We are not the only ones questioning what the heck the Biden Administration is doing.

Rigged elections have dangerous consequences.

Yeah. The world thought they were rid of Trump and look what they got in return, a feeble, braindead, worthless, lying, criminal, cheat, worthless (oh, I said that didn’t I), idiot, 40% catastrophic approval rating that I read on the TV crawler on Newsmax this morning!!!

Any sensible non woke country needs to freeze relations with the evil Dementia Joe regime which is busy sucking up to the worst regimes on the planet like Iran and Venezuela.
Saudi Arabia is better off buying weapons from Russia and China.
They’d be less likely to get stabbed in the back when they get into a war with Iran.

The Saudi’s are not our friends. They are snakes that will turn on us if they have the chance.

But they are also useful allies with some common strategic interests, and sometimes we have to work with them.

Biden is a disaster, and the Saudis and Chinese are already in tandem. All of the great foreign policy work that Trump brought has been destroyed in one year.

Everything he is doing seems like grounds for impeachment. And oddly enough, I think Hunter Biden's laptop is the key.

You can substitute any nation where you have the word Saudi! Nations do not have friends! They might have shared interests if they do they might be allies for some time period. The shared interests change the need for being allies change and might roll over all the way into enemies.

Anthropomorphizing the relations beween nations blurs thinking!

Grounds yes, but never happen no matter what he does - even to deliberately starting a nuclear war - which seems to be the path 0bama set him on.

Saudi Editor is correct. How can Americans respect their culture when the leaders of the Country are low IQ?

--- " As a Saudi who went to college in the US, loves America and wants to see it strong, I am increasingly disturbed by the unreality of the American discussion about the subject, which often fails to acknowledge just how deep and serious the rift has grown," says Mohamed Alyahya.

Saudi Arabia is about 35 million (about the population of California), while Iran is about three times greater in population. For decades the Islamic game in the West has been quite like the European game. Sucker the "world policeman" for protection, and sucker the "dependent" petroleum users for sales. And expect that the game will continue.

A Saudi that "loves America" and still remains a Saudi doesn't "love America." If America stands (stood) for liberty, then the closed and cosseted Saudi Arabia is its antithesis. That the writer says he "loves America" and is published in the Jerusalem Post does not prove a thing. The millenua-lonf rift in Islam between Sunni and Shia puts Saudi Arabia (this government ninety years old) against other "recent" and very rich governments who want to keep their Shia nemesis under control using -- of course -- the US as their protectors.

So the Saudi says America is "dismantling the pillars of its own empire?" Really? The Saudis who ran OPEC and gouged America under Carter? What empire?

As with giant and yet feckless NATO pushing eastward to poke the Russian bear, Islam -- Sunni and Shia alike -- would happily continue to use the USA as policeman and patsy.

For a short time under Trump, America became an energy exporter, and the Democrats managed in short order to close that down.

--- "We are not the only ones questioning what the heck the Biden Administration is doing."

Indeed. But for decades under Democrats and RINOs, US energy Independence was promised but not delivered. Comes a disruptor like Trump and we see American energy independence for a short period of time. The Saudis and Russians and Chinese and "green" Europeans alike could did all they could to overturn, and install Biden. Think this is Biden alone? It is a world against America's liberty and independence. And still they all want our trade and protection in some manner.

Covid worked to help topple Trump and make China richer. The Russia-Ukraine conflict -- the Left in the Obama time would have called it a 'kinetic action' -- is making military manufacturers richer through reorders and more. Islam in the Middle East wants to sucker us one more time. See a pattern here?

Not so fast. He's a retard, yes, and has always been such. Politics attracts soft men and he's the softest.

But he's a puppet on somebody's string. No more and no less. Soros? O'Bummer? Xi? Doesn't matter. The effect is always the same.

The majority of the 9/11 terrorists were from what nation? Point: yeah, they already turned on us. But we had a traitor in the White House and they got away scot free.

Not sure why they are so concerned about the Shiite bomb being developed by Iran when they presumably have access to the Sunni bomb developed by Pakistan funded by Saudi Arabia.

Nations are the artificial creations of men and as such do not human attributes. They are amoral entities possessing neither emotions or moral sentiments but interests in safety and expansion.

America is ‘’failing the region’’? For 70 years we’ve been buying oil from these goat humping camel jockeys and spent blood and treasure and Americans lives protecting them from each other.

Screw the Saudis.
