If that's true, then the Sadui's and UAE are sending troops that have some very recent combat experience in Yemen more then likely, so these are not your typical "Arab Army" troops, but ones that have been blooded in some pretty brutal fighting.
And I get it that the whole Khasoggai thing is merely something else to hammer Trump with. I'm sorry, but yes he was a "columnist" for the WaPo, but he was still a Saudi citizen. He went to the embassy of his own free-will. Therefore he was on Saudi territory. And yes, they behead people in their own country. Did MbS order his execution, I don't know and even if so, again. He's a Saudi citizen on Saudi territory. Yes, we should send a strongly worded letter, but beyond that...eh. The MSM on the other hand want us to break all ties and invade. From what I understand Khasoggai may have been a Muslim Brotherhood member, in which case I say good riddance to bad trash. But my overall attitude is "Not our problem." Not everybody who is in power in various countries is all sweetness and light. We have to deal with some not so nice people, especially in the ME, which seems to contain a greater percentage of f*expletive deleted*tards then the rest of the world.
Point two. Syria and Assad were always somewhat friendly with the USSR/Russia. But only when we started funding and supplying arms to the Anti-Assad forces (by shipping Libyian weapons from Benghazi, via the CIA), did he fully embrace their support. "I give you warm water port for metric buttload of whatever leftover cold war stockpiles of guns and tanks and bullets you still have in warehouses."
And who did that again ??
Yes, what Hillary and Obama did borders on Treason. Everything they touched turned to shi!t and only made things worse.
