Trump did a good thing by humiliating Saudi Arabia

War is never bad for business.

War is never bad for business.

Exactly.  The point can even be made that business is one of the main reasons nations go to war.

No. The "Arabian" living under the invasion of the Sauds for the land is not a "Saudi".

Calling a whole population after the name of a family is so insulting; especially in an era where this dirty royal system is practiced nowhere.

I never said that they were 'Saudis'.  But the correct, accepted term for these people is 'Saudi Arabian', whether you like it or not. Look it up.

Theys dont want to have all the tankers sunk by a (global) war.

They want $.
$ = business
war = bad for business

How much more simple can i put it?

You're insanely overconfident... do you work in the oil industry? Or for the military industrial complex? A mid East policy expert?

Fine then. Saudi Arabia wants a global war, and they want to start it not on the opposite site of the globe but in its very own backyard.
PM me when it started.

The world's leaders, both friend and foe alike, when they talk of war, one can sell ideology, politics and religion, but the truth of our entire species history is that it still amounts to competing over resources.

Trump may have humiliated many nations but I have experienced shame and humiliation on a daily basis since the 2016 campaign.

Another thing that is boosted is science. Well, in times of war suddenly leaders want to find ways to use knowledge to kill the enemy better. I tried to submit a project to the Portuguese army: bullets attached to a string, hence you'd never run out of amno. Since we are not at war, they didn't gave me research grants.

lol, I never applied for a grant, but I did my baccalaureate thesis on the peaceful applications of wartime technology.

“War is bad for business”...what? No it’s not. I suppose it’s bad for the grocery store that gets blown to bits or whatever but it’s not bad for the oil industry.


“Fuck these royals, and we will be grateful for you.” I’ll pass on fucking the Saudi royals, thanks

This name -Saudi- is a new as the reign of the Sauds in 1744:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Saudi_Arabia

The history of Saudi Arabia in its current form as a state began with its foundation in 1744

The word "Saud" refers to this family :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Saud

The House of Saud (Arabic: آل سعود‎, romanized: ʾĀl Suʿūd IPA: [ʔaːl sʊʕuːd]) is the ruling royal family of Saudi Arabia. It is composed of the descendants of Muhammad bin Saud, founder of the Emirate of Diriyah, known as the First Saudi state (1744–1818)

No. Its citizens are not properties of the house of Saud, this place -Arabia- is way older than the house of Saud or 1744.

Trump is one grand asshole he and his wing. He sold the Sauds after they payed him Billions; in a gesture telling us all that you can never buy his like.. but yes; he embarrassed America and will keep doing so, and just like he milked Saudies he will soon milk Americans.

It only hurts the workers. But banks, arm companies and even shipping companies will flourish -imaging the price of shipments at times of peace vs price of shipments at times of war".
