    I kinda get it. We own it, Saudi's would likely build on it, we along with Israel would likely defend it, but it would be attacked repeatedly and often. Each attack would expand the "protection boundary" who will fund that each time?

    I understand his vision on it, just cannot fathom the cost, especially after his term ends, who maintains it?

    looks like you don't like reading excerpts from US Government policy papers / articles from US Govt websites & US news media.

    ah the old "if we don't fight them over there" line eh?
    did it work in the failed wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine?
    i presume you are linking it to 9/11 and the alledged hijackers - mostly from Saudi Arabia weren't they where there was alledged Saudi involvement
    and yet the Kingdom of Saud remained untouched
    cheap oil is more important eh?

    CIA Offers Buyout to ENTIRE Workforce ...
    https://thelibertydaily.com/cia-offers-buyout-entire-workforce/

    The Central Intelligence Agency has offered buyouts to its entire workforce, aiming to align the agency with the priorities of President Donald Trump, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. This move is part of a broader strategy by the Trump administration to reshape the U.S. government by reducing bureaucracy and installing personnel more aligned with its policies.

    Too many embedded swamp things for that to work, why? Because there's enough dark money to make the "pain" of staying to be disruptive, too profitable.

    I can't muster up the energy to be outraged about military actions, I can't vote for or against that.

    Bureaucratic "kings" wielding powers outside the spirit of the Constitution. Remove. Never replace.

    FBI had 26 undercover agents on the ground during Jan 6th, many of which committed illegal acts along with the idiots.

    The Dems allowed this to happen to gain public sentiment for a generation. This could have been suppressed so easily. Hell I could have commanded that scene as a lowly patrol Sgt if you gave me the resources. Imagine what a more intelligent and seasoned commander could have done?

    Can you share a link to valid evidence of your claims? Your well seasoned commander in chief was commanding from the ellipse? no?
