Trump Designates Khashoggi-Killer Ally, Sells F-35s
President Trump has designated Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally, promising increased military cooperation and the sale of F-35 fighter jets, a privilege previously reserved solely for Israel in the region. This move follows Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's (MBS) pledge to funnel an additional $400 billion into U.S. investments, boosting the total to $1 trillion. Recall, it was the U.S. which
alleged MBS was responsible for the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a fact Trump dismissed with 'a lot of people didn't like' him. So, the 'highest interest of peace,' as Trump put it, apparently means showering weapons and advanced tech on a nation known for suppressing dissent and waging a devastating war in Yemen , all for another trillion dollars. One might wonder, how many F-35s
does it take to launder an international reputation?
