no there isn't! I know exactly what's going on!!!There is something seriously wrong with you.Ray, Trump made an unadvised decision, on a phone call in the middle of the night, with no thought or reason, or plan... he betrayed the Kurds who we used to fight ISIS.... our goal and mission.... which forever forward, has made us less safe due to the betrayal, friends will never trust us or give aid to us again...i have a problem with the saudi prince being a cold blooded murderer, and the way pres trump handled it.Trump said we were pulling out of the middle east and sending our military home blah blah blah with Syria, yet he is sending troops to Saudi Arabia.... to protect them from Iran... while at the same time his withdrawal from Syria put more power in Iran's hands?
And the Saudi's paying for these troops of ours, STINKS of it NOT being because it is in our best interest, but the Saudi's...
Trump has no idea of what he is doing when it comes to foreign policy imo...
In case you haven't noticed, energy, and more importantly, energy prices, are partly responsible for the fantastic economy we have today. The Saudi attack was to interrupt part of Trump's success strategy.
What is your problem with Saudi paying us for protection, especially when it's more for our protection than theirs? After all, the attack was not to harm them, it was to harm Trump, because the terrorists would love nothing more than to see a Democrat President in the White House in 2020. There is not much difference between the mentality of a Democrat and a terrorist.
i have a problem withe the saudi support of terrorism
I have a problem with more than 3/4's of the hijackers on 9/11/01 were Saudis...
I have a problem with their mass murdering in Yemen
I have a problem with the way they treat women
they pretty much have been on my sh8t list for a while now...
and quite honestly, they do not deserve our help.
We don't rely on the Saudis for oil as much as we used to.... a much smaller percentage and we've developed our own here in the USA leaps and bounds the past decade
why would trump make a big deal about leaving the middle east with it being ''time to bring them home'' when it came to syria with the Kurds actually being our allies and front line in many of our battles and causes for 50 years or so, only to send our troops to another middle eastern country, saudi arabia?
bat shit crazy, foreign policy, with no thought or reason is what it looks like, imo.
First of all, oil is not domestic, it's worldwide. Having our own only helps, but does not insulate us from oil disruptions across the globe.
Oil is a commodity. As such, people place bets on the direction oil will go. When news like that hits the market, people buy long contracts. A long contract means people are expecting the price of oil to increase, and the more long contracts purchased, the higher the price goes.
Next, who more than Trump is removing troops from the middle-east? When Trump said he wants to get us out of the middle-east, he's talking about conflicts like Turkey where the war has been ongoing for generations, and there is no solution in sight. Meaning we will be there forever if something isn't done. He did not mean we will leave the middle-east entirely and never go back no matter what.
If he does nothing, Iran is likely to continue bombing oil fields until the price of oil is so high it has a major impact on our economy. Is Saudi Arabis our best friends and provides humane treatment of their people, no they are not, but there are US interests in keeping the flow of oil uninterrupted for our benefit.
And then sends Pence to give the A-Ok to Turkey, to clean out the Kurds from a region they have always called home, genocide..... 4 days from now.....
If something doesn't change....
the only thing that's crazy about me is my antichrist prophesy concerns!
but at least I know it!
