    Default POTUS in Saudi Arabia

    ..a key allie in fighting terrorism ( al-Qaeda and Isis have been doing bombing campaigns in eastern SA.)

    It's past time to treat them as the key regional power they are,and stop this "human rights" as driving the relationship

    Forget the Iranian deal. It was a bad mistake, but the damage was to our Sunni allies.
    It go so bad King Salman refused to go to DC..

    Look for Trump and Salman to establish warm personal relations

    another foreign policy reset by Trump..to bad we didn't get Russian, but SA is key in the MIddle East

    President Trump sets out Friday for Saudi Arabia on his first trip abroad since taking office. Ahead of the president's departure, his administration hoped to finalize a weapons sale to the Saudis totaling more than $100 billion.

    If agreed to, the deal would be a boon for U.S. defense contractors. But critics say it also further entangles the U.S. with the war in Yemen.

    We should not ignore human rights issues. That is absurd.

    there were a couple of things. Decentralization of decision making.
    Under Obama many tactical ( not even strategic) decisions had to go back to the WH. (NSC)

    That's gone..Mathis (Pentagon) is the final say, and he's delegated a lot directly to field commanders.

    We are surrounding Raqqa much faster then we thought.

    we are now also restricting "foreign fighters" to maybe a couple hundred per month going thru Turkey.
    Prior was was a couple thousand

    We can encourage, but the SA/US relationship is much too important to restrict it by human rights

    It has not been restricted and should be kept on the burner it is. Not the waaaaay back burner. What kind of moral authority would we have?

    The biggest morale problem were the ROE's. I understand they will be changing soon.

    that i don't know..but you can't run a war's chain of command thru the WHNSC.

    It's ridiculous, there is no way to recreate-refer to events on the ground in real time

    Sitting on a mountain in Afghanistan waiting to hear from the WH if you can kill the enemy is not the way to win a war.

    Yup...gonna "bring them to their knees!"
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    I'm one of the many who are willing to give the POTUS a chance. He's coming through on many of his promises so far. And Mattis is no slouch.

    Yea, rumpf did brag that he would be great @ this military thing, so good, your head will spin.......

    Maybe the next Napoleon or something...........??

    Well, Napoleon was @ least in the military.. Perhaps he could of been great had he gone to prep school & avoided the draft because of a bad foot~one of them, rumpf can't remember which, but it's in the records somewhere~~~~~~~~~~~
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Nations operate in their best interest. period. the end. (realpolitik) and that includes joining an alliance like NATO-
    we do it and Europe does it because it's beneficial. there are no advantages to running a Jimmy Carter foreign policy
