    Iran & Saudi Arabia: cozy again - w/ China help, & we're still talking about J6.

    So... I'll ask again. The people who voted for Biden: Are you STILL of the mind that you did the right thing?

    When I replaced the windows and doors at my house I used aluminum. It was a mistake. I can admit it was a mistake and learn from it.
    I won't use aluminum again.

    You see? I admitted I made a mistake and I am adjusting. I'm not saying, "It'll be different next time! Next time it will stand up!"

    The big question is. Will you say, "Hey! I didn't think Bumbles would be this bad! I didn't think the liberal party was going to go this far! We need to get things stable again!"

    Or... will you, instead, think: Nah! AOC, Bernie, and Kamala are definitely the better choice? Or... are you also the same person that thinks: Ukraine is winning, LOL.

    Come on folks.

    Rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran restore ties, with China's help. Here's why it matters
    https://www.npr.org/2023/03/10/1162562242/saudi-arabia-iran-relations-china-analysis
    Saudi Arabia and Iran are restoring full diplomatic relations in a deal brokered by China, a move that could reduce tensions in the region and that asserts China's growing influence in the Gulf.

        Not good.
        Once oil isn’t traded on the US$ were kinda in trouble, bad trouble.
        But the Saudis and Iran are also playing a dangerous game with China. Trump told the world they are up to no good and everyone lol.
        Not good.

          Already happening.. Saudi told Biden to pound sand. They will sell oil in any currency they want. China and Russia are trading oil in their own currency..

            Remember when Obama bowed down to the Saudis?
            And then Biden groveled?

            When, WHEN will libs figure out that on the big stage you don’t play nice?
            It’s unbelievable we are living through and fighting over this cisbitranstesticular garbage and the real players are playing total world domination

            I just don’t get it.

            They also know (they=Saudi's) that Biden is keeping American oil production down, that is a direct threat to their "world dominance" in oil production. We have more oil reserves and more capacity than the Saudis do. Why in the world you would use that strength is beyond me.

          Here is the problem people see political parties these days like sports teams. Sure you may hate a player on the team but you will still root for team. That's what's going on in politics. It's not about the individual or the policies it's about thier team winning. I think this passed election proved this. It's a super toxic way to run a country but it is what we are reduced to.

            I think China (and it's secret "friends") are playing the long game, like chess, once all the pieces are in place, then it's "check mate" and the western free world will be corned, unable to do anything! I can see it here, the Chinese are moving into our neighboring Pacific Islands, (with promises and bags of cash) and up in Indonesia, once they have secure bases/allies all over the world, there will be little resistance possible from any country. There is some kind of "deal" at the moment with some Subs Australia "purchased" from the US to be based in strategic locations in the South Pacific. I can see big trouble in years to come.

              Yup. Chinese measure things in generations. American measure things in TikTok video. LOL.

                I think that's a pretty true statement.

                It is happening, but (in my opinion) all these small "squabbles" are just a smoke screen for the big picture, as mentioned, the Chinese think generations, the very long game. It will be just a slow occupation here and there, over decades and the "nothing to see here" mentality will be the ultimate downfall of "us"

                I agree.. Only thing is, the timeline. They have been thinking long term since WW2.

              I just saw on the news that China is very upset at Australia buying more Submarines, and say "it's a dangerous game" apparently there is some kind of "deal" to build them here in a few years? Why they would build them here is anyone's guess, one of the proposed sites for the new Submarine base is quite close to me. An ex Prime Minister is saying buying them is a complete waste of time, for the same price we could buy a heap of planes and missiles, no idea about that myself, but anyway, the new AUKUS "treaty" is now officially in place. AUKUS = Australia, United Kingdom and the United States.

                Planes and missiles can be tracked and shot down. A single sub can launch close to the target and is very hard to track. I would say a single sub has more fear factor than a hundred planes and missiles.

                  OK, I guess that's probably correct.....initially we are getting a few "used" subs while the new ones are bing built, apparently it's the only time a US submarine has "changed hands" in full operational/armed/ready state! No idea if that's true or just news crap talk.

                It's not about buying the most effective set of military hardware, it's about sending the maximum amount of taxpayer money to the weapons manufacturers, so that the proper percentage can be recycled to the politicians. Subs are expensive.

                The treaty would be better called "USUKA" in reference to the tax donkeys.

                  No, it's great. Every downed Reaper is another $32 million for General Atomics, its manufacturer. This allows them to buy the best politicians money can buy; they spent $1,014,652 last year doing just that.

                  This was just their political action committee, I think the 10% for the big guy comes straight out of the corporate budget.

                  And if anyone's curious what it looked like from the drone, I'll leave this download link up for a couple days. I'd just attach the video, but BoB doesn't allow posting webm files. https://drive.proton.me/urls/DZWKAF177W#wIEbZfN8IvV9
