Question, will the Saudis allow the Sunni’s from Yemen into their country as they attempt to escape certain death at the hands of the Shiites?


Could be wrong, but I think the young blood taking over Saud is less inclined to tolerate and continue the payback they’ve earned from spreading Islam via Madrassas everywhere.

Building a wall is what nations do when they are serious about repelling invaders.

Exactly right, I agree.

Obama is muslim at heart, if not in actuality. He seems to curry favor with his strange bows. Here are other instances;

Abdullah was Pro-America and actually fought against extremists. He was one of the good guys.

There are no Muslim good guys - that is my personal, prejudiced point of view. Abdullah used America when it benefited him. Abdullah presided over a kingdom that had no notion of civil rights. He presided over a kingdom that still practices slavery. Abdullah presided over a nation that practices female genital mutilation, stoning of adulterers, and persecution of Christians. Yeah, he was a good guy. (heavy dose of sarcasm)

As a member of OPEC, an illegal cartel under American and most western governments' law, oil prices have been manipulated time and time again, to his benefit and to the determent of Americans. While the latest unilateral price manipulation of oil, punishes Iran and Russia and temporarily helps American consumers, it hurts the shale oil/gas businesses of America.

Understand one thing about Muslims: they are taught, instructed and practice deception against the infidels. It is part of their religion. It is in their so-called holy book. You cannot trust a Muslim. You can not trust a Muslim nation. Once that is understood there is only one conclusion. That is you can not ever enter into any agreement or treaty with a Muslim or Muslim nation.

Abdullah fought against extremists when it benefited him. Meanwhile, Abdullah was an extremist. Is one Muslim extremist better than another Muslim extremist? I suppose when he is our extremist. The problem here is that American foreign policy went wrong when we started to consider extremists friends. We can have a foreign policy where we allow one extremist to be pitted against extremist, but we should never consider them friends.

May Abdullah and all Muslims burn in hell.

Here again...the son sits equal to the one who will assume Salman's Kingship if his health fails.......Seating matters in all events on the Interantional and national stage of all nations....summit meetings of the 34 states of the Gulf Cooperation Council....I think his son overseas the oil in Saudi, at least part with those who do.

Not on my care list. In fact — never heard of him. The Saudis nurtured the al queda . They all go to hell because the don’t accept the reality that Jesus is the Son of God!!

To me, the next-in-line behind Salman seems feeble... inbred mental retardation.. common among those who marry 1st cousins as a social custom.

...” While the latest unilateral price manipulation of oil, punishes Iran and Russia and temporarily helps American consumers, it hurts the shale oil/gas businesses of America”....

Saud’s have been afraid for some time when the push to get off dependency on Saudi oil began...but it was talk for a very long time....then when the fracking started they knew it was more than talk....they began acting by lowering prices.

‘Then’ the Ukraine issue opened wide.....this entire thing has been definately played on a stage we don’t get much info about because it’s a Global Game for Position and Power....we generally see the moves after the fact because they will always have “propaganda” ready to go before they make their moves in order to appease the public.

So now the Saud’s have been squirming to maintain their control....all year long Salman has met with World Leaders....and not just those of the G-20....

Oh, and BTW, in Saud the worst insult is to show a man the sole of your shoe, which is why in all seated photos all men have their feet planted on the ground.

Hurling one’s shoe at a speaker is also the highest of insults.

WAs interesting going through Salman’s twitter page......loads of photos of him meeing dignitaries Worldwide...so he’s been certainly in charge for a long while now. That’s to his advantage because the leaders already know him.

Sauds are big on continuity of their Kingdom and the “Saud” contol of the Kingdom....without the oil the most they’d hope for is tourists, and they can’t do that with the Isamic Law. So they’ve been spending money for years sending their smartest to educate them abroad...they know they lack minds that are “clear enough” to handle both their homeland and the World trade etc.

Yes....generally our Aministration has people who prepare our visitors regaarding other countries protocol and rituals.....Obama and Miche;e too often were insulting.

Those two are so far out of their element....can you believe just two days out from his SOTU he’s “interviewed” by some underling who took a bath in ceral and posted her video so he gave her an interview....

He has no regard for anything in this country...nor the office he holds.

I just wish he’d walk away....

I think 3 of 4 wheels have come off zero.. it’s evident everywhere, globally. Have no idea what he was talking about saying ‘we’ve turned the tide/corner’, when the tide has obviously been finally turned against HIM.

Swiss are having some problems lately.. should Saud decide to keep oil pegged to the USD....

That’s because Russia started dumping US dollars. Few billion already....that’s not chicken feed and why suddenly the EU sees what Putin tried to tell them from the get go.

Meanwhile Ukraine’s an absolute loss......Poroshenko was at Summit begging for more money so it can go back into the Oligarchs pockets and we know that ultimately means the Western Companies....but Poroshenko had to leave summit early...the Nazi’s are really raising cain in Kiev of late and there’s talk of Martial Law it’s become so bad.

Yats and the right sector want a war between the Us and Russia and trying to create the enviorment of unrest and esculating war in order to get revenue flowing again into Ukraine from the EU and US. Yats is hand in glove with the Right Secotr and the rougue militias in the EAst.
