In Which Trump Imitates Stroock

So in both Israel Strikes and Israel Strikes: War of the Red Sea the Saudis are an integral part of Israel's war with Iran. Much of this is the work of a reform minded prince. Well:

The United States sealed a multi-billion arms deal to Saudi Arabia, the White House announced on Saturday, a move that solidifies its decades-long alliance with the world's largest energy producer just as President Donald Trump begins his maiden trip abroad as leader of the free world.
The agreement, which is worth $350 billion over 10 years and $110 billion that will take effect immediately, was hailed by the White House as "a significant expansion of…[the] security relationship" between the two countries.

For our own part, and we must have noted this sentiment here before, we'd be happy if ISIS decapitated the entire Royal Family and blew the country to bits. Be that as it may this strikes us as a wonderful deal for out economy and defense establishment, not to mention an important step on forming an anti-Iranian alliance.

We suppose some pro-Israeli folks that worry about the Saudis getting all this high tech weaponry. Don't Saudi Arabia's diplomatic opposition to Israel has always been pro-forma. They don't care, not really. Besides they both hate and fear Iran. In fact, if Israel were to attack Iran tomorrow the entire Sunni world would rejoice.

So this is a good deal for us, them, and Israel.

Oh, and we love that Ivanka and Melania went without veils.
