Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir stressed the deep and strategic relations between the Kingdom and the United States and the shared mutual interests in several fields, particularly security, military, commercial, social, and educational fields. Al-Jubeir was speaking at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Riyadh, stressing that the bilateral meetings that were held within the framework of his visit to the Middle East, were positive, constructive, and fruitful.

The Saudi Foreign Minister said the meetings highlighted the two sides “identical viewpoints” regarding several issues and the desire to intensify mutual efforts to to “enhance Iran’s Nuclear Deal” and tackle the issues of the region.

“We look forward to working with the Secretary of State in the future for the interests of the two friendly countries,” said Al-Jubeir.

Regarding Iran, Minister Al-Jubeir noted: “We said in the past that the Kingdom supports the policy of President Donald Trump.

Nauseating.

Share identical views?! No, I don’t think so. Saudi Arabia is admitted financier of Islamic terrorists, including its 9/11 attackers. Not similar, not our ally. I will celebrate the day their government and the entire “royal” family is rounded up and executed.

” I will celebrate the day their government and the entire “royal” family is rounded up and executed.”

The reason our government has supported the Saudi royal family is that whatever comes after them will likely make what happened in Iran look like a southern church social. Saudi Arabia is, appearances aside, very fragile. When it falls that whole area will be in bloody anarchy. The effects will be felt worldwide.

Very sobering and very true.

And you are suggesting it is not now? At some point we need to take long view and align ourselves with good and against evil. Saudi Arabia might not be worst, but they are evil, not good.

The young prince is dragging SA into this century. He is in incredible danger for doing it, we need to support him, he has taken on the fanatics single handed. It’s facinating to watch and we should all pray he succeeds

That’s already the case. Saudi Arabia’s rulers being the good, and the country’s troglodyte population being the evil. While in theory we could nuke them till they glow, no president will. Not unless he wants to spend the rest of his life in prison and have his property confiscated as reparations. There are a billion other Muslims who think just like them. We’re not gonna kill them all.

My prediction is that he will be assassinated, the country’s troglodyte population will re-assert itself, and we’ll be faced with an al Qaeda-helmed Saudi Arabia that spends all of its oil revenues on jihad rather than social welfare programs. Think 9/11 was bad? We may eventually look on that as a minor attack - a curtain-raiser for much bigger events.

Got to start somewhere.

I pray that you are wrong. I mean that seriously, I really do pray you are wrong.

’ positive, constructive, and fruitful.’

So they cut a deal, in diplospeak.
Any idea of the specifics?

‘We believe that the Iranian problem must be dealt with by imposing further sanctions on Iran for violating international resolutions on ballistic missiles, supporting terrorism and for intervening in the affairs of the countries of the region.”
