‘Our relations are with Israel’: Trump appears to give embattled Netanyahu the cold shoulder

President Trump appeared to distance himself from embattled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, declining to offer either encouragement or praise to his most enthusiastically loyal foreign ally now that he faces potential electoral defeat.

Saudi Arabia said it signed a memorandum of understanding on the purchase from Russia of S-400 air defense systems. That marked a shift for the kingdom, which buys most of its military supplies from the United States and Britain.

What the hell is Opps man?

Are you trying to say Oops?

That's at least the 2nd time I've seen you write that.

"Potential electoral defeat"?

You mean like any politician in any election faces?

It's slim to none. He's not concerned in the least bit.


Love how he's calling out Joe Biden's dementia right now. My guess is that he would rather face off against Joe because he sees him as easy prey right now and he knows that the idiots on the left will rally behind Joe and keep him from retiring to his dementia in a home just like they're keeping Ginsberg on life support because Trump.

Short of some great global catastrophe that could plausibly be blamed squarely on the Trump administration, there is nearly zero chance that Trump is not re-elected.

THUGR ... The MOU on S400s was signed but the KSA never purchased them. To be honest, even if they had, it's doubtful the system could have protected the "stabilization fability" from a coordinated swarm attack in which the initial drones confused and distracted the radar system.

It looks like the Houthis took a page from the Iranian playbook bcause when Iran shot down the USA's Global Hawk drone, the USA lied and said it was over international waters, and the Iranians let out a little information and evidence over several days, forcing USA "officials" to change their story time and time again until the USA narrative, and credibility, was publically destroyed. Now the Houthis are dribbling out evidence how they conducted their attack, forcing USA officials to back away from the "Iran did it" story.

ISRAEL IS NOT A USA ALLY IN THE MIDEAST.

While we have spent trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives fighting Israel's wars with Syria, Iraq, and Iran, Israel has not spent one dime fighting for our interests.

"Bibi" has lost the election, gaining fewer seats than "Benny" Gantz. Now Bibi should get his just deserts: jail time for corruption. And Jared Kushner will have to find a new BFF is Israel and have to figure out how he's going to sell "the Deal of the Century" to the new Israeli government. (No wonder Trump withheld its release until after the election! He has no idea if there would be a partner in government to receive and implement the plan!)

I hope I've reduced your confusion over ME events.

You suppose they make those with an English manual and screens? Or do they just send a few Russians along with every purchase? I'm not featuring too many Saudis speaking Russian - not the kind of thing you want to just "wing it."

You're not featuring too many Saudis speaking Russian in your work of fiction? Does that mean there will be at least one? A few? Half of them?

Is this a novel or a screenplay?

Tillerson: Netanyahu, Israelis 'played' Trump

Yep, every other foreign leader played president rump. Why would we expect that Netanyahu wasn't up to taking advantage of such an easy mark?

US intelligence was appallingly bad, which is putting it mildly. This is an intelligence failure on the order of the failure of 9/11. Exactly why America and Saudi Arabia were so blind-sided is a question that needs answers.
