If the Straights of Hormuz are blocks with sunken ships the House of Saud would be hurt. They might want us to fight their wars - like past American Presidents have done - but they're not fools about Trump.

If we got dragged into a war Trump would make the House of Saud cough up people and cash - and not just for thugs in DC, thugs in the Military, military contractors, and politicians to 'give million dollar speeches' etc - the usual 'legal graft' Washington is known for.. ... Trump would make them pay the AMERICAN PEOPLE back. Trump's NOT corrupt and he's not a fool.

The Saud's won't be that gung ho for OUR deaths if theirs are on the table too.

You haven’t been listening to the Saudis. They have publicly urged US to fight Iran. The logical next step is to stage an incident that will push us into doing so

Remember the Maine

Remember Gulf of Tonkin

Remember Saddams WMDs

Looks like we could be fooled into war again. This is why I discourage all members of my family from joining the military, with the possible exception of the Coast Guard. Our wars these days are in the service of special interests and foreign countries, not the defense of America.

If a family member wants to serve in uniform, I recommend the Border Patrol. They’re defending America’s sovereignty, not Saudi Arabia’s

"... Trump would make them pay the AMERICAN PEOPLE back."

Riiiight. And how much are we getting from Iraqi oil sales ?

The Saudis are an integral part of keeping the dollar as the world reserve currency. Screw with them about much of anything other than taking orders for weapons and they'll start taking payment in gold which would collapse the dollar in a heartbeat.

Until the US pays off the $22 trillion in debt we've run up no one will pressure the Saudis about anything. Our whole government worked overtime to cover their asses after 9/11 when we didn't even have half as much debt.

Put the pipe down, pal, you're definitely one toke over the line.
