if the story is true then it may be great news. But the fact is Saudi Arabia's GDP ranges from $1.2 trillion to $1.4 trillion. Investing $600 billion is an unrealistic figure.

Everyone is reporting it???

When Saudi Arabia and their government is compared to Iran, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, there is little doubt which nation is much more preferable for the USA to be friends with.

The US has been supplying arms to the Saudis across several administrations. What is new is the outright admiration for their form of governmen by an American president.

Trump speaking to a Saudi audience on May 13th:

"It's crucial for the wider world to know this great transformation has not come from western intervention or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs, no," he said.

"The gleaming marbles of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation builders, neocons or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabul, Baghdad, so many other cities," he said. "Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves. ... In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves."


"In recent years, far too many American presidents have been afflicted with the notion that it's our job to look into the souls of foreign leaders and use U.S. policy to dispense justice for their sins," the president added.

You really think that the unjust Killing of one American journalist ought to be enough to turn the USA against Saudi Arabia.

I disagree with Trump mocking his predecessor for raising the journalist's murder with the crown prince.

It’s funny how much some of you take after him. You couldn’t help but try to make this visit some contest between Trump and Biden being received by the Saudis and Trump couldn’t tout his accomplishments without also bringing up Biden on the same breath.

The old guy lives rent free lol.
