So the "national interests" must be observed. Billions of dollars in profits for Big Business must be considered. Iran, Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen must be blamed. And Saudi Arabia must be protected because they lead the fight against global terrorism coming from the Wahhabists and Salafists who come from... Saudi Arabia.
And oh yeah... Israel, Israel, Israel and... Israel.
Thus are the reasons your president gave for not launching a nuclear attack on the kingdom of Saudi Arabia yesterday at the behest of the CIA and their sponsors at Lockheed Martin.
The senators from Lockheed Martin didn't think that was good enough and they sent yet another letter to the president (through the Washington Post of course) demanding we put MORE SANCTIONS on YET ANOTHER NATION on behalf of our glorious NATIONAL INTERESTS.
The way this works out is this: the senators with Lockheed Martin cash floating their retirement plans want the Duke of Orange to deny Saudi Arabia the sale of the rest of the 100 billion dollars worth of merchant of death equipment if they don't make good on the 15 billion dollar purchase promise they made to Lockheed Martin.
That's like the guy at the dealership saying you GOT to take the EXTRA CAMERAS package that you don't want on your new hybrid POS car and if you don't you can just HIT THE BRICKS.
That's some real thug life shit right there from these congress critters. Talk about your organized crime.
