No, I blame the US because you invaded Iraq and entirely destabilized the middle east. I don’t even mind the invasion so much as the lying and the entire lack of planning. Donald Rumsfield saying it’s going to cost a few tens of billion.

Historically it’s been war-torn throughout most of history, especially over religion, only settling down when ruled by an empire, and most of the territorial disputes today can be laid at the feet of the British. But sure, blame the US, which has mostly focused on anti-communism, preservation of Israel, and…

No, he was being an ass.

*WHOOSH*

It’s the same sort of noise you’d hear from either a bunch of small desert creatures eking out a new home under your basement

Uh, what does that have to do with anything?

Tsk tsk, those dumb russkies. They should stick to drinking wodka and squating, amirite?

It’s like there should be a “Sponsored by SVP-24" disclaimer in front of some of these posts.

I agree about the MANPAD threat.

Russia can literally have all the oil it wants. Everyone is running out of room to store it, and Russia is already bleeding itself dry trying to sell what they’re pumping.

“SVP stands for “специализированная вычислительная подсистема””

Yes shooting down a plane with a MANPAD would make soo much more of a statement than flying 2 aircraft into the Twin Towers, 1 into the Pentagon and attempt to crash 1 into the White House.

Pure unsourced bullshit from a deranged old guy.

Huh? When has al Qa’ida used a MANPAD in an attack?

Not really. America gets most of its oil from Canada, and we’ve made ridiculous gains in developing domestic oil sources. Saudi oil represents less than 10% of the imported oil per year and it’s falling as the price of oil keeps tanking.

The whole idea sounds silly, but if we give these FOX doofuses credit then your answer is Iran. The idea of a new Persian empire is not a joke*. The extended Saud clan can surely imagine several scenarios where the only thing keeping their oil patch out of Persian hands is the threat of nuclear brimstone. Of course…

Who are the Saudis going to use them on? Really those are just expensive toys.

Rofl... Saudi Arabia, one that’s dropping cluster bombs on Yemen, is going to “help” “unimaginable civilian tragedy”?

The hole in your logic is that you assume that when one side or the other gets the upper hand the “civilian” tragedy will cease.

Starred for “fucking Dodgers.”
