U.S. signs civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia
THREAD: Join me on a trip down memory lane given the news that Trump has inked a nuclear deal with the Saudis (in the middle of a war he started to end nuclear proliferation in the Middle East.) Who remembers The Middle East Marshall Plan from Trump 1.0? 1/ www.wsj.com/world/middle...
Mueller, She Wrote200One of Mike Flynn's goals with Trump as president in 2016 was to build nuclear reactors in Saudi Arabia and have Eric Prince supply private armies to guard them in an effort to "re-colonize the Middle East. It was called the Middle East Marshall Plan. 2/
jakegr.bsky.social32Most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, and the Saudis killed and dismembered a WAPO reporter, but hey - they said something nice to Trump.
Free Agent Fly On The Wall27Jesus Christ this is what the whole Flynn / Russia / back channel / collusion / Egypt loan was all about. This is insane.
LefseLutefisk25Never Forget 09/11/2001. MBS’s half brother orchestrated the attack. Imagine if the Saudi Royal Family had nukes that day instead of our commercial airplanes? This is beyond shameful, it is treason against the people of The United States of America! How is this not the day’s headline?
Feathered Stone13So in a partnership with the people that hit us 911 got it👍👍👍 I’m sorry I still remember how it smelled on 9/11 I still remember watching people jump out of a fucking building rather than be burned to death but OK I guess never forget turned into never mind.
Duane12Saudis give me money. Ok for nukes. Iran doesn’t give me money. Not ok for nukes. American foreign policy in a nutshell.
This is nuts Anyone taking bets on whether Jared Kushner profits from this Saudi nuclear deal? WHAT SHOULD CONCERN US ALL Saudi Arabia could enrich uranium on its own soil under weaker safeguards, and they’ve already said if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, they’ll build one too. What could go wrong?
captnmike2.bsky.social9Jared and Dementia Donnie have been bought off by the Saudi's years ago, remember among other things the BILLION+ investment in Jared's "investment" fund when he was deemed unqualified?
L’Etat C’est Moi7Sweet heaven above, a nuclear Saudi? Children, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I voted for her.
Deborah302.blocks6These are the 9/11 terrorists !!!
LGRooney5Mike Flynn will get a HUGE windfall, depending on details, since he was working on a deal to bring Russian nuclear tech to Saudi Arabia a decade or so ago.
ramonalogsdon.bsky.social5Trump loves those who hate America the most. How do MAGA justify supporting him?
Official People's Party USA ♿ 🍽️ 💰(Jim Engel) 👽✌️🐐4I think he already sold them the intel for all of it.
📌Trump just signed a nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia that could lead to enriching its own fuel for nuclear reactors. REMINDER: 15 of the 19 attackers on 9/11 were Saudi nationals. This SOB will take a bribe from literally ANYBODY.
Feathered Stone4Oh cool I guess we’re now partners with the people who hit us on 911 got it OK it’s not like I remember how it smelled that day. It’s not like I remember watching people jump out of a building rather than fucking burn to death I guess never forget has turned into never mind.
Ramona3I remember when we had checks and balances. Trump is making our country unsafe and the GOP is letting it happen. How do they live with themselves? Oh, that’s right. It’s easy because they don’t care about our country or the people in it.
puglove888.bsky.social3Doesn't shit like this need congressional approval?
Freestatefemale2That is the only question. How much was he paid?
Joelene (Mom of 4 dogs )📎2He is the worst person to walk the face of the earth. Stealing our money and selling our secrets.
The Book Prof 🇺🇦2After the WTC towers collapsed, Trump went on radio shows to brag that his bldg was now the tallest in NYC; he was too busy to notice who was responsible for the destruction!
CNN: “President Trump has approved a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that could lead to the kingdom enriching its own fuel for civilian reactors without adopting the “gold standard” of international oversight, according to two US officials and a source familiar with the matter.” What could go wrong?
jungkafka.bsky.social5and Congress has nothing to say....
massholio.bsky.social4Absolutely incomprehensible. How is this in US interest?
