex

This guy tried to sell me a land in South Surrah, I nearly bought it

Flex

So my advice, don’t go there without a bodyguard
