Phil1111 908 #1 Posted August 9, 2020 Its no wonder that trump loves the Saudis so much. Like Putin killing opponents in other countries using hit teams, trump dreams of such opportunities to deal with his "traitors". Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been accused of sending a hit-squad to Canada in order to kill a former Saudi intelligence official. The failed plan to kill Saad al-Jabri was soon after the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Turkey, court documents filed in the US allege. Mr Jabri, a veteran of the government of Saudi Arabia, fled into exile three years ago. He has been under private security protection in Toronto since. The alleged plot failed after Canadian border agents became suspicious of the hit-squad as they attempted to enter the country at Toronto's Pearson International Airport, court documents say. Family of exiled top Saudi officer Saad al-Jabri 'targeted' Mr Jabri, 61, was for years the key go-between for Britain's MI6 and other Western spy agencies in Saudi Arabia.

Loves them enough to bow before them? I read all that, and still don't see where Trump fits in at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ABC News finds 54 cases invoking 'Trump' in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults. Yet "ABC News could not find a single criminal case filed in federal or state court where an act of violence or threat was made in the name of President Barack Obama or President George W. Bush.

The Trump administration’s secret authorizations to sell nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia "The House Committee on Oversight and Reform released a fifty-page report on July 29 documenting that corporate and foreign interests motivated the Trump administration’s decision to secretly transfer nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia, a charge minority members of the committee have denied. While the committee’s allegations of corruption are deeply troubling, they distract from the larger concern that the secret authorizations violated the law and jeopardized national security."

RonD1120 58 #8 August 11, 2020 I would venture to say that many of us have been close friends or associates with business persons engaged in the importation and/or distribution of illegal pharmaceuticals over the years past. I know of at least one beside me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,117 #10 August 11, 2020 Ron, you're not the President. There are things that are OK in friends that aren't as OK in people in power. Abuse thereof is very high on the list (and anyone with lots of money has power). Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
