While President Trump is “locked and loaded” and “waiting to hear” from Saudi Arabia about who was behind last weekend’s drone attacks on two of the Kingdom’s oil plants, Democratic presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard fired off an attack of her own on Twitter :

‘Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”’
This isn’t the first time Gabbard, whose running for office on a platform that includes breaking up the U.S./Saudi alliance, has driven this point home before:

Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not “America First.”

The USA is in a pickle; we still use a lot of oil and we have created part of the problem with Iran.

One of the unintended consequences of removing Saddam from Iraq was there was no Arab tough man to confront Iran.

To review some history, Iraq and Iran had a very nasty war for a while; the arab states who were weak (like Kuwait) and Saudi Arabia were happy to sic the pit bull Saddam on Iran.

Later, when the Arabs didn't pay any tribute to Saddam he was rightly pissed off and tried to take Kuwait for spite and maybe payment for his efforts.

Well, the USA got rid of the local tough guy and now Iran is the big man on the block.

What the fuck does Tulsi put in her car's gas tank? Sunflower oil? We use oil and there is a lot of it in Saudi Arabia.

This is the unfortunate reality of the middle east; they have a lot of oil and we use a lot of oil. The other unfortunate reality is the Saudis will never be tough enough to do shit against Iran.

She’s getting kind of sassy now that her chances have apparently slipped away.

I'm sick Iran's shit, and I'm tired of them being used as an excuse to raise the price of Oil, which in turn manipulates all of the other commodes including food and the Dollar index.


Fuck Iran! Let's torch this Puppy!

Then when we're done, Saudi, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and Qtar should shut the fuck up.
There wont be a Muzzie shit hole nation big enough to have to their backs, when we get tired of their shit too.

Yeah, it is either Russia or Saudi. At least the Saudi's are rich.


Do you honestly think Russia or Saudi Arabia are happy that Trump dramatically increased fracking and energy production in the US and are building LNG export facilities?

Nothing hurts Russia and OPEC more than America being largely energy independent and acting as a hedge against oil shocks in the ME.

Thanks to the miracle of fracking, we now have the luxury of sitting back and letting Iran twist on a vine and not risk any of our troops in a shooting war or have our economy tank because of Muslims killing each other.

Virtually every Democrat candidate is pledging to ban fracking and shutter our booming energy sector making us hostage to Russia and OPEC again.

I respect Tulsi's stance, but Trump has done quite a bit to stay out of war so far. I think in addition to keeping Trump in check wrt SA Tulsi should focus more on the leftoid politbureau/aparatschiks who have been sabotaging her campaign left and right. She can focus on taking on Trump once she actually gets a chance to run.

There is still zero evidence to support the Russia delusion. It's just a fantasy to explain Trump's win, while the true answer is that Democrats sold out our working class to globalist corporations.

But we do have major foreign interference from the Saudis, the very source of worldwide Islamic terrorism. They are the real threat, and may well drag us into yet another war.

Like China and manufacturing with no enviro laws, Greenies also forget that just because we don't frack doesn't mean others won't.

After reading Orwell's Notes on Nationalism, it's clear to me that many Left/Greenies just want to weaken America, the given reason is simply that rationalization to that.

China is stone cold busted violating the Montreal Protocol, but I've hardly heard a peep from the Environmentalists about it.

Agreed on both. Boosting Oil and Gas production was one of the smartest moves by Trump. Sure we also need to protect the environment but breaking independence first is most important.

For all my gripe against Trump, he has kept us out of war so I have no complaints over there.


Agreed and one of the surprising things especially with all the forces trying to push the US into conflicts.

Yes Trump is countering the warmongers, as he is countering the unfettered immigration crowd, and countering the offshore our jobs crowd. He does not have much help from Dem and Repubs in these matters.
