(25,250 posts)Cut off all terrorist financing, and this means starting by freezing the assets of the Saudi royal family. Then the SRF needs to have their diplomatic immunity revoked, opening them up to charges of financing terrorism. Next, the US and our allies ought to broker a rule that the Saudis must pay all the victims of terrorism restitution, paid for out of their frozen assets. Western nations, especially the US, Britain, and France, should be paid in the form of unlimited free oil. If we gather world leaders to cut off the Saudi money supply to terrorists, I think the attacks will dwindle and eventually be limited to their own backyards.
That's my solution. Question is, will the repigs go along with defunding the Saudis, as well as the banksters who bankroll those barbarians?
We've been fighting terrorism with the wrong weapons, according to Charles Pierce. Instead of reacting with military might, which will make us look like bumbling brutes, attack them where they live--right in their wallets.
