Trump confirms MBS is pushing him to continue Iran war

U.S. President Donald Trump publicly confirmed on Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging him to maintain an aggressive military posture against Iran, validating a New York Times report that the kingdom's de facto ruler views the ongoing U.S.-Israeli campaign as a once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the Middle East. Asked by a reporter whether MBS was encouraging him on Iran policy, Trump responded bluntly: "He does, he is a warrior. He is fighting with us, by the way."

... U.S. President Donald Trump publicly confirmed on Tuesday that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been urging him to maintain an aggressive military posture against Iran, validating a New York Times report ...

Yet, MBS seems to be sitting on the sidelines ...

Might this be what MBS has gotten for the billions funneled into Mr Kushner's investments?

"according to people briefed by American officials on the private conversations"
Uh huh...

Nothing like being in the middle of someone else's holy war.
What could go wrong?
And, mind you, we're coming in on the side of the nation that supplied 95% of the 9/11 bombers.

3 Indeed.

None of the Taliban wanted anything to do with al-Qaida's external operations-- especially Mullah Omar.

At the mujahadeen camp in Afghanistan, posters were put up looking for volunteers for a "special operation."

None of the Pashtuns or other Afghans volunteered for it.

Now Dummkopf Trumpf has put the US on the side of the Wahabbis in this fitna.

MBS used the same language as Benjamin Netanyahu-- "a rare opportunity to re-shape the Middle East."

With the morbidly obese geriatric draft-dodging golf cheating pedophile in the White House, China will also have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-shape Asia, like Vladimir Putin is now attempting to re-shape Europe.
