lulz. I don't watch Hannity either son. Anytime I am at the gym, there are 5 TVs on. ESPN, CNBC and the local TV network plus FOX and CNN. One of the last two will inevitably have a story about the Queen of libs.. But you know that, you are just being argumentative.

Do you whine and commiserate with your fellow gym goers how Hillary is ruining everything while wiping the sweat of the nautilus benches?

Saudi Arabia Breaks 45-Year Taboo With Veiled Threat to Use Oil as a Weapon

For 45 years, it’s been considered out of bounds for Saudi Arabia. But all of a sudden, Riyadh made what many read as a veiled threat to use the kingdom’s oil wealth as a political weapon -- something unheard of since the 1973 Arab embargo that triggered the first oil crisis.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, said on Sunday it would retaliate against any punitive measures linked to the disappearance of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi with even “stronger ones." In an implicit reference to the kingdom’s petroleum wealth, the statement noted the Saudi economy “has an influential and vital role in the global economy.”

The anxieties were exacerbated by an opinion piece penned by Turki Al Dakhil, who heads the state-owned Arabiya news network and is close to the Royal Court, in which he openly talked about using oil as a weapon.

“If President Trump was angered by $80 oil, nobody should rule out the price jumping to $100 and $200 a barrel or maybe double that figure,” he wrote.

Add this to the not subtle at all 9/11 threat that got thrown at Canada, I hope we reevaluate our relationship with these dudes. No more arms deals would be cool.

Looks like we can add "rogue killers" to the "Chinese hackers" and the "fat guy in his mom's basement" lies.

And I refer you to my earlier answers. Nothing has changed.

Will be curious to see what GOP Senate does. They've said a lot. We shall see.

Are you referring to your accusations that Trump is profiting from SA?

Ok, say it's any other POTUS, why would we involve ourselves? He's not a US citizen, it didn't happen on US soil so how is this any of our business?

As a general proposition, I struggle with whether we should really intervene in something like this. However, I think that Trump's business assets in SA may cloud his judgment, as well.

There should be no judgement to make, it's non of our business. We can't make foreign policy decisions over 1 incident that didn't involve a US citizen.

I don't remember you pitching a fit over the Russian sanctions because of the Skripals poisonings. Why now are you outraged that we might make foreign policy decisions based on this supposed killing?

That also should have been non of our business. My response in this thread is more of a response to those clamoring for action over something that didn't involve us and claiming our non-action is because of Trump business ties.

Are your foreign policy ideas coming from a stance of isolationism and not based on the values of American society?

But it still highlights how those interests could really affect his judgment.

They are coming from a stance that we are not the worlds police force and should mind our own business for the most part. I see no vital national interest in what may or may not have happened to this man.
