Interesting look at the future economic relationship with China. I support complete decoupling our economies but that will most likely put us on a path to war. Will also strengthen the "axis of evil" as China will become more economically invested in countries hostile to us like Russia, Iran. NK, etc.

I am tired of the US being the laughing stock of the world so lets take a turn to laugh at Germany. Minister there trying to get a law passed that would require people to walk their dogs twice a day for a minimum of an hour.......

yeah...the Khashoggi dismemberment wasn't so long ago

yeah...the Khashoggi dismemberment wasn't so long ago

Khashoggi was a representation of the previous administrations policy. Just another arm of the Iranian/Hezbollah party.

Trump is taking out all the trash and now we are seeing peace and unification. I know you hate that he gets resilts.

 

[thethe]

We have peace accords in the middle east and unified rejection of hezbollah.

Nscapis response?

What about Khashoggi.

What a clown.

I have no problem with Nscapi sticking up for a guy who was friends with Bin Laden, mourned bin ladenS death, hates homosexuals and doesn’t believe Women are equal. All things not as bad as supporting trump in his mind.

Shall we chop his head off, too?

I thought Khashoggi was a journalist.

Jamal Khashoggi -

Saudi Arabia "should return to its pre-1979 climate, when the government restricted hard-line Wahhabi traditions. Women today should have the same rights as men. And all citizens should have the right to speak their minds without fear of imprisonment."

Saudis "must find a way where we can accommodate secularism and Islam, something like what they have in Turkey."

"What the Arab world needs most is free expression", Khashoggi described the hopes of Arab world press freedom during the Arab Spring and his hope that an Arab world free press independent from national governments would develop so that "ordinary people in the Arab world would be able to address the structural problems their societies face."


On Iran... "Iran looks at the region, particularly Syria, from a sectarian angle. The militias Tehran is relying on, some of which come from as far as Afghanistan, are sectarian. They raid Syrian villages with sectarian slogans, bringing to life conflicts from over a thousand years ago. With blood and sectarianism, Iran is redrawing the map of the region."

*************************
What a horrible person! You're right thethe. His dismemberment was justified.

Who's next?

World is a brutal place and he pushed his pro Iranian agenda through the WAPO. If you support Iran then you sypport terror.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Off the top if your head what was in the Iran nuclear deal other than the money involved.




Also nice to see we have reached the end if the narcissist prayer when it comes to Khashoggi. Now with no defense left they can only claim he deserved to die.

He was not pro Iranian.

If you support Trump, you support the murder of Americans and the beheading of journalists.
