    I don't know why you don't know your friends from your enemies.. Trump doesn't know anything about Saudi Arabia, Iran, the oil business or the Middle East either. He doesn't read and he doesn't do briefings.

    Why are you so focused on Trump? Our last 5 Presidents are FAR more into the Saudi pockets than Trump.

    As a woman who "claims" to have KSA ties, you should like Trump.

    Iran hates the US .. The Saudis are very pro American and are very stable... always have been. The difference is that Iran developed under the British model.. Arabia developed under the American model and the ARAMCO brass was determined to keep the US government from meddling... and they did.

    What a coincident, Barack Obama was only 6 years old when he moved to Indonesia to begin his indoctrination into Islam.

    Valerie Jarrett began her Marxist indoctrination when she was five.

    Barack Obama began his Muslim indoctrination when he was six.

    The Saudis will support EVERY US president.. That's their long term commitment. They have Trump's number.. They know he's dumb. They know he likes pomp and flattery, but they give the royal tour to all American VIPS... and they are friendly and hospitable.

    LOLOL.. Nice try. Obama went to a Catholic School and then to a co-ed International school founded by the Dutch. You don't know jack chit about Indonesia either.

    You are making the assumption that those American's care about being the hegemons of the world or even who is the current hegemon. There are much more important things. I say we focus more internally and strengthen our current alliances outside the ME. Colonize the moon, focus on research towards more efficient methods of energy production. China can do what it wants with the ruins. We should be looking up, not outward for gratification. We know how failure always follows in that regard.

    How is Trump "dumb" When KSA treats their people like absolute garbage? The US should cut ALL ties. If you think oil is the problem then you know nothing of Canada.

    Nothing wrong with living in your own country and being at peace -- although the tumultuous, chaotic situation in Britain right now is far from what I would think of as 'peaceful'. Among the drawbacks of living there today would be that you can no longer even be certain that you'll be left unmolested as you walk down a 'peaceful' street in London -- as the ghost of Lee Rigby could tell you.

    Thanks to endless, dictatorial cajoling by their masters at EU headquarters, Britain was forced to take in huge numbers of dangerous, repulsive Islamo-TRASH. Peaceful...? Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Lee_Rigby

    Here are the murderers who beheaded British Army soldier, Fusilier Lee Rigby on a 'peaceful' London street:

    Even more reason to end our alliance. It only serves to keep us involved all the other middle east nonsense.

    Yes, indeed. For centuries, Britain (a.k.a., England) was a great military and economic power. Their wealth and growth as a world leader was enormous. That was then... and now... they're just a little island full of confused, angry people, with no idea about what to do, or how to do it....

    The one (ONE) smart thing they've done since the end of WWII was to keep their own currency -- the British Pound Sterling. That's it... that's all. Everything else has been a ruinous, wearisome disappointment to its people.

    What's a bigger threat? Saudi or Iran? To a decaying CRATER like Britain has turned into, every other country (except maybe Togo) is a threat.... :lonely:

    My prediction: Scotland will leave the United Kingdom, in the aftermath of this "Brexit" cluster-f*ck. "Rule Britannia!"

    Better question. Why do we need to be allied with Saudi Arabia to have trade? How many of your states businesses ship from China.

    South Carolina has 250 business that have been doing business with KSA for over 20 years.. That's jobs and paychecks.

    40,000 Americans live and work in KSA.. Do you think they would stay .. some times 3 generation expats if it wasn't a good place?

    I've been there longer than probably 99% of people on this message board. I've been to a lot of areas in KSA that have religious police monitoring where I take pictures. Much like oppressed nations, KSA doesn't want the world to see the dark side (which is most of it).

    They are going to see this country go socialist because they have been convinced that is what would be best for them. Our education system is tuned to that and it is inevitable at this point.

    My generation's highest ambition was 'free love' but this one wants free everything. Our vision was far too narrow.

    Everyone takes pictures in Arabia. You just can't film the oil facilities. Big whoop. The Muttaween are just pests.

    That is not true. But you know that. You're just loyal to Prince(s).

    I like the speculative hint in the post, I have my own thoughts on where we are heading ito WW3, it is rather unusual but ties in with current climate. Very interesting topic all-together.



    Regarding the thread, Saudi Arabia itself is under threat from Iran... not sure they will have much time on their hands to threaten the US
