Well that’s great to know!!!
What do ya know? We’re gonna be pals!
Now I don’t have to give a fu.. about my two firemen friends who died, or any of the other 3000, or the Beautiful Towers I worked in being savagely destroyed.
That’s water under the mother ####ing bridge.
Let’s move on and be friends.
Even after a Saudi funded terror attack takes place again.
New boss the same as the old boss in this instance.
And A president from NYC. Heartbreaking.
Dude, I understand your point, but remember the Saudis DID play THE pivotal role making it possible for Reagan to break the back of the Soviet Union.
You don’t piss that away just because their dog takes a dump in your yard.
He’s the president of the United States, not the president
of Staten Island.
Maybe you read it more thoroughly than I did but I cannot find anything about being friends or pals with the Saudis in this article. Looks Trump did quite well.
See #8 and then google the term vassal.
And the IEDs in Iraq with components showing they were assembled by Iran?
The difference is, Saudi Arabia is a bunch of rich princes at the top, trying to hold in check a low-skill populace by buying them off with oil money; and IIRC, with several cities very important to Islam in their territory, which confers on them legitimacy.
They are trying to hold off militant Islam sects ("Wahabbi"-ism) from toppling them from power, by funding missionary efforts overseas. But it is not official government policy; and, the House of Saud remembers we saved them from Saddam Hussein.
Iran is likewise feeding militant Islamic sects, but officially, as government policy; and then there's the whole Sunni vs. Shia thing, which apparently sets Iran and the Saudis against each other, as long as there's nobody else more important to kill, like Jews, Christians, or Westerners.
I think Iran in its own way is trying to become the seat of new Caliphate; as is Turkey in its own way.
NYC hates him. In 2016:
It's New Yawk values, dontcha know!
This is extremely different from both Bush 1&2 and Obama bowing and scraping and kissing Saudi rings
President Trump has made it clear they owe US money & allegiance for our protection......plus more
And they came here to let him know they got the message
Trump walks softly but carries a BIG STICK
This is the Saudi War King.. he isn’t any of the lightweights from years ago. I see your rationale, but America stopped thinking about that on 9/13. I think know your enemies is warranted here. This guy was not responsible for 9/11.. but he holds enormous power and is an actionable power player.
do you enjoy the snake handlers in your church on Sunday mornings?
We have had a close and productive relationship with the Saudis for a long time beginning with FDR. It is in our national strategic interests to continue to do so.
