    Its a "Pay to Play" system - if you Play - along with the Establishment international financiers -- you get paid - and everybody knows it.

    and creating instability is a hallmark - period.

    No he isn't, he's an appeaser who doesn't want to face up to the bad guys who are reaping the whirlwind. Plus this is largely just symbolic, as long as Britain keeps supplying the Saudis all this means is a loss of revenue for American businesses.

    He is facing up to the bad guys. You're just refusing to acknowledge who is bad when you see fit.

    There is no "symbolism" when real civilians die due to famine that you're nation is causing.

    The Iranians/Houthis are the bad guys, plain and simple.

    Last time I checked your beloved El Saud had committed massive war crimes - crimes against humanity - and the US hit with complicity...

    The simple thing here is your assessment of the situation - and you are plainly wrong - as usual.

    El Saud is way more evil than Iran in this conflict - but even if this was not the case - this does not atone for the massive war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by your beloved El Saud .. for whom you are desperate to apologize.

    Like what? Giving the Houthis a taste of their own medicine?

    What Medicine .. Houthi's did not invade a foreign nation - your beloved El Saud with its proxy army Al Qaeda invaded Yemen - committing war crimes - crimes against humanity against the people of Yemen -which includes the Houthi's.

    Perhaps El Saud should have a taste of their own medicine .. since the US is arm in Arm with Brother El Saud - should the US receive a taste as well ?

    You mean stop the Houthis taking over the country and imposing their despicable regime? And now they're whining because they're losing the war they started?

    Right. Were you even aware that he singled out the EXACT SAME Islamic countries that the Tan Messiah had listed before? His rationale was exactly the same as Oby's in that the restrictions were only on nations that could NOT sufficiently vet those who would be coming in. It's just a straight-up lie to say he wanted to stop immigration from all Islamic nations. But hey, you guys have become so comfortable lying about the BOM that it'd be too difficult to stop now.

    That's a commendable sentiment but when we're about 27 Trillion in debt and spending an average of an extra trillion per year more than we take in taxes, the debt hasn't mattered to DC in many years. There is a collapse coming and the only unknown is what the timing will be.

    It's an example of papa Joe being tough on Iran, hadn't you heard? By leaving the Saudis to handle this on their own, his handlers know that eventually the Shia in Yemen will win. Once that occurs Iran will control territory on BOTH sides of the Straits of Hormuz. In such a position they will easily be able to slow or stop traffic through the Strait and dictate how much oil flows. Add to that power the potential for demanding a toll for every vessel and things will be looking great from the mullah's POV. The REAL kicker will be what they're capable of demanding once they have nukes.

    That couldn't be more obvious. Only the voters can change it but they seem to like federal government spending.

    You are badly confused. The countries that Trump banned where ones listed by Obama as impossible to vet because the government had collapsed and there was no way to even identify who the people were, much less if they were a potential threat to our American civilian population. You should try to be a bit more skeptical of fake news.

    And on Yemen. Look a little harder.

    BUYER’S REMORSE: Unpacking the fine print of Biden’s declaration about the war in Yemen.

    “There is enough intentionally ambiguous phrasing and doublespeak in his talk of ‘relevant arms’ and ‘offensive operations’ to make us wonder how new this approach is from the course we’ve been on for the past six years. If we were halting all arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and withdrawing all support for operations in Yemen, he would have said so.”

    Yes, this was largely a symbolic gesture from Biden to appease the left, it doesn't really matter whilst Britain keeps supplying the Saudis.
