@Rex you were very adamant about criticism of the saudis, and your friend biden said he wwould make them a pariah. bu now he is going for a friendly visit and having good relationship with them? wassup with that? why did he lie? trump on the other hand never lied about it. he never said he would make them a pariah or change our policy. and the media hated him for his honesty. biden lied about it, and continued the same policy of every other president, but the media rewarded him for lying and wont call him out for the EXACT SAME thing trump did, which is get along with saudi leadership.
the best thing we can do to stop having a relationship with the saudis is increase domestic energy production, the thing trump was obsessed with, and biden wants to destroy, saying he will end our fossil fuel production, which was a lie, but to the extent he does it is terribly destructive.
Oil demand is a simple calculation. A calculation the Dems never seem to look at. They want dirty oil that kills the planet. That’s what their policy tells me.
this thread continues to be fucking absurd as biden goes groveling the same folks he said he would make a "pariah" in the letter from carolyn maloney, she called out kushner for dealing with the saudis: "even as Congress and the rest of the world closely scrutinized the country’s human rights abuses in Yemen, the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi by Saudi assassins tied to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Saudi Arabia’s crackdown on political dissidents at home" and now biden is going to gladhand them. surely she will write another letter? @Rex what happened to your criticisms of the saudis? i thought you told us they were a terrible people nobody should do business with? isnt that why you started this thread? rex is a friendly visit how biden is following through on his promise to make them pay for their atrocities?
To me the journalist was the victim of his own stupidity and arrogance. He should be left out of any discussions.
@Rex form a committee, another politician is making deals with the saudis we need to get to the bottom of this. form a primetime investigation! we must find out why biden and MBS are colluding!
do you care bout anything else but scoring sick butns by calling people hypocrites why is biden begging for saudi oil when we have massive oil reserves here in the US? isnt this the same saudi that you dont want jared kushner to deal with? why do we want to buy from evil regimes when we have our own? does their oil not hurt the environment?
