COAS & Secretary of State simultaneously in Saudia

[Windjammer]

Nobody cares of a bunch of carpenters and Plumbers come back.

Also It does not mean, that US will go to war with Saudi but in fact US-Saudi relations will become like US-Venezuela relations under Bush.

US doesn't need Venezuela as much as it needs KSA.....not just for the loans but maintain influence in the region.

This just looks a Mere Co-Incidence, as President Elect Trump is making his cabinet, & US Govt is in a Transition Phase, this visit just won't make a difference...

KSA would never have the guts to remove US bases as that would lead to regime change and collapse of their western dependent military.

Well I don't any policy changing decision will be taken since that's just the farewell meeting as Obama (Obomination) Administration packs to leave the white house. However the secretary might be interested in availing the opportunity to meet new COAS of Pakistan before he leaves the office.

If Donald decides to writeoff/ignore that loan, Saudi Arabia won't be able to do crap, as the US and the Jews hold them by the neck.

are you smoking crack?

if the americans decide to do anything against the saudi we are going to have oil prices go through the roof and another recession would be on the horizon in the west

Ignore him, he's just posting without logic or comprehension.

US will lose more if KSA-US relations will get affected. So, there isn't going to be any stop in arms delivery, a little delay might be seen.

Saudis bought a complete arms manufacturing line from South Africa..basically US is saying..I wont sell you anymore..please make your own..next we will hear another JV to produce these ammo in KSA itself...

Americans wont do anything against the saudis because the Saudi oil reserves back the US dollar via peg..it will be shooting in self foot.

zionists will offer carrot to pakistan and we will go after it. probably pak military involvement in yemen will be on the table with some riyals and dollars and threats. most likely we will bow down to our gods as we always do. raheel sharif brought some self respect for pak but he is past now.

Kindly ask your economists, if they don't care for 75 billion USD annually..Then it's ok..

Remittances from Saudi Arabia are a mere 0.4% of GDP.

Which is why Trump is building good relations with Russia and selected Russia experienced tillerson, Trump will simply use Russia in case Saudi tries to play its only card which too is weak.
Saudi is now caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The US saying "we can't give you weapons anymore because of Yemen" and that "the President-Elect will impose more strict rules and restrictions on you so be ready and have contingency plans in place". While the Saudis are talking to Pakistan in case of JV's on the JFT and how to align with the Chinese to create another arms tier that won't restrict their military's ability to function.

Nope and Nope.

Is it compulsory for every new army chief to pay visit to Arab king? Is it tradition?

Well US and KSA will improve their relationship, they have to under yet another republican rule. Republicans just love war, their philosophy has always been to treat US as a war economy i.e. an economy that thrives on business and economic activity created by global conflicts. Wait for a year and a half and see trump jumping into Yamen and Syria more openly than Obama. Middle eastern markets for weapons is 100s of billion dollars strong, soon LM, Rythone, Boeing and name it will start raising the alarm bells that The business that used to be ours, is going to Europeans and will make trump go the way a of a typical Republican president.You can't change the animal instinct.