Seafodder4The next 9/11 carried out by Saudi extremists will have radioactive fallout.
elaine2my . . sarcasm must be unleashed . . . . . . i just *love* that this turd of a pretend president took a gift from the country that funded 911, and i love even more that he is making deals with the country that provided the majority of the terrorists who coordinated 911 . . ah . . good times
Robert Graves2What was Trump’s kickback I wonder?
sunbirdie.bsky.social2and what is it the U.S. presumably gets in return? These unwritten vague deals are a Trump trademar.
Daily Brief: Trump Threatens Iranian Infrastructure as US Signs Saudi Nuclear Pact www.onestnetwork.com/daily-brief-...
Olga Nesterova58Please read the brief - pls don’t reduce it to a headline 🙏
DarLee3This is the deal that Michael Flynn was trying to make on inauguration day 2017. To simplify it: He was trying to use American plans, Russian parts, and Erik Prince was going to supply security. It was scandalous at the time, but $2B to Kushner finally got it cleared. This is bad.
Solstice 🇨🇦3All they have to do is buy his bitcoin and give him a fake peace prize. Jeezus.
Carter Hall2Remember when Trump said Iran should be allowed ballistic missiles because their neighbors had them & it wouldn't be fair?
twstedtv.bsky.social2The United States is so ass backwards. .
Ms. Trannÿ of Tÿranny 🏳️⚧️1Just in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.... wow.....
Khashoggi's Ghost161So the Saudi Royal Mafia is going to have nukes. What could go wrong?
🌈Super Gay Mom💙2Nothing says "harbinger of peace" more than giving nukes to a absolute monarchy that financed the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack resulting in 2,977 deaths — the single largest loss of life from a foreign attack on U.S. soil. youtu.be/GaQyWsuv72I #resist
The agreement gives American companies priority access to nuclear reactors and fuel to Saudi Arabia. It's expected to last decades and be worth billions of dollars. n.pr/4bHQPPp
Feathered Stone5Fuck all of you how dare you decide to work with the people who hit us on 9/11 I still remember people jumping from building so they wouldn’t burn to death I remember how it smelled I guess never forget has turned into never mind
Reinventing_again™5"Worth billions of dollars." To whom?
mischievous-lingo.bsky.social4Nuclear is expensive. Solar is cheap. Nuclear takes years. Solar can be up and running tomorrow. Nuclear takes constant maintenance. You have to clean Solar. Nuclear take a team of 20 (?), around the clock. You can graze sheep under a solar array. Saudi Arabia has sunshine aplenty and land fit for
Martin Robertson4for a country where they could have 100% free electricity from the sun
jlchamberlain1863.bsky.social4Super. Let's bomb the crap out of Iran because they want enriched uranium but let's give enriched uranium to the country that produced most of the 9/11 terrorists instead.
Dan Killam4We're supposedly fighting a war to keep Iran from getting nukes while handing nuclear material to Prince Bone Saw
“Is there any reason we should be bombing Iran because they won’t agree to limit their nuclear program while telling Saudi Arabia we give them the green light and they don’t even have to agree to these additional inspections?” Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) asked at the hearing, The Guardian reported.
smilergrogan.bsky.social315 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia!! What could go wrong??
W.M.3How much do you think Trump and family are getting for helping establish Saudi nuclear program?
Celia Swoboda2None of Trumps attempts TO SHOCK us with his garbage work anymore. These are all attempts to change the Epstein files and the fact that he RAPED little boys and girls, tortured, witnessed and very probably partook of mutilation and murder of the victims. Crimes Against Humanity trial awaits him.
Frances Larina1Who knew the President could just give away state secrets like that. And remember, it's not a bribe according to the US Supreme Court unless both parties explicitly call it a bribe beforehand!
J.Baker1In a surprising turn of events, DJT has signed a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. This move raises eyebrows, especially after his collaboration with Israel in the Iranian conflict. As we navigate uncertain waters, we must ask: Are our leaders putting the country's interests before their own agendas?
Geek Grammy1Yeah. They're giving Trump and his cronies money. Trump will do anything for money. Hell, promise him that you'd cover the White House in gold leaf and he'd probably get down and kiss your feet.
