President Donald Trump publicly thanked Saudi Arabia for plunging oil prices

Again....why not deal with Iran in the same business sense. Same as we do the Saudis. None are our friends...even the Israelis. It is all business. Originally Posted by WTF

He's counting on President Trump to do the right thing. Little Tommy's counting on him too.

This shows your utter lack of understanding of the uranium deal. Russia can do nothing with our uranium without that going through a multiple of agencies. Which will never happen. Originally Posted by WTF

Uranium One deal led to some exports to Europe, memos show

The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so engrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post’s official fact-checker site this week. “We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have,” the Post reported on Monday, linking to the 2011 Barrasso letter.

Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium — the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons — from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.

Uranium One's American arm ... confirmed it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia ....

"It now appears that despite pledges to the contrary, U.S. uranium made its way overseas as a part of the Uranium One deal," Grassley said in the statement. "What’s more disturbing, those transactions were apparently made possible by various Obama Administration agencies while the Democrat-controlled Congress turned a blind eye.

So, let's thank the Saudis for low gas prices and their help against Iran.

While you're thanking the Saudis, don't forget to thank them g or all those 9/11 attackers they sent us.

Khashoggi was a propagandist for militant Islam. You can continue to venerate the "New Goebbels" of the Third World if you so desire, but I won't shed a tear for bin Laden's buddies when they are all gone. But I will enjoy the lower gas prices afforded by the Saudis.

Yeah, that's how it works. People like Khashoggi pump up people like bin Laden and the 19 terrorists who killed thousands on 9-11. You keep buttering their toast, if you so wish, but I'll break open a bottle of good whisky to celebrate their demise if and when that day ever comes and I'll drink a toast to lower gas prices and the Saudis later today.

BTW, you do not know what it means to be "for" or "against" something until you've served on the DMZ in Korea or Fulda Gap in Germany during the Cold War.

People like me dared to put on a uniform and pick up a rifle to help bring an end to the Soviet Empire in the name of the United States of America: that's "nationalism".

Oh, you quite misunderstood. I never suggested I was a war hero, but I would argue that anyone who dared to put on this country's uniform and pick up a rifle to defend this country's interests on the DMZ in Korea against North Korea and in the Fulda Gap in Germany against the Soviet Union has demonstrated through personal actions the wholesale falsity of your non-substantive accusations. The fact that you didn't stand against Korea or the Russians and that you completely bought into Putin's propaganda since 2016 would indicate that it would be you who unwaveringly supports Russia and Korea.

Meanwhile, in regards to Saudi Arabia, I'll follow FDR's much venerated approach to foreign policy: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." That coupled with a profound sense of national pride: "nationalism", is how we prevailed during WWII.

Keep telling yourself that IB. Maybe you believe that. You are entitled to your opinion. I participated in the illegal war in Nicaragua. I too had a rifle. I certainly didn't feel like some great defender of American Nationalism. Remember that was President Reagans private war. He forgot to ask for permission. You have every right to support the Autocratic Saudi government and the autocrat Mr. Putin. Enjoy it while you can because the winds of change are a blowing. The beautiful thing about America is that even your daily desecration of American values including not honoring the constitution is a right I would die for. You can believe anything you want. Ill be back. I'm going to go burn a Saudi flag, don't get upset IB, you "defended " that right for me while you were fighting some "imaginary" war. Thank you for your "service?"

What Soviet souvenirs (no flags, btw) I have, I acquired from battlefields in Afghanistan.

You would have had to have been there to appreciate the experience, and your being there would have been a sign of your loyalty to this country that is absent in your posts. But, alas, you have given no such signal in either your words or your actions, and you continue to repeat Putin's propaganda that was sowed in 2016.
