Here’s hoping that this is the straw that breaks the camel’s (hah!) back and we come down on them like a ton of bricks. The short-term economic pain would be well worth the gain of not needing to support a parasite state in the Middle East militarily.

We all know they are lying but I think we need to press them for the body to prove it. It’s kinda like China, in that we probably need them more than they need us.

It might be just the slap in the face the US needs to start running away from fossil fools, and moving to an all electric economy powered by renewables and nuclear. The prospect of being stuck at home, freezing in the dark might just get the anti-science types to soften their stance on nuclear power.
Short-term pain for long-term gain and profit.

Technically he was a Saudi on Saudi soil (correct me if I am wrong).
