There goes the Saudi oil deal

Donald Trump has just blown up his goal of isolating Iran
General Jonathan Shaw, former commander of UK forces in Iraq, put it well: Iran’s objectives are political, not military. Their aim is not to destroy any American air base, but to drive a wedge between the US and its Arab allies — and the Soleimani assassination has achieved more to this end than anything that could have been cooked up in Tehran. The Sunnis are standing down and the US and Israel now once again face being without real friends in the region. When push came to shove, all Kushner’s efforts amounted to nothing. How elated the Iranians must be, even in the midst of such a setback.
The royal audis already  surrendered to Iran, evidently.

Have no fear, Jared and the dufas repubs will start another Saudi oil deal, and that too will fail.   Our supply of stupid repubs i never ending.
