"They are not" is a false argument regardless of country.
If you don't like, and I agree, America claiming to be a "Christian Nation" it still remains the powers that be use religion as a form of political appeal and or control. Iran does it, Israel does it China does it, all nations do it.
Saudi Arabia is politically dominated by Sunnis. Iran is Politically dominated by Shiites. Israel is politically dominated by Jews. China is politically dominated by Buddhists.
The worst part is all those competing factions dont want to face that the planet and universe are far older and don't give a shit about the fantasies humans make up.
But I do agree, Trump and the GOP are too fucking stupid to see he is an easy mark. Trump thought he could play a political Scar Face or Dirty Harry hero, but he is in over his head.
Believe me; Trump gets more respect from the Saudi officials than other Muslims.
The Saudi officials threw Trump a welcoming that worth a few billion
Do you realize what 110 billion dollars mean; Brian?
Is there a "real enemy", that pays all of that in a mere arms deal?
Is there a "real enemy" that receive their full arsenal of weaponry from their foes; paying billions for it?
Saudi Arabia is not Islamic; it's a bunker that Britain gave up to America before the discovery of oil.
They welcomed Trump with a golden medal!
Industrial Lad
Yemen will get chopped into two just like Sudan.
Soon enough the Middle East's map will differ a lot. Change already began in Syria, Sudan and Yemen.
Saudi Arabia is just a tool; just like Trump.
I don't know that much about Yemen in detail but I'm concerned by the humanitarian crisis.
Trump is definitely a tool. The establishment just has to pat him on the back and take him out for ice cream and he'll sign anything they want. Next will be net neutrality. What a phony.