The headline leaves much unsaid. Yes, Trump is giving Saudi Arabia (almost certainly for suitable enormous considerations) the ability to enrich uranium. An more honest headline, and story, would state that the deal could pave the way for a nuclear-armed Saudi Arabia. 1/3
Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)23For decades, US (and international policy) has been that countries wishing to operate civilian nuclear power plants do not need enrichment capability since there is a glut of reactor-grade uranium available on world markets. The US even worked with the IAEA on an international LEU repository. 2/3
independent56.bsky.social2This will only accelerate Iran’s nuclear program.
Bright Bart1Somewhere Bibi is screaming into the abyss.
Matthew Downhour 17We had so much fun with the India Pakistan war last year we’d like to create more of those scenarios
スコット2My inner cynic says there’s a newly opened off-shore bank account, probably in the Middle East in the name of a shell company, with a fresh nine-digit cash deposit.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia that will allow the country to obtain American nuclear technology, loosening standards for a close ally.
Jon22Iran: can never have a nuclear weapon Saudi Arabia: we know you financed 9/11 but you can have nuclear weapons WTAF?
Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦10Giving the kingdom where most of the 9/11 terrorist came from and whose leader had a Washington Post reporter murdered and dismembered nuclear enrichment capability. What could possibly go wrong?
bonacker.bsky.social5Why does he get to decide?
Wendy5He is stripping down the country and selling it off for parts. JFC 🤬
Grizzled Shopkeep5Guys, it's the shortest connect the dots in history.
Lefty Lucy5Why would we want anyone else to have nukes? Shouldn't we be trying to eliminate them globally?!
KMJeezy14This is the country that bankrolled 9/11.
bleary5I strongly believe that Trump's legacy will be "the man who ended nuclear non-proliferation". The rest will be quickly forgotten; this will really change the world.
Marwood3Two serial human rights abusers signing an agreement on nuclear tech. What could possibly go wrong.
Agreements with the US are not worth the paper they're printed on. The Paris Agreement, Iran nuclear deal, CUSMA, the Gordie Howe bridge deal — a signature from a US president is literally less binding now than a thumbs up emoji.
Ken Wood part owner of 🇨🇦4Full truth @cnn.com @schiff.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov #uspoli #cdnpoli
Joel Klebanoff 🇨🇦3Exactly this👇🏻. Any world leader who signs a deal with the United States under Tr*mp and imagines for one second that he'll honor it if it turns the least bit unfavourable for him, or if he thinks he can use the threat of breaking it as leverage, is a fool. (Disclosure: I'm Canadian.)
Breaking news: The Trump administration signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia that gives the country a pathway to enrich nuclear fuel and commits it to using U.S. firms to supply its reactors. Congress has 90 days to act on the deal.
njars.bsky.social16Good think nobody from Saudi Arabia has ever attacked the US. Oh, wait...
erikalynne4Not a good deal for America especially as a super power. Good deal for trump the treasoning thief, though.
Green Hombre3Is this what MAGA voted for?
HiFiBriTheLofoMofo3Yeah this should really help defuse regional tensions
jim-selover.bsky.social2So the next 9/11 can include a dirty bomb component? Freaking Wonderful. 🙄
Emily1Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
@GottaLaff15Every time I read this headline, I smack my forehead. So many things are wrong with so many things. And MAGA/Trump are the reason.
Justin Timbercake8Imagine seeing this headline 20 years ago. And just in case anyone forgot ("Never Forget"), fifteen of the nineteen hijackers responsible for the September 11th attacks were Saudi nationals. Now they will have the means to produce nuclear weapons.
Eugene Freedman7There is no bottom. He just keeps doing worse and worse things. In total, I wonder how much money the House of Saud has given to the House of Trump.
Hector de Lama4¿Qué puede salir mal? ¿QUÉ PUEDE SALIR MAL?
julie khaner2look, you can't expect the 80 yr old degenerate dunce to remember 9/11 it's not like he's a New Yorker or anything....
US announces nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia that could enable kingdom to enrich uranium – US politics live
Michael1615 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis None of them were from Iran
~Art+Rage~10sure why not, it's not like anyone from SA was involved in 9/11 or anything
Expatriot7Great idea, that'll come in super handy next time they decide to attack america
Chris⚖️Justice6The CIA concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul (2018). No Justice
Baseline Cranky4The country that brought us 9-11 gets nukes. Ok
Mihai Alevra3what could possibly go wrong…
