I apologize for vanity inch, but this is an important question. The GOP just voted to sell lots of weapons to Saudis, but they can never stop talking about how evil the post-communist Russians are. What gives?
$$$$$$
The Russians buy very, very few weapons from us.
The Saudis pay bigger bonuses for political favors. :)
It’s a smoke screen. Be it (R) or (D) they both love everyone else but America and her Citizens.
Any common RINO dirtbag is the same as a CPUSA-endorsed Dem slimeball so it’s safe to say they love both countries for how the Elite run everything while the slaves have no say whatsoever.
It’s a D and an R thing. Drain that swamp and never forget that no one in DC is like Trump - so they all need to go.
Turkey and Iran are lining up to take out Saudi Arabia.
Russia ain’t got no damn money.
Their economy is a kleptocracy that has no real value.
The Saudis have hard petro dollars. Not as much as they used to since oil will probably stay at relatively low prices for decades at least. But plenty.
Good question. A better one is... why does Jimmah Cahtah and his “Center” in Atlanta get a major amount of support from the Saudis. Carter supports Hamas, and hates Israel.
Yet the Saudis and Mossad just blew the hell out a Yemeni terrorist mountain cave complex. Video on youtube is astoundingly long series of massive explosions. Sauds and Mossad work together— against Iran also.
Remember Jimmah was and still is Pro-Iran, just like obamaumao, and all liberals dems. Cause Iran/Russia and commie Frenchies and French oil concerns taken over by Iran, still have lots of bizness together.
Only four possible motives - money, power, sex and drugs, and we know the impotent pubies are not interested in power.
The relationship dates back to the 80s - the US leveraged Saudi to keep oil prices low which destroyed the USSR’s ability to import or subsidize its satellites.
Copulation stupid comes to mind.
That would be telling.
Why does the prostitute love the millionaire who showers her with furs and not the working stiff that can’t afford her affection?
“The relationship dates back to the 80s - the US leveraged Saudi to keep oil prices low which destroyed the USSRs ability to import or subsidize its satellites.”
You win the Geopolitical Economist of the Day Award.
>Why does the prostitute love the millionaire who showers her with furs and not the working stiff that cant afford her affection?
Tough call. Without a clear definition of “Prostitute”, one can imagine those that want money to spend with little effort to get it, the other likes a good “working stiff.”
Follow The Money.....
Because 15 of the 911 19 were Russian.
Defense Industry spends a crap-ton of money lobbying congress to sell their products to the Saudi’s, and others (Israel, playing both sides of that fence). It’s one reason why the likes of Juan “The Songbird” McCain and his she-crush Linda Grahamnesty never saw a country they didn’t want to invade. As long as their campaign warchests are full they’ll keep chanting “boots on the ground” and pursuing a Whack-a-mole foreign policy in the middle east, and calling the rest of us stupid for not understand the situation. And the planes will keep coming back with flag-draped coffins of our young men and women.
The Saudis provide plenty of money, the Russians don’t.
