The White House has asked Rick Perry to cancel his trip to India and instead go to London to work out a deal with Saudi Arabia to build nuclear reactors in the kingdom, sources tell @AriNatter and me.

Edited to say, see post 2. This is what Mike Flynn was texting about during the Inauguration.

2. Reminder from Wwcd

Unrolled Thread from Tea Pain re: Saudi Nuke Power Plants, Flynn, Kushner & ROSATOM
Remember the whistle blower story that involved Mike Flynn and Alex Copson textin' on Inauguration Day? It involved a bunch of people gettin' rich over a huge deal involving nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia.

Accordin' to the plan, the US military would supply security for 16 nuclear construction sites in Saudi Arabia using Russian nuclear components, but in order for this deal to go thru, the cripplin' Russian Sanctions must be lifted first.

5) Where this gets really interestin' is that ROSATOM's attorney, Scott Balber, is also the lawyer for Agalarov & Kaveladze who was at Don Jr's Trump tower meeting in June 2016. Balber was also formerly the lawyer for Trump and the Miss Universe organization.

6) Remember those mysterious trips Jared Kushner made to Saudi Arabia that went under-reported? To arrange the US military to provide support would require the cooperation of the Commander-in-Chief, Donald J. Trump.

7) Bob Mueller waived decades of prison sentences for Mike Flynn in exchange for important information. Tea believes we are lookin' at a massive "Quid Pro Quo", one of the drivin' motives for Trump to lift Russian Sanctions.

4. what could go wrong??

[McCamy Taylor]

8. You should. Saudi Arabia will promptly nuke Iran, their mortal enemies.

And Russian oil with rise in value. I always said that Putin planned to stab Iran in the back. Here is the dagger that will do the stabbing.

5. Canada sold Candu nuclear reactors to India in the 70s and they promptly

built nuclear weapons out of that.

9. "Raises big policy questions"

About the only question that causes this bandit administration to slow down if only a smidgen is whether someone in the administration will go to jail, and if that someone is sufficiently "in" to really matter (and that's a very short list). If it's just against some amorphous, rinky-dink policy, this administration has a long record of not giving a tin shit about such things.

10. This is what you get when your president can't spell "non-proliferation"

"More nukes good. Lots more nukes better. I make the best nukes in the world. Nobody in history has made bigger and better nukes than me."

That's probably one of the thoughts that wanders aimlessly through his brain.

Scary.
