The State Department announced Thursday that it had approved selling more than $1 billion in arms to Saudi Arabia -- including anti-tank missiles.

The announcement comes after Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with President Trump on Tuesday as part of a three-week tour of the U.S.

WASHINGTON—Gently placing his hand on the small of Jared Kushner’s back, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman applied only the gentlest of pressure—no more than a petal falling to the surface of a fountain—and in a voice heavy with anticipation, whispered “You are the jewel of my collection,” thus guiding his frightened new prize toward his harem, royal sources confirmed Thursday.

“Once we reach my palace and you pass through the secret doors of scarlet silk, your former life’s tribulations and entanglements shall fade, and you shall live to serve me and me alone—this I swear to you, most precious and delicate Jared, that you will want for nothing,” said bin Salman, collapsing onto a velvet fainting couch as his concubines adorned the White House senior advisor in sheer yet elegant robes and anointed his skin with rosewater.

“Do not tremble, my doe; my lamb; my delicate bird. The inevitable is nothing to fear, and already your soft features and perfect alabaster skin have set you in a high place among the most cherished of all my playthings. Come to me, so that I may drink deep of the wonder and spectacle that is my Jared Kushner.”

At press time, Kushner, now shirtless and moving as one in a waking dream, had draped himself along a sumptuous bed of pillows and closed his heavy eyes, his mind escaping on the rivulets of gentle music played on an unseen lute.

This is one of the most oddly funny things I've read in a long time.

I love it.

Csnt wait for the whole WW3 scenario to kick off.

We will arm the Saudis and Israel and all the "moderate jihadis" along with our other allies, and Russia and China will arm Iran, Pakistan, etc..

Lines being drawn and it is only matter of time before the fireworks begin.

And to think I read something about a peace deal with palestinians and Israelis .

None of those arms will ever be used against the USA, either

Maybe, just maybe, Trump and Putin are working together to get the Muslims to kill each other off.

That’s some collusion I could get behind.

I don't get hoe people can get outraged about the Iran deal but not have a problem with this, or worse, support it, especially if they're about America First.

You do know this is how almost the entire Muslim population disappears overnight, right?

Many Biblical scholars concur that in one swell swoop, if you believe biblical prophecy, almost the entire muslim population will be gone. Old Testament prophecy and New.

It's time we show our outrage over the 28 pages by saddling them with the burden of weapons of war!

Indeed.

And whether I am here or not it will be a swell day. I dont admire a damn thinf about their culture or how they treat women and the poor. Had two brother spend time in UAE (friend, I know, right) and Jordan. And those are our supposed allies. Yet he said their culture has nothing to do with Americans outside making money and the poor and unfortunate are treated like shite. frick em.
