A group of Democratic lawmakers wants the U.S. military out of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates following an announcement from OPEC that it would cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day.
...this week introduced the “Strained Partnership Act” that mandated the removal of all U.S. troops from both countries along with missile defenses such as the Patriot and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system (THAAD).
“Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s drastic cut in oil production, despite President Biden’s overtures to both countries in recent months, is a hostile act against the United States and a clear signal that they have chosen to side with Russia in its war against Ukraine,”
Saudis have to go under the bus for defying Chancellor Cadaver. The ‘sovereignty’ of Yemen will suddenly inundate the compliant press. So predictable.
I think I may have come up with a way to verify stories such as this. Episodic television
All that is needed is to find the nationality of the villians in the TV show in that time period. Hollywood or British in 1997-2000. If all of a sudden there are a lot of Serbian bad guys, I guarantee the story is accurate.
Same old, same old. The big powers try to keep the locals pissed off at each other so they can be played forever. This would have kept the balkans on a low simmer (occasionally overboiling when needed) for the next generation.
Hungary wisely avoided that trap.
For once, Thatcher was wrong. British soldiers would certainly have died if NATO had invaded Serbia though.
On the other hand, it might have stopped James Blunt releasing all that sh*t music before it happened....
