Amb. Burns: Saudi crown prince handshake with Putin 'signaling on both parts'

I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT RON. They are both signaling your dumb ass with a MUTUAL middle finger.

What do they have in common Steve? They both had Journalist KILLED or the main supporter of the MBS, is Putin. Putin ensured MBS, no matter what Trump do, I got your back. We have a relationship. That was a BRO handshake between MBS and Putin, which may signal to a compromised U.S. President their power over energy as well.

Steve, you are partly right about that middle finger but it is much larger then just me Steve, They are both signaling to Trump, you and the American people you dumb ass with a MUTUAL middle finger.

Take your head out of your ass and you can see what is happening too.

You've got quite an imagination Ron, or at least you've been taken in by someone that does.

Those are the FACTS, which you have not REFUTED yet Steve. WOW!!!

You have provided NO FACTS Ron. NONE. You have provided nothing but fevered speculation, as USUAL.

You saw that handshake, did that handshake look like something a stranger would give to another Steve?

They aren't strangers Ron. What are you thinking?

YOUR WORDS: They aren't strangers Ron. What are you thinking?

MY REPLY: Both of these men have one thing in common, "TRUMP."

Trump has sided with both of these men against The United States of America's information gathering Agencies, WHY? GOT IT!!!



We will find out more come Jan 03 2019 in The Republicans lose it's power to protect Trump from investigations, wouldn't you be happy?

Those leaders have something in common besides being world leaders like Trump. They are both reviled by YOU Ron.

It is something about MURDER that I reviled Stevie, how about you?

About me, I believe you are an "ugly American" Ron.

Stay on topic Steve Putin and Saudi crown prince, don't know me Sorry Steve. Try again. I am making a comment to your statement. "It is something about MURDER that I reviled Stevie, how about you?"

then you came up with this BULL💩 "About me, I believe you are an "ugly American" Ron." What about MURDER?

That's what makes you AN UGLY AMERICAN Ron. You have no respect for Russia and Saudi Arabia, you think you know all about them, you are duluded by your imagined morality that you are superior to them, AND you have ABSOLUTELY NO self awareness.

So you support Putin's murdering his political enemies and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi? Now you want to label me as The Ugly American, WHY STEVE? Is it because I dare to open up a blog on the subject for discussion? That is very interesting.

What do you mean by this term "UGLY AMERICAN?"

The Ugly Americans are how much of the world sees us Ron. You are happy to live up to their opinion of us, I am not. You know nothing of Russia, Putin, Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. But in your ignorance you imagine you do.

Steve, the idea of The Ugly American is a book that I read early in my life. The Ugly American was a bestseller and had an impact on the politics of the day, being read reportedly by President Dwight Eisenhower and many U.S. senators. It helped to create an atmosphere in which the United States reaffirmed and reshaped its commitment to defending freedom against communism.

The Ugly American, by William J. Lederer and Eugene Bur****, was published in 1958. Set for the most part in the fictional Southeast Asian country of Sarkhan, with excursions to Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Burma, the novel takes place in the 1950s, during the cold war, when the United States and the Soviet Union struggled for supremacy across the globe. Sarkhan is presented as a country of about 18 to 20 million people with a rather shaky government that fears a possible coup attempt by the communists, who are powerful and well-organized.

Sarkhan tries to stay independent of the two superpowers and as a result receives aid from both. But too often, as the authors make clear in this fictional story that they claim is based on fact, U.S. aid does not meet the needs of the local people. Moreover, the American diplomats who serve in Sarkhan and throughout Southeast Asia do not for the most part have any knowledge of the country's language or culture, so they are not effective in winning the people to their side. By contrast, Russian diplomats are well trained. The authors fear that unless the United States adopts a different strategy and trains its foreign service personnel better, it may end up losing the cold war.

This is what The Ugly American was all about.

And aren't you glad the Cold War has been over for 30 years?

I am glad when any war is over Steve. I don't want to see any wars no matter where in the world it is.
