Whoever it is was deliberately trying to ape his style, for sure. Like every one of those Trump Fundraiser 500% MATCH emails "from" every second-string figure in the Trump Cinematic Universe, they all sound like one of his speeches. "Illegals pouring into this country at a level never seen before" and all that. Centuries of public-speaking tradition and oratory skill refinement and it turns out all you need is this garbage. e: gently caress I just subconsciously quoted his Diet Coke tweet, YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN

So one of the reasons oil prices are going up and continue to increase is because the Saudis are not complying with Biden's request to increase production. Apparently MBS is pissed that Biden won't talk to him directly (which should not be a surprise, as last year Biden said he was going to have a different relationship with MBS than Trump did). There is also increasing evidence that the OPEC states would prefer a Republican President as they want to keep getting US military assistance in their regional conflicts and MBS is also upset that Biden hasn't fully supported the Saudis in their Yemen war. https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1458846497856962563?s=20

More proof that voters' current sentiments about the economy are triggered by their lying eyes, instead of by PR efforts by politicians & their mouthpieces:quote:Housing costs for renters rose 0.4 percent in October from September, according to consumer price index data the Labor Department released Wednesday. That number, coupled with soaring home values, accounted for nearly a third of the 0.9 percent overall jump in inflation last month, which saw a blistering 6.2 percent increase from a year earlier. eta: I think increasing rents will overshadow other points of inflation over the coming years, because of homeowning becoming more unaffordable, landlords selling to institutional investors post-pandemic-relief, and new-housing developers concentrating on the luxury rental market.

Looks like someone misses the Neocons. "Gosh, what are we going to do with all this extra military spending. Can't just keep building tanks and parking them in the desert. At least not our desert." gently caress around and find out, I guess. If the Saudis think they won't eventually be added to the list when the boys get the band back together they're in for an unpleasant surprise.

I think he really is just that petty. This is a man who held his family in a hotel, effectively in prison, till they gave him what he wanted, and massacred a journalist because he dared to speak about him. Nuclear tech is nice, but this is the actions of a petty, spited monarch.

FlamingLiberal posted:Yes the article mentions that and i wonder if this is a fig leaf to MBS Alternatively, it’s a typical weapons deal and either the US sells to them or one of their competitors on the international marketplace will. Being able to make a buck on the sales and build relations will almost always trump taking some kind of principled stand that accomplishes nothing and reduces influence with them.

If Biden wants any hope at re election, he'd better talk to MBS. The man has thousands of dollars worth of DOTA skins, you don't know how far he can push it. We already deal with inhuman monsters all the time, you know who they are. What's another on the pile?

You know what they're doing with those weapons, right? Do you think that's worth "building relations" or "influence"? You don't have to justify this.

considering that deal is like a 2025 and on delivery date, the plan for those weapons (and indeed most of saudi arabia's arm purchases for years now) is an eventual war with Iran for supremacy in the region. Like they've been spending germany in the 1930s % of their gdp on military spending for almost a decade now. Ironically the yemen conflict was meant to be a test run and kind of a precursor skirmish that was meant to clean up some pesky border raids while putting iran on the back foot. Instead the KSA ended up somehow losing a genocide that they were committing.TheIncredulousHulk posted:This is loving psychotic The current global order can be accurately described as this, yes.
