Anon digs on the WaPo/Saudi story as a potential buildup to FF.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The WaPo Journalist “story” is a FF to attack MbS and POTUS

FOLLOW MY LOGIC ON THIS NARRATIVE BUILDING, I’VE THOUGHT THIS FOR A DAY OR TWO NOW, JUST SHOWING THE SAUCES THAT TRACK THE NARRATIVE:

The transfer was widely seen as a counterbalance against the influence of Iran in the region and a “significant” and “historic” expansion of United States relations with Saudi Arabia.

Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia Sign Agreements in Move to Counterbalance Iran

https://www.wsj.com/articles/president-donald-trump-arrives-in-saudi-arabia-as-overseas-trip-starts-1495263979

The arms package represents an enhancement of Saudi Arabia’s military capabilities as tensions flare in the region, with the U.S. viewing the Saudis as a linchpin in efforts to check the global ambitions of Iran. The country, the hub of Islam’s most revered sites, but is also a target of radical Islamic extremism.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/20/us-saudi-arabia-seal-weapons-deal-worth-nearly-110-billion-as-trump-begins-visit.html

The White House said this package of defence equipment and services supports the long-term security of Saudi Arabia in the face of Iranian threats.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-latest-saudi-arabia-billions-arms-deal-military-sales-a7746601.html

The $110 billion deal places the US squarely on Saudi Arabia’s side in its rivalry with Iran, and is likely to further embolden the Saudis in their devastating war in Yemen, analysts say.

Both he and Tillerson made clear the arms deal was aimed at countering Iran on a day that Hassan Rouhani was re-elected as Iran’s president.

Trump, Saudi Arabia sign $110 billion arms deal ‘to counter Iran’

https://www.france24.com/en/20170520-trump-saudi-arabia-sign-110-billion-arms-deal-counter-iran

Among those that the U.S.-Saudi military sales agreement is meant to send a signal to: Iran

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/trump-s-first-foreign-trip/u-s-saudi-arabia-sign-110b-arms-deal-plus-another-n762546

“The large-scale US arms supplies to Saudi Arabia in May 2017 made it perfectly clear that the sanctions against Iran were coming back and the nuclear deal was dead,” Sharoj Habibi claimed in an interview with Sputnik Mundo.

https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201806141065411103-saudi-us-arms-deal/

Over the weekend, President Trump inked an arms deal with Saudi Arabia worth $110 billion — the largest single arms sale in United States history. Trump’s rationale is that arming Saudi Arabia will help in the fight against terrorism and help contain Iran’s negative influence in the Middle East

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/is-trumps-saudi-arms-deal-the-worst-arms-deal-ever

THEN, THIS FF HAPPENS, WHERE A NARRATIVE DEVELOPS FROM THE MSM WITHOUT SAUCE THAT A WaPo (C_A FUNDED) JOURNALIST WAS 187’D BY SA (AND THEY BLAME MbS, WHO IS /ourguy/ FROM DOING THE PURGE OF WONDERLAND

and we know Iran is still cabal controlled, the turks are now semi-allied with them, and the DEEP STATE AND CABAL IS STILL WORKING WITH THEM (latest example is Kerry)

NOW WE GET THIS NARRATIVE DEVELOPING:

If lawmakers slap sanctions on Saudi Arabia, these deals could be affected

President Donald Trump says he doesn’t want a $110 billion arms deal he brokered with Saudi Arabia to unravel over allegations the Gulf kingdom murdered a journalist at its consulate in Turkey.
