Bruce Reidel, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has written an article describing President Donald Trump’s recent claim to have sold $110 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia as “fake news.”
“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,” Reidel writes. “Instead, there are a bunch of letters of interest or intent, but not contracts.”

Reidel explained that none of the offers have been sent to the Senate for review — and all of the deals in question began during President Barack Obama’s administration. After reviewing specific examples of non-sales (such as four frigates, the THAAD air defense system and 150 Black Hawk helicopters), Reidel noted that “what the Saudis and the administrationdidis put together a notional package of the Saudi wish list of possible deals and portray that as a deal.”
He added, “Even then the numbers don’t add up. It’s fake news.”
Reidel concluded by observing that the drop in oil prices and Saudi Arabia’s war with Yemen make it unlikely that Saudi Arabia could afford a $110 billion deal. What’s more, he saw that America’s last weapons deal to Saudi Arabia only went through after the United States agreed to make sure Israel maintained its qualitative edge over other Arab countries. “You will know the Trump deal is real when Israel begins to ask for a package to keep the Israeli Defense Forces’ qualitative edge preserved,” Reidel wrote.

That really not what fake news means - because it's not fake. Lockheed Martin and GE both signed letters of intent, which is not like a promise ring. Letters of intent are usually binding as to intent and price and are just waiting on finalized details of a contract like delivery dates, liability allocation, etc.
The depth of dumb is maddening. All Trump voters are America hating idiots. I have one "friend" that voted for Trump- a Canadian with dual citizenship, she voted Trump because she doesn't like paying income taxes on her barista wages. And she hates Hillary. Still can't believe people hated hillary so much they elected a giant orange illiterate wanking con man. Embarrassing. Sad!
I'm all for segregation. Trump voters should be isolated and ignored. They don't need to be educated or talked to. And I don't need to lend an ear to hear their bullshit rust belt tales of woe. I'm the child of a mill worker and a mother who packed fruit for a living with the migrant workers. And I took my white trash ass and went to college. The horrors. I read books. I'm an elitist because I think everyone deserves rights and equality. Blah blah blah.
The sickening truth is that some people are just evil. Trump is evil and a lot of Americans are idiots. They can enjoy their trickle down Trumpian urine stream because his "success" isn't going to be raining down on anyone. A piss stream is all we're gonna get.
Trump is allegedly going to live tweet Comey's testimony Thursday because he believes that he's the most effective spokesperson for the administration. I guess he doesn't have anything else to do. Trump is hosting a dinner tonight that Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton will be attending, 2 Senators that will be questioning Comey on Thursday. No conflict there at all.
I, for one, am shocked. Shocked I'm telling you. IIRC from the other thread you were born in Amsterdam, so you must be pissed none of the parties there are even willing to talk to Wilders' hate spewing ass.Quote:

I don't mean to sound stupid, but I don't understand Trump's tweets about Qatar and the hard line on funding. What is he talking about?

So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding...

...extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism!
Translation: Did I mention specifically I talked with Saudi Arabia in my last tweet? Well no, here it is then. Saudi Arabia, the #1 cause of the proliferation of extremist ideologies re: Islam (Wahabbism) told me it was all Qatar's doing, and of course KSA'd never do such a thing! The King of Saudi promised me himself that he'll take a break from constructing more Wahabbi-teaching Madrassah's (Islamic schools) and mosques in order to blame Qatar more, and maybe somehow penalize them and their citizems for shit they aren't even doing in the first place.
I'm such an ignorant moron, that I swallowed that bullshit hook line and sinker, and then mused to myself that I just solved Islamic terrorism!
Did I mention I'm great? Great!
