“Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) called President Trump twice Thursday, urging him to launch strikes against the Houthis as the Iran-backed group closed in on a vital Red Sea chokepoint,” Axios reported, citing two U.S. officials. “Trump declined, and U.S. officials stressed the administration has no plans to intervene directly against the Houthis for now.”

Is this the moment the Saudis have to finally admit to themselves that Trump isn’t just a power obsessed narcissist lost in his delusions who has kicked all the adults out of the room, he actually genuinely has no clue how to string ideas together into coherent thoughts and will undermine literally everything for zero reason?

      US army reached its logistics limits, they can’t patrol the straight of Hormuz and Bab all Mandeeb. Especially with the low ammo levels.

        Change his tune as in accepting the public humiliation of accepting Iran’s peace terms. That is his only option for making this go away.

      🤣 Too late! The Saudis have funneled many billions into the Trump family pockets already. Rule number one in the game of grifts: no refunds.

      The best part is, they will probably offer the Trump cartel even more money! 😆
