AreWeDrunkYet posted:It's not that there isn't an element of politics to oil prices, the US has always leaned on and/or used weapons deals and defense partnerships as bribes with countries like Saudi Arabia and other "friendly" exporters to keep the taps open because low prices undermine countries like Iran and Russia. But it doesn't seem likely Trump even has an understanding of this, let alone has improved our position in that regard. I think he does. The Syria troop withdrawal was timed nicely with a Patriot system sale to Turkey Patriot sale: https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2018/12/19/turkey-cleared-by-us-for-35-billion-patriot-missile-deal-despite-s-400-row/ Syria withdrawal: https://www.npr.org/2018/12/19/678150756/reports-white-house-intends-to-pull-u-s-troops-from-syria

CommieGIR posted:I guarantee this data is being sold to foreign Intel agencies. It's probably a database with IMEI numbers tied to owners of the phone plans. In the US don't you need an ID to purchase a SIM card? Someone else may know more but wouldn't any country that requires an ID to purchase a SIM card be able to do this? Also I remember someone here remarked on a Trump tweet that excess parenthesis and commas in text was pretty indicative of mental illness. Anyone have more background on this?

psydude posted:Yeah I think it's them trying to push the blame on someone else, just like they do for everything. Mattis was pissed about mobilizing the troops to the border for political purposes, so it doesn't make sense that he'd be down with using USACE to build the wall. Not to sound like I'm in denial but Mattis probably said something like "I won't have them do it unless it's a state of emergency"
