Mister President, in the patois of your native New York City, pull your head out of your ass concerning the Middle East. The Saudis AND their government are nearly all religious fanatics of the Wahhabi, Sunni variety. The Al- Saud family run an absolute tyranny justified by their defense of the fanatic, medievalist brand of Islam that they live by as well as by the support of tribal groups who keep the Al-Saud secure as they always have.
Wake up! All the world is NOT a market place. Some things that cannot have dollar signs attached to them are more important than money. The men who fought in The Bulge, on Okinawa or in the Ia Drang Valley knew that. Why do you not know that?Sic Semper Tyrannis
Let the Russians or the Chinese fight over Saudi money, not us!
Col. W. Patrick Lang, US Army (ret.)
At the Defense Intelligence Agency, Lang was the Defense Intelligence Officer (DIO) for the Middle East, South Asia and counter-terrorism, and later, the first Director of the Defense Humint Service. At the DIA, he was a member of the Defense Senior Executive Service. He participated in the drafting of National Intelligence Estimates. From 1992 to 1994, all the U.S. military attachés worldwide reported to him. During that period, he also briefed President George H. W. Bush at the White House, as he had during Operation Desert Storm.
He was also the head of intelligence analysis for the Middle East for seven or eight years at that institution. He was the head of all the Middle East and South Asia analysis in DIA for counter-terrorism for seven years. For his service in the DIA, Lang received the Presidential Rank Award of Distinguished Executive. — Wikipedia
Neither the Russians or the Chinese have any love for the Saudis, given the Saudi role in Chechnya and Uyghur.
ReplyDeleteTrump has had a bizarre devotion to the Saudis since he visited their sh*thole country in May 2017. Remember that picture of Trump with the Saudi king, plus Egyptian dictator Abdel Fattah el-Sisi all laying their hands on that glowing orb? The three of them stood touching that thing for an entire two minutes, sharing brainwaves like those apes touching the monolith in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
That glowing sphere was located in the newly opened “Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology” in Riyadh. Saudi extremists pretending to fight extremism is like the USA pretending to oppose war, or like Israelis pretending to oppose intolerance.
It is true that U.S. weapons makers have collected a fortune selling death to the Saudi rag-heads, but Trump’s obeisance to the camel humpers is something extra. Something warped and perverse. The Saudis own Trump. (But then, they also owned Hillary).
From Saudi Arabia, Trump flew to grovel before his other masters, the Israelis.
OFF TOPIC
ReplyDeleteI just logged on to the Google home page and saw that the logo had been made gray in honor of the mass-murdering P.O.S. George Bush Sr.
Today (Wed. 5 Dec 2018) will be a national day of mourning for the P.O.S.
US flags will be flown at half-mast nationwide. Most federal, state, and county employees will be excused from work (with pay). Post offices will be closed. Mail delivery will halt. The NY Stock Exchange will be shut down all day.
Can you believe this crap?
It’s worse than when McCain died (another mass murdering P.O.S.)
Follow the money. WW3 - it's good for profits!
