Just wondering what everyone thinks of the situation with Saudi Arabia.

President Trump clearly admires Kings and other dictators. Trump is dangerous.
I can't think of a recent president who praised the killing of a journalist. Saudi Arabia is the most dictatorial regime in the world.
Ummmmmmmmm. Did you answer the poll?

other : announce a thirty year public / private moonshot with the goal of completely replacing oil as a transportation fuel.
I left grade school a long time ago. Not interested in quizzes.
Or use the moment to pressure them to embrace more Democratic principles or end their war in Yemen.
The notion that we can only choose between breaking off all relations or giving them permission to murder journalists is nonsense.
It's not a quiz. It's a poll asking your opinion. You are using it as a platform to attack Trump but you aren't man enough to even answer the poll saying what you think we should do with Saudi Arabia. If you attack Trump for this then you need to man up and vote for "Stick to our values/tell them to shove it". If you can't do that then you are agreeing with how Trump is handling it.
okay. After about third grade I learned how to write in complete sentences. Later, I learned how to establish a thesis and argue for my position. You should try it.
What is your opinion? What is your thesis? What should we do with Saudi Arabia? All you've done is attack Trump for what he is doing without offering any thesis for what you would do.

Other than trying to embarrass our president,how did this become such a huge event? The irony of course is the event happened in a country and with a leader who has killed and imprisoned many of his own citizens.
Should have been obvious. Trump SHOULD NOT have praised the Prince of Saudi Arabia. Trump SHOULD NOT have said the CIA was only expressing its feelings. Trump SHOULD NOT have said making a few buck for his weapons merchants justifies MURDERING A CRITIC OF THE SAUDI REGIME.

Greetings, Moderate Right. :2wave:
IIRC, Kissinger's deal with Saudi Arabia in the 1970s was a fantastic "bonus" for our country, since any country on this planet that wanted to buy Saudi oil had to convert their currency to US dollars, which began the "petro-dollar" terminology, thus benefitting both us and the Saudis. I don't recall what happened fairly recently to stop that agreement, and who in the US was responsible, but America lost a very lucrative monetary benefit when it did!
If you are referring to the murder of Khashoggi, I don't have an opinion who might be responsible, but life over there does seem to be a lot more "chancy" than I would be comfortable with!
