The $110 billion arms deal to Saudi Arabia is fake news

[KingOrfeo]

Bruce Riedel of the Brookings Institution:

I’ve spoken to contacts in the defense business and on the Hill, and all of them say the same thing: There is no $110 billion deal. Instead, there are a bunch of letters of interest or intent, but not contracts. Many are offers that the defense industry thinks the Saudis will be interested in someday. So far nothing has been notified to the Senate for review. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the arms sales wing of the Pentagon, calls them “intended sales.” None of the deals identified so far are new, all began in the Obama administration.

You won't hear a peep from Wingnut Nation, who were crowing obnoxiously about this the other day.

Even the WSJ is tired of his bullshitting:


“Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be justified if he resigned, and this is merely the latest incident in which Mr. Trump popping off undermined his own lawyers,” the WSJ writes. “If this pattern continues, Mr. Trump may find himself running an Administration with no one but his family and the Breitbart staff. People of talent and integrity won’t work for a boss who undermines them in public without thinking about the consequences.”

Lets sell arms and equipment to the world's biggest exporters of international terrorism. 2K jobs on the line here in my town.

It would be unfair not to sell to Trudeau's Muslim buddies...I mean, where would he vacation without them

Hey there, Adre.

Peep! Peep!

It appears Trump had to "close the deal" because Obama couldn't

 

[phrodeau]

It appears Trump had to support international terrorism, because Obama couldn't.

It also appears that Trump has undone more deals than he's made.

.

It must have been a different Obama who gave the biggest state sponsor of terrorism $400B in cash.

I can see how you'd be so easily confused.

No deal has been closed.

They were bad deals for the US

The Aga Khan is Shia. Doubt he is very welcome in Saudi Arabia. But the Nizari Ismaili are the original Assassins. Never know could come in handy if legend is true.

Obama gave Iran nothing, he unfroze their assets in American banks, it was their own money, and a good quid-pro-quo that was for the nuclear deal.

No deal Obama made was bad for the U.S.

Yet somehow they're not in the travel ban list....

They say the president is above 'conflict of interest' in business dealings, but you have got to be kidding.

 

[lovecraft68]

So is the 100 million dollar donation to Ivanka fake news? The 250+ million of Saudi money into Trump hotels fake?

Nope.

But apparently his attacking Hillary about how she takes Saudi money despite how bad they are and how they treat their women is.

Iran is Shia Islam. All the terror attacks in Europe, the Middle East and America are committed by Sunni Islamists. Given a choice between shooting a Christian, a Jew or a Shia a Daesh or Al-Qaeda terrorist will shoot the Shia Muslim.

Iran is quite repressive and not an overly pleasant place to live but is still freer than Saudi Arabia. And Iran does not export it's hardline stuff like the Saudi Wahhabis do. They do support Assad in Syria but IMO that is just to be a thorn in the side of Sunni Arabia and Israel.

You really should do some reading. Your knowledge is truly pathetic. Sun Tzu says 'Know your enemy".

James believes everything Trump says. (Dim bulb.)

And if Obama had closed that deal? He would have been called a muslim and a terrorist by all you morons, but Trump does it, its fine. Its okay to support terrorism as long as you support taking away rights from anyone not white straight male and christian.

This from the Prince of Stupid. As usual you have no idea what in the hell you're talking about.

We froze it because of their violations. What do you think they're going to do with that money?

 

[KingOrfeo]

LMAO!!

Be more specific. What did he say that is false?

 

[water505]

Of COURSE!!



I watched a documentary last night filmed from inside North Korea. You're as brainwashed as they are, but at least they have an excuse.

 

[about_average]

Including Trump, who at the time said there should be no deal with Saudi Arabia

A different Obama, yes. The one in your dreams.

Holy fuck shitforbrains, you make BB look smart. Read a fucking book moron at least once in your life just for the new found experience.

Go right ahead hold the fucking Saudi's hands as another fucking dozen of them fly airliners into some US symbol.

If your complete lack of knowledge is any fucking example its no wonder that a percentage of Yanks support Trump and fully stand by selling arms to the Saudis.

Here read these right wing and conservative news and blogs. They are not MSM or lefty sites.
