Is this the official end of our alliance with Saudi Arabia?


Isn't this the ONLY reason why we are allied with SA?

What's going to happen to the value of the dollar if all that global reserve currency is returned to domestic circulation in the USA?

It's always funny to me that a lot of convenient helicopter crashes happen and the new administration just is like 

"Yeah man total accident, also let's just coincidentally start doing what the United States wants'

The funny thing with the last one is I think they only sent those missiles towards Israel so it didn't look like they were letting down some allies. They 100% called the united states and Israel to tell them so that way they could more easily shoot them down without causing any damage and despite doing this. They still got killed as a Just in case measure. 

It's actually a bit of a relief though because at least the Biden administration did not Pussy out of letting it go unaddressed,  but you know if Trump was in those missiles wouldn't have left the ground to start with

I love the staye departments response of 

"We didn't kill that nigga, but if we did it was because we support freedom of Iranian people"

Hmm… this should be a pretty big deal, but the major outlets don’t seem to even give it a mention. This will have consequences, they just aren’t immediate…

Clearly they are trying to keep this quiet.

Here’s a good article on the matter:


No one can say with authority how big a deal this is, though…

Well Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is glad he got $2 billion from Saudi Arabia.

And Biden called SA a journalist murderer nation. Biden also did a lot of other things to cause this diplomatic rift (like weakening US power perception globally)

Even Jared won't get Saudi Arabia to invest in the US petrodallar after that fuckup.

Biden is pretty much forcing America to MAGA with his fuckups, just like the guy in my propic. Only the smartest people on this site can see this.

I guess now Americans will actually have to work for a living.

No petrodollar = no free stuff from other countries.

Here’s a good counterpoint analysis of this situation:
