I’m guessing this is why it’s an issue for you and zerohedge
@earl-of-trumps saidKashoggi is all good now ehh?
China is wooing SA and washington is not taking it lightly.
SA has been a bit distant and cold towards the US lately.
@metal-brain saidIt is my belief that a Saudi/USA military pact led to American troops defending Mecca from the Arab Iraqi army in the Gulf War inspired Al Quaeda and 9/11. The fanatic Sunni terrorist types get extremely upset over such things.

The Saudis have been relying on Americans for defense for decades. It is a touchy subject for sure. I think it's a good idea if done properly but an easy situation to screw up.

@mott-the-hoople saidNo but neither should Russia or China. A workable equilibrium between China and the US would be best for the world at large. Russia is just a spoiler state with nothing singling it out as a world power other than its nuclear arsenal, it has a comparatively tiny economy and mainly backward population and society. It shouldn’t really be mentioned in the same breath as the big two

@Mott-The-Hoople
Hamas ended that deal. Perhaps that was Hamas' main goal.
The timing is suspect. It worked too. Now SA will not touch it with a ten foot pole.

You don't have one tenth the brain power of Suzianne and you call HER stupid.
@mott-the-hoople saidYeah because that would allow them to rule the world 🙄
so the US should rule the world?
