The Saudis have made it clear they will vigorously oppose any revival of the Iran nuclear deal and have openly hinted they could launch their own nuclear weapons program to counter Iran’s.

The Biden administration has announced that it is “recalibrating” its relationship with Saudi Arabia to include cutting off arms sales, rehabilitating the Houthis in neighboring Yemen, and intentionally snubbing Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, widely known by his initials, MBS.

Democrats in Congress and the media have long made a cause célèbre of the Saudi Crown Prince. They despise his ruthless crackdown on corruption, because he has centralized the money-font in his own hands. They fear his hostility toward Iran, his friendliness toward Israel, and do not comprehend his seemingly progressive views toward women and Islam.

But what really irks them the most was his close relationship to President Trump. For that alone, in the eyes of the Biden administration, he deserves to be punished.

So it was that the new Director of National Intelligence, Avril Raines, took the unusual step recently of declassifying a three-page intelligence community assessment that the Crown Prince “approved” the gruesome murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident who had become the darling of Washington Post journalists and lobbyists for Saudi rival, Qatar.

There is something in that title that makes my skin crawl.

This sucking up to Iran puzzles me, unless I keep in mind the kind of people pushing it. Then it makes a little sense.

I won’t say it’s surprising, but it is amazing how the current administration is stabbing all of our friends in the back and providing aid and comfort to our enemies.

Biden isn’t capable of blowing anything, including his own nose. The fraudulently and illegally installed Commie ‘RAT sock puppet is controlled by Susan Rice, who in turn reports to Obama -> Valerie Jarrett -> George Soros -> CCP & Iran.

The establishment needs a war. They are trying on a couple of fronts.
