What does the United States receive from the Saudi Arabians in return for sending American soldiers into harm’s way to protect them?
WE’RE not at war with the Iranians, the Saudi Arabians are, and they have all the missiles and drones necessary to retaliate against their Iranian enemies by destroying Iranian oil facilities, just as Iran did to theirs, and knocking out 50% of their oil production.
Are we sending our soldiers in exchange for Saudi money? The United States does not use its soldiers as mercenaries to protect other countries in exchange for money!
Do we need the Saudis to supply us with oil as they have in the past? No. The U.S. has become self-sufficient in oil production.
Why our president suddenly wants to become Donald of Arabia and help the House of Saud maintain its power, even at the expense of American soldiers’ lives, is beyond my understanding.
“WE’RE not at war with the Iranians”
The rant that included that statement is some of the dumbest sh!t I’ve ever read on FR.
We have been at war with them for 40 years.
And the US has ENORMOUS strategic interest in ensuring the free flow of oil out of the Gulf, something the Iranians are currently putting at risk.
Our interests far transcend the Saudis.
Nor wonder you’re new here. You would not have lasted.
*** Are we sending our soldiers in exchange for Saudi money? ***
Saudi Arabia is the 100% owner of the World’s largest oil refinery located in Port Arthur, Texas.
Every one had a cow at Tulsi Gabbard’s statement that America should not be Saudi Arabia’s bitch and send our servicemen into fight Saudi Wars.
Well, if KSA shut down that refinery, and shut down access to all the water rights they’ve bought up in the Western US we would feel that, so, yes, we will expend American lives and dance to the Piper of the KSA.
My opinion which someone will disagree with.
Excellent post which I am sharing with my friends
