And ofc the demon Salman lives.

4. re: "Why is America still buddies..."

Well, it could be the 5 military bases we have there or maybe the dollar value of investment in their oil fields...

That's always the answer to any "Why?" question in American politics and foreign policy.

3. The French need to ask if he knows Jared Kushner.

[liberalla]

6. Bingo! There's a Jared link for sure (I believe), but his dealings might have been above

the royal guard level with either Bin Salman or his closest and most senior advisers.

But asking the question would probably still yield interesting results...

10. Irony of "He Went To Jared"

Maybe gems were exchanged, maybe investments, maybe military hardware, maybe other promises...but they did go to Jared!

[sarcasmo]

12. MBS paid off Jared's 666 building. I'm sure favors were expected.

Of course, he knows Kushner and is friends with him - DJT sent Khashoggi to Saudi Arabia. I wonder how much money DJT and Kushner got for delivering him. I hope they all get what they've got coming
