The Art of Saudi Dementia

[Lewie London]

Oh bravo, Donald John. Absolute masterstroke, mate. Nothing says ‘world peace’ quite like flogging $142 billion worth of top-shelf death machines to a bloke who treats dissent like it’s a piñata party. MBS must’ve thought Christmas came early when Trump showed up: jets, bombs, drones, the works. All gift-wrapped in American exceptionalism and dipped in KFC mashed potato gravy. And they still call it a “strategic partnership.” Yeah, strategic in the same way giving a toddler a flamethrower is “educational.”

 

Let’s not forget who we’re dealing with here. Saudi Arabia. The country with a human rights record that makes North Korea look like a mindfulness retreat. These are the lads who drop airstrikes on school buses and weddings in Yemen like they’re playing Call of Duty on cocaine. And now we’ve decided they need more gear? Brilliant. What could possibly go wrong?

 

So now he’s singlehandedly solved the Middle East with a few tanks and a dodgy handshake from MBS, that’s Mohammed bin “saw a journalist in half” Salman, for the uninitiated. Then they rolled out the lavender carpet for him. Not red, mind you. Lavender. Real subtle, innit. Looked like Liberace had spewed royalty all over the runway. And Trump’s there lapping it up like an oversized Pomeranian in a tiara. Then he waddles into Riyadh like he’s Gandalf the Peacebringer, arms outstretched. Mate, they weren’t welcoming a statesman. They were measuring him up for a gold-plated yes-man trophy. All that pomp, all that fanfare, and for what? So Raytheon and Lockheed can cash in like it’s Black Friday in hell.

 

This ain’t about strategy. This is about sales. Corporate Christmas. They’re not solving conflicts. They’re investing in them. Bombs now, reconstruction later. A full-service business model. Meanwhile, Donnie’s grinning like a lunatic, signing away weapons like he’s doing a two-for-one on nukes at Aldi.

 

And what’s the endgame here? Strengthen our allies? Please. We’ve been down this road. Gave Saddam the tools. Next thing he’s gassing villages. Armed the Mujahideen. Next thing they’re flying planes into buildings. But no, this time it’ll be different. This time we’re arming responsibly. Like giving a chainsaw to a fox and saying, “Now don’t go mad with it.”

 

You’d think someone might raise an eyebrow. But nah. Trump's base is too busy wetting themselves over “America First” while their tax dollars are funding the arms race version of a garage sale in the Middle East. No schools, no healthcare, but don’t worry lads, Saudi’s got guided missiles coming out their ears.

 

Honestly mate, if irony were a weapon, Trump’d have already started World War Three.

You’ll find this informative and educational.

Not surprising considering how morally bent Trump is. He loves very wealthy dictators and despots.

Thank you.

I guess I can feel you're a kind of angry?

Well, the world's most famous and historically best deal maker got his flying gift and the Saudis in return their desired weapons.

Why not the Saudis? At the same time Bibi gets what he needs to crush the last people in Gaza and Zelensky gets some toys for his lost war. 

So Donnie makes the world a happier place. In his twisted brain.😳

  Slight correction - that should be written as KFC "mashed potato" gravy.

[Will B Good]

In case you CBA to read all that.....

 

 

 

The Trump–Saudi arms deal was reckless, hypocritical, and profit-driven.

It empowered a regime with a poor human rights record.

It criticises American foreign policy, corporate influence, and performative patriotism.

Ahhh, I love the smell of lame deflections in the morning!

[Hummin]

Saudi who more likely will team up with Russia, same goes for Turkey and many other countries who is on the edge with europe and Us.

 

Maybe Trump's master plan is to join them. Still far fetched, but not unlikely when it comes to Trump

So nice to see you and your cult have found a new whining point.

 

Even your cult was getting tired of January 6th, facist, racist and convicted felon.

To be fair, Trump makes it very easy to find things to be critical of.

 

[save the frogs]

These Trump threads are highly toxic.

 

I need a shrink now.

In the case of Biden/Harris, x50.

[mogandave]

Trump sells $142 billion in arms to the Saudi, and he’s the devil incarnate. 

 

Biden leaves $80 billion in arms for the terrorists when he surrenders our allies  in Afghanistan and he’s the greatest.

Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia raises the prospect of US nuclear cooperation with the kingdom

They’ll do all they can to stop him from negotiating drug prices down.

The United States has been arming Saudi Arabia for probably 50 years. 

 

As a leftist, you want to blame the country for the actions of a few of it’s citizens, bot only when it’s countries you don’t like.

 

You did not seem to care when Obama sold them F-35s.

Most western countries at some point over the last 20 years have done arms deals with Saudi. 

 

This is normal yet no one ever screams about it. Both left and right in Canada even...

1. How do you know what other posters cared/didn't care for years ago@

2. President Obama Didn't sell F-35s to Saudi Arabia. In fact, even Trump has not yet agreed to sell them.
