"One can only wonder what it would take for us to go after our biggest enemy, Saudi Arabia. "
When I think of the US/Saudi relationship I am reminded of this:
"Lenin, who spent most of his life in the West and not in Russia, who knew the West much better than Russia, always wrote and said that the Western capitalists would do anything to strengthen the economy of the USSR. He said: They will bring us everything themselves, without thinking about their future. And, in a difficult moment, at a party meeting in Moscow, he said: 'Comrades, don't panic, when things get very though for us, we will give the bourgeoisie a rope, and the bourgeoisie will hang itself.' Then Karl Radek, who was a very resourceful wit,said: 'Vladimir Ilyich, but where are we going to get enough rope to hang the whole bourgeoisie?' Lenin effortlessly replied, They will sell it to us themselves.'
from a speech by Alexander Solzhenitsyn
They hate us and plot to kill us even as they conduct friendly business with us. Treachery of this sort is Islamic virtue.
It's not treachery when we know it's happening and continue to treat them as allies. It's criminal.
