Blow the “holy places” off the face of the Earth. Seize the oil.
Cut off their alfalfa from Vicksburg, ,AZ. HOW LONG WILL THEIR COWS LAST?
Oh, that’s a good one.
They are selling assets anyway because of the oil price dip. This is an empty threat. Someone else will buy what they sell.
0buttbongo will again check the Fraudi’s circumcision..
“The Saudis may need the cash, with the oil glut and selling at less than $40 a barrel.”
President Trump should open federal lands to E&P and clear the decks for fracking. Then cut off purchases of oil from the Ragheads, all of them! Maybe they will find it “constipating” to drink their own oil while they go under financially!
Most of the gold in Fort Knox turned out to be gold “plated” Tungsten bars. Someone noticed that the density of gold and Tungsten are nearly identical. So a switch was made in WWII. The only real gold was that in the NY Federal Reserve Bank vault.
“Probably a few visits from the exterminator, refinishing the furniture and removing the rubbish and it will be fine”
Not to mention an exorcism to flush out the demons after Moochie’s mom practicing Santeria in the WH while living there.
They’re gonna sell off their US-based mosques?
Good grief. Everybody’s threatening to financially ruin everybody this week.

No need for heated rhetoric. Why the angry backlash here? We gave them dollars for oil. The had to buy stuff with those dollars and now they wish to sell the stuff at losses? Cannot understand why anyone in the country cares.
Sounds like the Saudis expect some legal action over their #1 export, wahabbism.
LOL !
Only one country in the entire world has been able to actually harm the US.
Economically in the 70s, with it’s leadership in OPEC and physically in 2001.
Dismissing this or chuckling at it would be a mistake.
Whatever Saudi Arabia does to the US, bet that those “in charge” will help it accomplish that exact goal.
