This is going to turn into another bad decision
No input from Congress
But sending troops to SA and UAE to protect their oil in a religious war

Despite all the weapons sold to the Saudis they are still incompetent to defend themselves

Which goes to show how silly a notion it is to say that Israel is our best ally in the region.

When's the last time we sent them some troops to protect against the regular rocket attacks there?

But Saudi Arabia wants some protection? There in a heartbeat.

Why do we need allies like SA and Israel when we have to put our military at risk, we always hear about the billions of dollars in aide and how powerful they are particularly Israel. Then we have a real opportunity to for them to show their stuff and we are sending our troops to the ME, why do we need them.

Well, look at it this way, if we don't go help them......do you want someone else to go help them, like China or Russia, and be their new best friends?

Why do they need help, there was one strike against SA oil fields this wasn't an invasion. By the way, isn't this what Trumps handlers wanted, I thought they indicated more sanctions would bring them to their knees but now we need to send military personnel. Big mistake by this administration.

Why can't the Saudis protect their own damn selves? The Saudi royal family has all sorts of money. They don't even know what to do with all their wealth. Why in the name of God does the US have to send its own troops over there in order to protect the country that brought us 9/11? Whatever happened to "America First"? Trump is such a damned liar. Now he has made our military a mercenary army which serves at the whim of a foreign king. Didn't we fight the Revolutionary War against a foreign king?

I hope the entire Trump family rots in hell.
