Oh, so you LIKE the kind of diplomacy that Obama used in sending billions of cash on pallets to bribe them with?Xavier_Onassis » 19 Jul 2022, 7:51 am » wrote: ↑ It would be really stupid for Biden to accuse MBS of murdering Kashogghi and then asking him to increase oil production, wouldn't it?
It would be really stupid for MBS to do anything that made it look like he was a lackey of infidels to his people, wouldn't it?
It is entirely obvious that MBS knows that the entire world KNOWS that he ordered the entire Khasshoggi murder. He ordered it, and no one else in Saudi Arabia could possibly have done it against his wishes.
The meeting between Biden and MBS will not produce immediate results, because MBS does not want to look like a puppet.
Anyone that has studied foreign policy is bright enough to know this.
But you rightwing nutjobs are both ignorant of how diplomacy works as well as mean spirited and stupid.
That the kind of "diplomacy" your proud of in dealing with the worst sponsor of terrorism in the world?
And following up with a promise to take military action against them if they finally build a nuke?
That oughta make them friendly and eager to deal with this demented buffoon you installed, shouldn't it?
Is that your idea of "how diplomacy works"?
