Saudi Arabia never "threatened" the US with nukes
Saudi Arabia funded Osama to kill over 2,000 Americans on 9/11
This is what baffles me. Knowing what we know, how tf are they still considered an ally or friendly? Even recently with their manipulation of oil prices with Russia.
Because until we have energy independence (sometimes called green energy), they're the devil we're in bed with ... Which is yet another reason to get away from oil
The US has energy independence. The US' concern with oil prices is more based on the stability of its allies.
The link has plausible deniability, and in politics that matters more than what is likely
Cuba never flew a plane into a building.
No but they sent two planes into towers in NYC, dropping them both and killing thousands in an instant.
...and the US threatens everybody on the planet with nukes.
Who?
Are you lost?
No? Who does the US threaten with nukes. Outside of one case with Trump and North Korea I can't think of any.
You mean... apart from literally every man, woman and child on the damn planet? What did you think they have those nukes for? As desert decorations?
Deterrent !== Threatening. Owning a gun is very different from pointing it at someone
Riiiiight... and the US military was merely "defending" 'Murica when they dropped more ordnance on Vietnam and Laos than they dropped during the entire span of WW2.
Riiiiight.
Tell me another one, Clyde.
I didn't say that? I said threatening people with nukes. Currently the present day US is not threatening anyone with nukes.
Again... what did you think those nuke silos exist for? Desert decor, maybe?
Again is own a gun the same as aiming it as someone and telling them do what you want?
Lol! Did you really think the US's nukes aren't already aimed? Maybe learn something about the subject matter before feigning expertise on it, yes?
So, again... what did you think those nuke silos exist for? Desert decor, maybe?
