Saudis are used to buying off Americans with their money - American leaders being a simple and corruptible lot - They have never had to deal with Russians and their corrupt corruptibility - by that I mean when you think you are buying off Russia - usually Russia is screwing you over - in a good way for them. There is a reason Russians outlasted the Mongols, French, Germans and Communists.

My question to my fellow posters - where was the stink eye when we sold F-15 and main battle tanks to the premier jihad state of murderers? I think the Saudis will soon realize that its cheaper to buy off a US Senator - American politicians have integrity when it comes to tacking bribes.

What is happening is our girlfriend Saudi is making googly eyes at Ivan in the hopes it makes Sam jealous. PS: When should you be worried? When OPEC goes Euro and the Saudi's withdraw their money from American financial institutions (I think they account for a quarter of our economy).

I ask the same question...where's the outrage when we sell them advanced weapons systems?

I'm still trying to figure out why we sold them AWACS two decades ago. I wouldn't trust that with anybody but the Brits or Israelis, and I'd hedge on the latter.

it would be easy to take over their oil fields if russia DIDN't interfere and we stopped worring about being so PC.(because of it's locations).we should strike a deal with the russians and chineese(because we have to) and split up the islamic world..period
