Trump says Saudi Arabia's King Salman 'would not last two weeks' without US support

    Donald Trump has warned Saudi Arabia's King Salman he would not last “two weeks" without the backing of the US military.
    The president, in an effort to pile pressure on one of America’s closest allies over the rising cost of oil, called on the kingdom to increase its defence budget or face an uncertain future.

    Speaking at a campaign rally in Mississippi, he said: "I love the king, King Salman, but I said: 'King, we're protecting you. You might not be there for two weeks without us. You have to pay for your military, you have to pay."'

I dare Saudies to do what they did to Canada but this time to the USA.

The ORange Turdfuhrer had best worry about his own army.

Of course, these scuzzbuckets think everything can be fixed if we just throw MORE MONEY at the problem.

In the report, Heritage calls for an Army of 50 brigade combat teams, a Navy of 400 ships and 624 aircraft, an Air Force of 1,200 fighter/attack aircraft and a Marine Corps of 36 battalions. In reality, the Pentagon’s numbers fall well short of that, even in the department’s most optimistic dreams.
Overall the report gives the Army, Air Force and Navy a “marginal” grade, essentially a C. That’s actually good news for the Army, which rose from “weak” in the previous index, a change driven entirely by improvements in readiness, which moved from “weak” to “strong” — the only positive ranking among all the American military service categories.
In last year’s version of the index, just one-third of the 31 brigade combat teams were assessed as being at acceptable levels of readiness, with only three BCTs at full readiness. That increased to 15 BCTs at acceptable levels, with eight fully ready – better, but still below the two-thirds mark that the Army has said it wants.

The Heritage Foundation of course is a neo-nazi...um neo-con gang of shitheads who think that every problem in the world can be solved by dropping bombs on it!
