Good evening! Why is the sale of $110 Billion dollars worth of military industrial weapons to Saudi Arabia, an important deal for Trump? Is it for bragging rights, so Trump can make an international exhibition of his brinkmanship, including this exposition of his global deal making abilities? Or something else?
Why wasn't Pres. Obama's previous sale of $115 Billion dollars in arms/weapons to the Saudi's enough, back in Sept 2016? Why are more arms/weapons necessary for the Saudi's to obtain now? Jeffrey Prescott, a senior director on Pres. Obama's National Security Council said something seriously worth considering. He said, "We had been trying to use the leverage we had, to get the Saudi's and the Emirati's to the table to negotiate." Mr. Prescott added, "One of the things to look at, is whether we are getting into someone else's conflict?"
The Israeli's are nervous and wary of this deal, because of Trump sharing classified Israeli's intelligence to the Russian's. This revelation is not "bigly" surprising. It would be safe to assume they may never trust America's White House again.
When Trump attends the NATO summit meeting in Brussels, will he spend his time regaling the 28 independent member countries, with his tales of unparalleled, "bigly" success in the Saudi arms/weapons deal? Will Trump voice support for the continued existence of the 1949 NATO Alliance or argue for it's total dismantling and perhaps, a modern reconstruction? Will Pres. Trump have been tutored and forearmed with enough knowledge, about the NATO Alliance and it's member countries to even be able to intelligently participate with them in discussions? Will his uncouth manners, oafishly insult any of them, as has been his past characteristic behavior? Dear G-d, forbid!
The story of Cinderella going to the Ball, reminds me somewhat, of Trump attending the NATO Conference in Brussels. Trump will be in attendance with many well-respected and influential delegates, in the circle of the stylish and sophisticated upper echelons of the diplomatic societal representatives of NATO. However, I can imagine Trump sharing the personification of Cinderella's sisters, in the uncouth, loutish way, he might try to ingratiate himself. As with Cinderella's sisters being spurned by the Prince hosting the ball, Trump's braggadocio temperament could be thwarted with rejection/ejection from the ball. It would be an unfortunate disaster for America, if Trump acts unadvisedly, unleashing his unsophisticated troglodyte-like behavior, at this ball.
The last thing our country needs is an ungracious reputation attributed to her and more enemies against her. Somebody at the White House ought to tell Donald, just like a mother would do, when her child leaves the house to go alone to his first important and quasi-mature, social event..."Remember... have a good time, but behave yourself."
"Good Night...Sweet Dreams" and "Boner Appertite!"
