Somebody take the sword away from that child before he does some real damage.
You cannot keep up with this guy. But Fiske is right: this is war on the Shiites.
Yep…keeps the region split along these religious lines…my sense is that they are doing what they can to provoke Iran, to get the Iranians to take their bait as a pretext for major military action…were you aware that besides the military/economic deals that the Saudi’s gave the Trumps more than $1.2 billion in personal gifts, including a yacht and apparently a sword made of gold so he can continue dancing in the White House and use it to slay the next FBI director he appoints of the guy “goes Comey”. I can’t stop watching the sword dance – it’s a metaphor for the relationship – misogyny, Wahhabism, war and U.S. diplomats who don’t have a clue of either how to dance or more seriously, engage in diplomacy
