If our dollars were to stop flowing to UAE/Dubai today, their friendship would suddenly be looking elsewhere for security, and I'm sure you are smart enough to figure out where that is.

Yeah real smart, push them to the chicomms, all because of some ignorant knee jerk spasm of furriners having terminals in our ports(when 80% of the terminals are leased by furriners).

You really know how win and influence friends, don't you.

LOL!

Oh, the irony!

My point is that this ports deal represents maybe 1/100th of 1-percent of the business we do with Dubai/UAE, and we aren't about to stop that business. (because we both benefit)

But if that money were to stop, they are not beholden to the US because of any special love for our Christian-Judeo ethics, or our western ideals.

They love us because we flood them with enough money for them to be able to buy gold plated Boeing 767's, etc.
