The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Start with the NRA members....go to the Middle East and defend Israel. Use all the AK47s you like.

Seems that, in spite of the Billions the Saudis have spent on fancy USian weapons, they have spent a decade or more fighting the Houthis, without a positive result. Now that their MONEY is threatened, they want the US to fight that war for them.

Scoop: MBS urged Trump to strike Houthis amid Red Sea threat

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) called President Trump twice Thursday, urging him to launch strikes against the Houthis as the Iran-backed group closed in on a vital Red Sea chokepoint, two U.S. officials told Axios.

Trump declined, and U.S. officials stressed the administration has no plans to intervene directly against the Houthis for now.

Seems the US is too busy taking a whuppin being Israel's whore, to be Saudi's whore too.
