      1. It's worth taking this tweet from 2014 both seriously and literally as a statement of policy: Trump thinks foreign policy should be a protection racket, with client states (a.k.a. allies) shaken down for $$ in exchange for USA maintaining the peace as the big boss. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/506198852933013504 …

      2. Foreign policy as protection racket is, incidentally, not an inherently absurd idea. The international relationship eggheads prefer more genteel language ("hegemony") but what is the point of imperial dominance if not plunder?

      3. Trump's statement about why Saudi Arabia is a great ally ("Saudi Arabia pays cash") is at least candid, moreso than the Council of Foreign Relations blather about the liberal international order and security of trade.pic.twitter.com/EDbuqtDFE7

      4. Given Trump's own words, it's worth asking how much money is driving the USA-Saudi relationship and the current push for war. I have more thoughts here: https://www.thenation.com/article/trump-saudi-arabia/ …

          Also, the "cash" (USD) contributed as "tribute" by the "allies" is USD net injected into the world and domestic economy by the US Government and ends up where it's intended to end up: powerful, already pecunious, U.S. corporate and individual "pockets"

          Speak softly and encourage wealthy nations to spend $billions in America. And blame Iran - "MOAR sanctions!" even when there's nothing left to sanction.

          The Bush family have a long long history in relationships with Saudi Arabia. Before either one was president. That's why they were Saudi men that flew those planes. And that's why we didn't attack KSA.

          Now do the same for Israel because they too are part of this.

          Considering the mafia connections to the Epstein child trafficking blackmail ring of elites, Trump could just be blurting out the truth.
