Somebody in DC needs a kick in the can.
Why shouldn’t the Saudis buy from us, since we’ve been protecting their worthless asses for all these years?
If the Saudis had US made copters and tanks, we could co-ordinate any ground defense of their sandbox much more easily.
And we could have had a way to recycle those petrodollars back to our shores.
But no—these useless camel humpers have to go buy non US arms—and from our budding enemy and former enemy, Russia.
We’ve had 34 years to make ourselves energy independent and look at us—importing more oil than ever.
The Saudis should be returned to their traditional past—as eternally wandering nomads in the desert. Whio needs friends like these?
They’ve already reverse engineered the stuff we’ve sent them, they need other stuff to bribe the chinese with in case things go south with us.
