Trump on Iran

[Smitty-48]

None the less, there are limits to how much assistance the House of Saud would consider, and that would be well in excess of those limits.

Wouldn't even come to the Israelis asking, even asking would imperil what arms length cooperation they have with the Saudis now, and the Americans would be more than willing to tank the Israelis around the long way anyways, so it wouldn't even be needed.

Trump will give Bibi his tankers, in a heartbeat, no doubt he has already made arrangements.

In fact, the whole point of the GOP ripping up the deal, would be to make way for an Israeli strike, it's the Israelis who are making that happen, so they can strike, and American assistance is a given.

The whole rip the deal up so Israel can have its rubric to strike, is a joint GOP-Likud operation.

[Speaker to Animals]

Fuel, airspace, and no public acknowledgment that assistance was rendered. That's all the IDF needs, really.

[Smitty-48]

And they are going get all that from the Americans, without crossing Saudi airspace, never mind landing in Saudi Arabia.

[Smitty-48]

They'll go south from Negev, tank with the Americans over the Arabian Sea, back up through American controlled airspace in the Gulf, tank again with the Americans before they go feet dry, then come back the same way in the other direction.

[Smitty-48]

Also bear in mind, aside from the Saudis not daring/risking to allow the Israelis to strike from Saudi Arabia, there's no way in hell the IDF would ever put the fate of an operation in the hands of the Saudis, not in a million years, they have no idea what the Saudis might do if they landed their jets in Saudi Arabia, they would never do that, even if the Saudis offered.

In fact, if the Saudis offered, that would set alarms off with the Israelis, oh sure, we land our jets, and then you hold them for the worlds media to see, Saudi heroes of the Islamic world, catching the Israelis in a trap of their own making.

Not. gonna. happen. If it comes to pass, it will be Trump-Netanyahu operation all the way, no Mooslambs in the loop whatsoever.

[Hastur]

Benjamin Netanyahu chimes in.

[DrYouth]

Benjamin Netanyahu chimes in.

[facepalm]

That will help them a lot in denying the accusations that they are agents of Israel.

Troll level: 7-ish.

[DrYouth]

I'm curious what the Hebrew texts are that are lined up behind him.

Hebrew translations of the Hardy Boys series perhaps.

[Speaker to Animals]

Looks like an encyclopedia.
