Trump's arms deal with Saudi Arabia cost taxpayers $100b

[awesome31312]

I am curious to know what Bitcointalk's opinion is about this.

"Saudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave cast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays. Hillary must return all money from such countries!"
~Pre-election Trump

To be very honest, I doubt this will make a difference, if Trump supporters could be convinced with reason, they wouldn't have voted for him in the first place.

  Can you explain how this deal will cost taxpayers $110b?  What do you doubt will make a difference?

 I can't really understand what you are getting at...

And now they have and arms deal with one of those countries. Guess the realities of running a global power has finally dawned on him... Or maybe not, he didn't include KSA in his attempted ban, despite it being a hotbed of Wahabbism (IMHO its only unique export in modern times).

Yeah, it was really shocking. IMHO though, they could have clung to any Republican.

The headline can't be anymore misleading. Trump's deal with Saudi Arabia will add tens of billions of USD to the treasury, and it will create hundreds of thousands of extra jobs in the United States. But then, it is wrong to expect anything positive about Trump from the mainstream media.

The reason possibly that Trump won the election is due to this principle " choose the lesser evil". Trump is much better than Clinton and if Clinton won the election shed be much worst than Trump. Trump is pro-life and hilary is anti-life with regard to the issue of abortion. The economy of America as well as solving the most crucial issues in America which is unemployment will be solved by Trump.

How can you hope that Trump is able to do something. All his efforts are now focused on in order to avoid impeachment. Trump accidentally became President, and therefore he did not know what to do. What is good in business could ruin it in politics.

Your post is a paid shitpost.

The money went to a country that is involved in human rights violations. The money will be used to participate in the military industrial complex, which is a machine that takes from taxpayer money and injects into the hands of the corporate elite

 Check your history books 2011 through 2015.  Saudis are historically the top purchasers of arms from the US.  This is one of the few countries that actually pay for them!

Disagree.

Agree.

The money will be used to participate in the military industrial complex
Agree

which is a machine
Disagree, it's a broad conceptualization of a hugely diverse set of companies, many involved in dozens of things besides military work

...that takes from taxpayer money and injects into the hands of the corporate elite
Agree in part. You've defined the job of a company's leadership, to earn profit for it's investors. But "taking from taxpayer money" in this case is false, since the income stream is from Saudi.

Glad to see that Trump is interested in maintaining good relations with Saudi Arabia, although he is Islamophobic. Saudi Arabia is the future super-power. So maintaining good relations with them can be beneficial for the Americans.

You contradict yourself. If Trump Islamophobia, why he is interested in good relations with the Arab world? It's not logical. Probably all is much easier. I think he has interest in the oil business and he's a lobbyist for weapons manufacturers. I'd like to see his income statement and compare with the period when he was President.

Your subject title and message doesnt match at all, And with regards to arms deal, its rather the US Government who is getting all those money and Ivanka's foundation also getting $100 million as well.

[Sithara007]

Has any western nation ever actually delivered any arms to saudi arabia since 2001? They keep making these deals but they'll never deliver. Why do you think the US and Canada are ramping up oil production? It's almost as if they're preparing for something...

A lot of western nations have delivered weapons to Saudi Arabia, during the past two decades. The list is long, but includes the United States, Canada, and Germany. Right now Saudi Arabia is bombing the Yemenis with explosives and jets which they got from these western nations.

Yeaaaaaaaah

Wonderful!
I mean that's really cool way to make america great again!
Let's sell billions of weapons to extremist islamists that's a brillant idea.

Oh and also close borders to muslims that's important.

Hahah exactly. Does not make sense does it. I am not sure why people dont realise whats going on. It takes a 5 min google search. Oh well. Such is.

Who knows? Maybe the master plan is to reduce worldwide Muslim population by proxy war with ISIS.

Arm Iran (by Russia, China), arm Saudis (US, Germany), ISIS and Iraqis, Syrian factions, Kurds, Turkey etc.

Let them fight each other to reduce the number of Muslims worldwide.

You sit, count the money and count the bodies (Muslim and non-Muslim)....

Problem with this plan is that it just takes too long...and in the end you'll not solve the root cause of the problem.

Jihadist ideology is part of Islam that is the root cause.

SUre!
Can't be inequality of wealth and constant exterior destabilization in order to take natural ressources.
Must be Islam.

I mean come on, we all know that the real problem is Islam, and there is a great correlation between the two because as we all know terrorism started with Islam! Wait... Didn't it started after the whole numerous wars in Middle East?

No, can't be that. Can't be our fault.

Yeah it's Islam!

[J Gambler]

This is why those arabs want to leave U.S for good because of sarcastic moves of trump yeh we know that trump hates muslims or other religion this is in human that they pay another tax of $100b this is too huge. But no ones will get this on heaven much better if we are going to be good than abusing someones power.

I don't think so. What do you make off all those things they've allowed into Europe. Those will breed like rabbits and outbred Europeans within a decade or two.

Continue going back in time and you'll eventually see the problem...

If we go back in time what do we see?
Few wars between ottoman empire and west.
Colonization.
Crusades.
Shit like this?
Wanna count the points?
Not sure West is the winner here...

Of course they aren't. The West, as a whole, didn't become an major aggressor in the Middle East until much, much later after it has become rich from wealth pouring from the colonies and has basically surpassed the Muslims in technology. The Crusades are more of an anomaly and bound to fail anyway. The Middle East was already fucked up under the Ottomans, and became fuckedx2 once the borders were drawn when the empire shrunk and became Turkey.
