Republicans reverse engineer almost every action they take- we should not be selling anything to Saudi Arabia

But the orb loving GOP cares more for $+ aligning with the world’s dictators than human life or morals

Flashback: nuclear power project- I don’t think GOP gave up on this even after Flynn’s indictment

“Flynn +Trump backed the plan 4...US, Russian +French firms to build +op 45 nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia +other Arab countries”
theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…

“Why is the Trump administration so eager to provide nuclear technology to such a questionable partner?”

thebulletin.org/2019/04/the-tr…

“Brookfield Biz Partners is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc..reached a deal in Aug. 2018 w the Kushner family’s real estate co. to lease...highly unprofitable...666 Fifth Avenue”

Brookfield just happens to be in the nuclear power plant biz

Trump admin seems hellbent on giving Saudi Arabia nuclear power capabilities

“U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry has approved six secret authorizations by companies to sell nuclear power technology and assistance to Saudi Arabia”
reuters.com/article/us-usa…

We need not speculate on Saudi Arabia’s intent- if they are given nuclear power tech and/or sold nuclear power plants- they will develop nuclear weapons- they’ve said so themselves, many times

So why would US want a nuclear SA?

1 “enemy” in common: Iran

“US sending more munitions 2 SA+UAE likely won’t do much to tip the...fight but cld imperil the lives of millions...in Yemen already suffering from wounds, famine,+disease”

I don’t want my tax $ contributing to such a horirble AUTHENTIC humanitarian crisis

“Trump admin is manufacturing an emergency to push thru the sale of deadly weapons to SA+UAE,” Scott Paul, a Yemen expert “Once again, the Trump admin is demonstrating that it values profit +its Gulf allies over resolving the 🌎’s largest humanitarian crisis”

GOP believe they can create any reality they want- inc. national emergencies (southern border)+ major wars (Iran) for whatever nefarious reasons they hold because their base believes any god dang thing they say+conts 2 support +vote 4 them

Majority 🇺🇸 knows the GOP creates fake crisis- nationally+ internationally-but the brazen way they do it by blatantly lying, shamelessly, to the American people, knowing it’s all fake is still astounding

Be proud we belong to “reality based community” even if GOP thinks that 🌎 doesn’t exist any longer- mocking us who dig in to find truth+insist it’s respected esp by elected pols

In the end truth always wins but how long do we have to wait until it triumphs?

We’re watching as they create a confrontation w Iran. ANOTHER fake crisis that’ll allow more service members 2 die, b maimed, emotionally +physically abused thru duty+ thousands of innocents 2 bcome collateral damage bc Kushner owes Brookfield a deal?

Halliburton, Cheney’s co., made over $36 billion off Iraq war while serving as VP. This should nvr happened +it def shouldn’t be repeated

Why does GOP allow Kushner+other trump allies 2 have such clout 2 push 🇺🇸 n2 another unnecessary war..yes I do: $$$

Watching this whole thing unfold-seeing trump admin+GOP allow a brutal aggressive ideologically twisted regime as Saudi Arabia to acquire nuclear weapons while 🇺🇸 ramps up created war w Iran is maddening+it’s being done in our name w our tax $
