So, MBS gets to decide the "terms" under which Trump will take or not take action? Just one more example of how this ****bag as made this country a vassal-state for foreign dictators and potentates.
 
I eagerly look forward to what Saudi Arabia will have us do with our military.

Can't wait to see if his supporters go with the "he's so stupid that he didn't actually mean what he said" defense or the "but Hillary had a private server" defense.

Nope if you look at some of the threads his supporters are all ready getting in line for a warmonger circle jerk rallying behind Trump's war cries.

Serious question - the attack was on a Saudi facility in Saudi Arabia, so what should the US do unilaterally?

This is probably why Trump capitulated.

That's two instances now in less than two years of the President of the United States threatening to start another war in the Middle East and then backing down.

That’s up to Saudi Arabia to decide.

Dictators are a dime a dozen these days but there's only so many omnipotent royal asses to kiss!

Gotta love the spin.

Tell me...would you rather Trump decided what he will do without any coordination or cooperation with the government of the very country the event happened in? Sounds to me like you want Trump to be the dictator of the world.

Exactly. We have no obligation whatsoever to fight SA's battles. This attack seems to be in retaliation by the Houthi rebels for the massive atrocities committed by SA (and supported by ****bag's "administration") in Yemen.

unilaterally? Why should the U.S. do anything? Why is Trump officially waiting to see whether Saudi Arabia orders us to do anything on their behalf?

In a normal world a thing like your ****bag would never have been in the position of making any decision whatsoever about how to use our military but since that's a way off, for the time being this country shouldn't be involved in any way with this matter. Why do you think we should support a terror supported regime like SA?

Whatever we think of Saudi Arabia they are an important ally, and it stands to reason we'd want their input before we launched attacks on their behalf, and certainly before we made any strikes inside their nation.

If the situation demanded that we act more quickly than that, I don't suppose Trump would ignore those calls for action from his own people but if so, I expect we'll hear about it before very long.

Good thing you aren't in charge. Iran would have free rein to cause havoc in the Middle East.

But don't worry. Trump doesn't like to use military force unless necessary.

So you want to go to war on behalf a repressive, murderous medieval religious autocracy with whom we have an alliance solely on the basis of its oil? I'm tired of people like you pushing us into wars we never should have been in and who will never actually put themselves in the danger they create for thousands of other Americans.

That's hilarious from someone who cheer led us into Iraq and Afghanistan. What glorious wars they still are 18 years later, right? How many tens of thousands of American lives have been lost or ruined and now into millions of other innocent lives in those countries because of the armchair bravery of people like you here.

I think what Trump is saying is that SA needs to prove that Iran did it before Trump decides to do anything. That, imo, is a sound negotiating tactic.

He does tend to just strut around pretending to be a tough guy---there is that. But at some point that bluff is going to get called and there couldn't be a worse person to be C-in-C when it does. And it's hilarious that you think there's not already a perpetual havoc in the ME which is always on the tipping point of igniting into something much worse BECAUSE of countries like SA.

Do you ever wonder why your Dear Leader needs to Tweet this stuff to the world? Does he think this is some kind of game and part of his role is to engage the audience? Seriously, what could possibly be the reason he'd put that out on social media ?

Playing devil's advocate here, doesn't the oil facility that was attacked process nearly half the world's supply of oil? Couldn't this have a detrimental affect on other countries besides Saudi Arabia, including the U.S.? Oil prices are already shooting up around the world. If Saudi Arabia can't defend it's oil facilities, is it a responsible move to just let them go under?

So, let's say SA "proves" Iran did it to ****bag's satisfaction. That still doesn't or shouldn't commit us to do anything for SA does it. SA already has billions worth of our top military hardware and the training to use it so let them do what they want. Do we have a mutual defense treaty with SA? I don't think so.

That would be sound if that's what he said. It is not, however, what he said.

Has anybody else noticed that a common trump supporter technique is to take a crazy thing trump said and make it okay by changing his words into an entirely different set of words that that isn't completely crazy?

Trump: "We should take all of our money, poop on it, put it under our pillows and in six weeks we'll have rainbow diamonds!"
Everybody: "Wut..."
Trump supporter: "Guys guys guys, all he was saying is to invest in low commission ETFs and don't touch your investments until you're ready to retire. Sheesh."

So we go to war for oil again? And again? And again? Every time?
