$17 billion in arms sales. One dead journalist ain't no thing.You're actually pretty funny when you aren't being a complete a-hole....so basically like 5% of the time. --Art Vandelay
Almost everything you post is snarky, smug, condescending, or just downright mean-spirited. --Jeffrey Lebowski
Anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make peace. --President Donald J. Trump
You furnish the pictures, and I’ll furnish the war. --William Randolph Hearst

Not just a Saudi journalist, but a green card holder in the U.S.- about as close to a citizen as you can get. Pretty horrific."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Somewhat predictably Trump seems to be trying to run interference for the Saudis. After Trump in his 60 Minutes interview threw out the idea that maybe it was "rogue operatives" at fault, the Saudis seem to be officially running with that explanation. How much does the Trump Organization stand to lose in business if relations with Saudi Arabia turn bad or if there are sanctions? That's probably all you need to know about Trump's reaction.Last edited by BlueK; 10-16-2018, 01:47 PM.

Most of the countries on that list have almost zero connection to terrorism and present no threat outside the perceived threat of being Muslim. I'm sure it has nothing to do with $$$ though."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

A ton, but those on one side of the course political spectrum have zero interest in his businesses impacting policies.
