Sounds like a responsible approach, for any nation. Especially since the US started electing presidents like Carter, Clinton and Obama...
“They forgot to mention Israel.”
That may be part of President Trump’s strategy - drive the Saudis into alliance with Israel, against Iran.
The Mid East peace plan is supposed to be released soon, and it has long been the Saudis funding the opposition to Israel.
This might be some fortuitous leverage.
The coalition including U.S.,Israel, and the BCC has been effect for years
Saudi Arabia,Israel next
It may sound strange, but my “psychic sens” (???) has imagined that in time it will be China that goes in to “save” the Saudis; elbowing Russia out of a Middle East king maker role, as American isolationism wins the next election, no matter which party wins.
The calls will be for bringing all our foreign based troops home, saving billions out of the DOD budget, and trying to use those military savings instead of tax increases to pay for more domestic spending issues.
These are just imaginings, not rational or strategically thought out; and I certainly don’t have or think I have a crystal ball.
