Without any of the bullshit of previous administrations. That, at least, is refreshing.

Trump's statement on Saudi Arabia is one of the most forthright explanations of foreign policy by a US President--ever. No obfuscation, just plain speaking: the Saudis may do bad things but they are better than their enemies and our alliance with them is in our national interest. https://t.co/yIxPzgZY7v— Joel B.

Best assessment:

Nothing.

The intramural power struggles of Third World barbarians are of little to no concern to us.

American interests are. And having Saudi Arabia on our side is a vital interest even though it is a garbage country.https://t.co/DS0uXi8kF4

The US has supported brutal, murderous dictators, but I am not sure if it ever simultaneously supported a country that attacked it. The support for Israel mandates opposition to Iran. The Saudis are aligned with Israel. FUCKING ROOSKIES!!!!

Just a reminder, Saudis have participated in multiple invasions of Israel. It's only very recently that the Gulf States and Israel are no longer enemies, and that's because of the Mullahs.

Everything is Jimmuh Carter's fault.

That entire region of the world is a fucking mess.
Because Islam.
We need to recognize that fact.

One more time ... where is the Islam-a-GOOD, when there's only an Islam-a-BAD?

Without any bullshit lol I’m not sure what you’re reading

He’s pretending that they’re some great needed ally against Iran. Going to spend billions to combat radical Islamic terrorism lol, they’re the ones spending all the money promoting radical Islamic terrorism. Not Iran. Saudi Barbaria carried out 9/11 against USA.


All Islamic countries are the same. Dangerous barbaric hordes that need to be tamed. Fortunately, they hate each other, which gives us an opportunity to divide and conquer. We need a cruel and barbaric Islamic puppet to go and exterminate his fellow Muslims, because we are too civilized to do it ourselves. I fully support the Saudi barbaric Crown Prince MBS, for this reason, and this reason only.
Long Live the barbaric Saudi Crown Prince. We love you, and thank you for all the horrible things you do, that will eventually destroy Islam, and make the world a better place for all of us.

It is all Cater's fault. Stupid moron supported the overthrow of the Shah of Iran, and we ended up with Ayatollah Khomeini, a wacko that wants to destroy us.
We don't need Carters and Obamas. We need Reagans and Trumps.

USS Liberty. Israel attacked and tried to sink a US Navy vessel in a 4 hour long attack, and yet was continually granted foreign aid by the US Congress. Congress even made a special appropriation to pay Israel for the "reparations" Israel made. President Johnson even called back US forces an admiral send to ward of the attack. Johnson proclaimed himself the "best friend Israel will ever have,"

None of the presidents - first Bush, then Obama, and now Trump - have done anything about the fact that most of 9/11 terrorists, and probably all of 9/11 funding came from Saudi Arabia. If any other country would have supported that type of a terrorist act, killing 3000+ Americans, it would have been bombed to pieces (and Iraq, which did not participate, was bombed back to 16th century just because it is in general vicinity). Instead, first Bush, then Obama, and now Trump suck off Saudi monarchs. Shows that Trump is the same as Bush and Obama to a very large extent.

Not attacked for hours. Lasted little more than one hour, with the Liberty being only 20 miles off the Sinai Coast in the middle of a scorching hot, real war almost as far inside the 250 miles exclusion zone as it wasn't supposed to be, flag hanging limp and unseen by a Mirage 3 flying 300mph at 2000 feet.

The 6th Fleet spent millions to completely revamp their communications network following the incident.

The Liberty had one of the most common hulls and silhouettes in history, being mass produced during and after WW2. The Egyptian Navy had ships of the exact same class and near identical appearance.

No motive, evidence, etc. has ever been provided. Israel and the USA were NOT allies at the time. Nevertheless, restitution was promptly and immediate paid.

Mistake was made even earlier - overthrow of Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, which paved way for corrupt Shah, which paved way for the religious nutjobs ruling Iran now.

No women. No music. No movies. No wine. No partying. No criticizing Islam. No Christmas.

So you were one of the people Trump saw celebrating on 9/11 when the towers fell


Man, was I upset watching those planes crash into the WTC. And then I was livid.
All I want to see is the end of Islam, and if we have to pretend to be friends with these animals in order to destroy them, I'm all for it.
The end justifies the means.

That is precisely what they are trying to do to us. In 2016, Donald Trump was the only candidate to speak candidly about Islam, and what we should do about it: "take the oil." Until there is enough political will in the USA to snap out of Petrdollar hypnosis and take the Persian Gulf, and conquer Mecca and Medina/Yathrib and take the corpse of the dead charlatan Mohamad, there is no option other than to play along.

The question is, with Pakistan wielding 100 nuclear weapons, and millions of Muslims infiltrating into NATO countries, who will be first to use the rocks?
