I have said it many times before. Saudi Arabia is not out ally. Questions:
1. Why haven’t they volunteered their navy to help clear the strait?
2. Why haven’t they launched one missile or bomb in retaliation for being struck many times?
3. How many troops did they send to Iraq or Afghanistan? FYI 0…
4. How many 9/11 terrorists were saudis? FYI 19 out of 20…
