Saudi Threatens 'Dire Implications' Over U.S. Law Allowing 9/11 Victims to Sue
Breitbart.com ^ | 9/29/2016

Saudi Arabia could reduce valuable security and intelligence cooperation with longstanding ally Washington after a Congressional “stab in the back” allowing 9/11 victims to sue the kingdom, experts warn.

Cutting such cooperation is among the options available to Riyadh after Congress voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to override President Barack Obama’s veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act (JASTA).

“I’m afraid that this bill will have dire strategic implications” for the United States, Salman al-Ansari, the president of the Saudi American Public Relation Affairs Committee (SAPRAC), told AFP.

Good luck with that. The way things are going they will be lucky to get 25 cents on the dollar.

As Deutsche Bank implodes, the Euro and USD will as well. Germany down the toilet. NATO will fall for lack of finances. Saudi can sell our bonds, but even at full value they may be toilet paper soon. The bankers, politicians and socialists have spent us into an unrecoverable hole. Watch for a short term USD and stock market rally as europeans move money into the USD and US stock market to attempt to escape the DB failure. Scoop up whatever value you can find on that rally.

I have to tell ya, one of my joys in life over the past few years is reading the business doom and gloom web sites. But now that a lot of what they have been predicting is starting to appear, I admit to having a little knot in my stomach.

DB going down could be very, very bad. And not just for the stock market.

I have three months worth of living expenses stashed away under the mattress. I am not sure thats going to be enough.

U.S. invasion of your country and seizing all of your assets and creating a forward base within the Middle East.

We would have done that anyway had we not had a potus that was in the House of Saud's pocket.

ZH is reporting DB is experiencing a run right now. Stock down to 10.30. Expect single digits by morning.

That’s all well and good, however, if hitlery becomes president, she will stop all fracking and most drilling. That may be how she will pay back the Saudis for the 25 million $ contribution to her Foundation?

An Oil Embargo?? Dump US Bonds?

A seizure of all U.S.-based Saudi-owned assets -- financial, real estate, corporate and commodity -- would be worth tens of billions of dollars.
