How's Trump going to spin this?
So much for the progressive era of Saudi Arabia that Vox foretold.
Bachmann is big brained about it as well
"The world is no longer going to laugh at us no longer"
Probably firing his CIA director.
I'm actually really surprised the CIA would release this information to the public like this, the repercussions are massive, specifically in arms trade. The CIA love their arms trade.
Not that I don't believe you but do you have a link? Google found nothing.
I think the pundit class pretty uniformly celebrated his crowning. I remember thinking it was a good thing too.
Maybe it was a different video but this seems to be the only one focusing on the prince. It seems to be saying the opposite here. https://youtu.be/DipzS0VH4PA?t=128
"just like Kavanaugh"
While sadly the prince is very much corrupt, and not at all above exerting political force, he's still a much more positive influence than previous leaders have been. Salman realizes that oil wells aren't going to last forever, and he needs to do as much as possible to bring his country into the modern era in order to compete with others. While he's obviously going to do everything he can to maintain power, that's what dictators do, he's at least going to try to relax some of the extremism that's happened over the last couple of decades.
Apparently, by criticizing our CIA as jumping the gun and claiming that Saudi Arabia is a spectacular ally.
Which pundit class? Fox News? Because most of the people I saw fawning over the new crown prince and his soft coup were on the right.
People say I support Trump too much so I'm going to say this. Saudi Arabia is shit and Trump shoulden't be kissing the ass of the oil shieks.
Nah, those fuckers deserve to burn. I hope their oil dries up and they get sent back to the Bronze Age where they belong.
He really wants that weapons deal to go through, just so he can go, "Look what I can do, THE ART OF THE DEAL!" even though Saudi Arabia has been buying our shit for years. Don't want to shit-talk your client and call him a scheming murderer or anything now!
that's not a spin that's a fucking deep stall
