Middle East: Saudis Murder & Dismember Washington Post Contributor

Trump announced that Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders were in the Saudi Embassy in Turkey the day Kashoggi was murdered. MBS had nothing to do with it.

The Trump Riyadh will break ground next week and Ivanka was granted 300 Saudi patents and trademarks. But all of this was pure coincidence.

If they do that, 115,000 of those troops will be used to protect Trump's golf course in Dubai.
 
Man, that can't be a good use of resources. I can't imagine someone like Lindsay Graham would allow military waste like protecting golf courses.
 
What’s the rationale for going to war with Iran - or prodding Iran incessantly until they do something that Bolton can use to coerce Donald into supporting a war with Iran?

Everyone loves a wartime CiC.

Also, Bolton's been wanting to invade Iran since the Shah left.

Aside from the aforementioned money and political security, fear-mongering and using that to take away civil liberties are also probably high on the list. Maybe even something fun like suggesting that we shouldn't have elections during a war for national security reasons.
 
Particularly the Iran situation is just chickens coming home to roost thanks to American and British interventionist politics.
 
Trump, frustrated by advisers, is not convinced the time is right to attack Iran

Trump’s anger over what he considered a more warlike footing than he wanted was a main driver in Pompeo’s decision last weekend to suddenly cancel a stop in Moscow and on short notice fly instead to Brussels, where he sought meetings on Monday with the European nations that are parties to the Iran nuclear deal, two officials said. Pompeo was not accorded the symbolic welcome of joining their joint Iran-focused meeting. Instead, he met with foreign ministers one by one.

Pompeo’s visit was meant to convey both U.S. alarm over the recent intelligence on Iran and Washington’s desire for diplomacy, not war, two officials said.

But European leaders, who have been watching the febrile atmosphere in Washington with alarm, have not been convinced, according to conversations with 10 European diplomats and officials from seven countries, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive assessments of Washington and Tehran.

Pompeo “didn’t show us any evidence” about his reasons Washington is so concerned about potential Iranian aggression, said one senior European official who took part in one of Pompeo’s meetings. The official’s delegation left the meeting unconvinced of the American case and puzzled about why Pompeo had come at all.
