Heck no
Stupid question.
It’s the middle east!!!
Pat Puke. Always making trouble and fighting on the wrong side.
Somehow, the Lamestream press never notice that Khashoggi is a Muzzie terrorist.
REALPOLITIK: No permanent Allies only permanent interests.
Odd how the dominant neo-marxist media has everyone focused on SA but not on Mexico with hundreds of dead journalists.
Arabs are Arabs. They will do whatever benefits their family and tribe at the moment.
Of course not.
Don’t know how factual Buchanan’s assertions are, but I’ve not yet drawn any conclusions regarding the wisdom of our current policy. Would other countries fill the void and sell the Saudis advanced weaponry if we choose to reduce our involvement? I’m not sure Russia would if the battle in Yemen is indeed a proxy war between Iran and SA. Hard to imagine Russia would support both Iran and SA.
Would the Western European countries sell SA arms? I’m not so sure.
If anyone has any information that would clarify this for me (us), I would appreciate your sharing. All the better if you can source it.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!
They’re dangerous as all HELL to America (and they’re continuing to use our money to recruit and train thousands of anti-Christian blood-thirsty Moslem terrorist murder gangsters ... and infiltrate them en masse into USA, Europe, UK, etc.). As part of this, the Saudi dictators fund terrorist training camps and recruitment centers (including the most antiAmerican Whahabbi type mosques)...
very very Satanic, dangerous dictators...NOT NOT NOT our friends!
“Trump is unabashedly putting U.S. economic and strategic interests first.”
This is the key point.
Saudi is an important ally against Iran and against Muslim terrorists. Trump is putting the lives of Americans ahead of the life of a Muslim Brotherhood member.
Bush was a sentimental fool who apparently believed in the virtue of the “great and the good,” VERY much to the detriment to the prospects of this country. Trump is the only guy who stepped up and he has undergone unprecedented abuse, and a lot of that has been at the hands of the allies of the wrong-minded George the Younger.
Trump is no fool, and he will turn on a dime if the Crown Prince makes the mistake of trying to screw him over. Bush was an unmitigated disaster but Trump will totally rearrange this guy’s life if this prince tries to mess him around because he will not be bound by mistakes of the past if he is still in a position to change the outcome.
“My Enemies Enemy is My Friend”
The Saudis act in self interest as do we. At this time and place our interests coincide. This is always subject to change.
We only have one true friend in that region and even their interests don’t always line up 100% with our own. As for the rest of them, they’re all a bunch of islamist kleptocrats that can’t be trusted any farther than you can throw them. The Turks aren’t any better than the Saudis and this murdered reporter was just as unsavory as any of them.
Considering that this is a case of bad guys vs bad guys, Trump’s completely right about this. Choose the side that benefits us the most.
Muslims are forbidden from befriending infidels.
It’s in their book.
The real answer? Yes & No.
Only as it works to their obvious benefit.
They are not known for being magnanimous or generous.
This entire Muslim invasion of Western Europe could have been avoided had the Saudi’s invited these people to move there.
The Saudi’s have acres of Tent Cities already set up, and kept empty for the last couple of years.
Display purposes only, apparently.
It’s very very seldom I disagree with Pat.
Just cuz we see Iran as 1% more evil than SA, I don’t think that’s plunging us into a needless war.
If Iran gets bellicose, let Israel deal with it, since it’s her backyard...
If you want a friend, get a dog!
Netanyahu and I believe Sisi too, have wanted us to go easy on the Saudis in this.
What I figure, is that states assassinate people, some states, not all. They got caught. They can be tried through public opinion. I don’t care if we have some Senators that are going to try and leverage sanctions on KSA per the Magnitsky act.
No. 9/11 should’ve settled that question.
Just friends,
But not like before
