That’s only a risk in their imaginations. Think of something. Foreign terror states like the Saudis and Gulf States have huge investments here. Buildings, banks, media, jets, ports, you name it.
If they are adjudicated guilty, we can take things they value and hurt them bad.
Conversely, if they hit us in a Saudi or Gulf state court, who cares? We own almost nothing there.
They cant damage us nearly as bad as we can them in terms of actually having things to seize available to us. All of the dire warning were because the GOPe and Dems were protecting their Saudi benefactors. How many GOPe types get lobbyist contracts? How many speeches did Bill Clinton give them for cash?
It wont hurt us at all.
This is horrific. See post 124.
I hear what you are saying. What about the argument that they will pull out their investments? Is that good or bad? Is that just a close out sale for US investors, or is there a downside to that?
