The prince really should be put under Magnitsky Act sanctions. We should not sell arms to someone who would have a US resident tortured and murdered. But, the Saudis own Kushner & Trump does other business with them. They "invested" in some of his business interests.
Meanwhile, I heard the troops are going to be called back from the border now that the political stunt served it's purpose.
This isn't that easy. All of our so called "allies" are there for
what we need from them and how they benefit us. (and the rest of the world)
If we retaliate and pull our arms and service men and women from Saudi Arabia. I mean EVERYTHING. Drop the contracts and supply's and support parts for anything we have sold them.
OK, now
Russia bec0mes their bestest buddy.
Which is better for the world in general? Kinda like cutting off the nose to spite the face?
.........no,
it's exactly like that!
Eliminating Saudi Arabia from our list of allies so would cause 1000x the problems as dealing with it
on some other level.
I don't know what that level is, but so far we do not actually know who orchestrated the nasty event.
It looks obvious and in may be............... that said, we do not know, so decisions will have to wait.
I ain't stupid. It's obvious that in no way, 15 people fly in to the embassy, "bassomatic" the reporter, then fly out the following morning. That was planned and financed by someone............... and not just
any someone.
The obvious answer is it's the Prince............... Kinda like blaming
"that" guy in a police lineup.
Sorry, but personally, I need to know, not speculate. Maybe it was his brother, or his dad? Maybe a wealthy supporter of the Prince?
If it is the Prince, we need to find a way to harshly deal with the issue. That
don't include letting Russia be their new arms supplier and bestust buddy. All Russia
doesn't need is one more ally that's angry with us.
This isn't a decision than needs to be made with a knee jerk action. It needs some
very careful thought.
