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 Wrote185One 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 Wall26Jesus Christ this is what the whole Flynn / Russia / back channel / collusion / Egypt loan was all about. This is insane.
LefseLutefisk24Never 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.
📌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.
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.social8Jared 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?
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?
L’Etat C’est Moi4Sweet heaven above, a nuclear Saudi? Children, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I voted for her.
Official People's Party USA ♿ 🍽️ 💰(Jim Engel) 👽✌️🐐4I think he already sold them the intel for all of it.
Daily Brief: Trump Threatens Iranian Infrastructure as US Signs Saudi Nuclear Pact www.onestnetwork.com/daily-brief-...
Olga Nesterova57Please 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 Ghost148So 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
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
Feathered Stone4Fuck 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
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
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?
Lefty Lucy5Why would we want anyone else to have nukes? Shouldn't we be trying to eliminate them globally?!
Astro Cat5How does a president unilaterally make a decision like that? Seems illegal.
gcm5.bsky.social4Why are the Saudis who funded 9/11 and MBS, killer of Khashoggi, receiving approval for nuclear weapon production? Anyone ask the 9/11 families?
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 🇨🇦3Full 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.)
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…
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.social15Good 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
Emily1Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
jim-selover.bsky.social1So the next 9/11 can include a dirty bomb component? Freaking Wonderful. 🙄
@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....
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)13For 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.social1This will only accelerate Iran’s nuclear program.
Bright Bart1Somewhere Bibi is screaming into the abyss.
