“AI for Saudis?
Very good. Musk is even planning a massive AI data center there.”

Very good, you say? Then why stop there? Maybe we should hand our AI tech to Venezuela and North Korea too, just to complete the set.
We’re about to turbocharge the Middle East’s second most Islamist state after Iran. We already built China’s economy from scratch, and now we’re scrambling with tariffs because they’re outpacing us. They corner us with rare earths, and we cave every time.

And now we’re repeating the same mistake. We’re helping Saudi Arabia rise the same way we helped China, right up until the moment they turn against us. Sure, we’ll get some short-term returns, but long-term we’ll be on the losing end again.

Trump once said China was ‘raping America.’ At this rate, Saudi Arabia will have the tools to do the same.

There is one silver lining, though: this pro-Saudi strategy is crushing Russia’s oil revenues. Prices dropped to around $36 a barrel, and it’s tearing through Russia’s economy like a nuke! That level is completely unsustainable for Moscow.

I guess that Trump really wants Russia on its knees. I can agree with that logic.

Get Venezuela to invest a cool Trillion dollars in America like Saudi Arabia has, then we'll talk.
Oh wait, Venezuela is totally broke and is busy exporting vast amounts of illegal drugs to America to kill America's children, with full support from Maduro.
Last I looked Venezuelans were busy eating from trash bags...that is until Biden started importing them to America.

Actually, Saudi Arabia has been a stronger and more consistent ally to America than most EU members.
The EU has essentially bled America dry on trade for 80 years, even as America spent hundreds of billions of dollars to defend the EU since WW II in NATO>
China?
They are extremely hard working and innovative, that's how they managed to come round to making more cars than the US and EU combined from making very few cars to start off with.
And currently dominate smart phones, HDTVs, and most electronics,
Not to mention having rovers on the moon and Mars and having their own space station,
Europe is yet to land a rover on Mars.
