Congress approves bill to allow 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia

[Rukarl]

It isn't. This is a stunt, nothing more, as I've maintained from the very beginning.

Stunts for what? You do realise even without this bill passing it still has done great damage? I feel like it is alot more than just a stunt.

 

[The SC]

Yeah, see? I said you wouldn't even read my comment properly, I guess I was right.


Which would have an massive negative impact on both diplomatic relations, as well as lead to economic issues.

Yes and which will set another precedent, an economic and investment one with a lot of nations investing in the US, like China and its Trillions of $ in investments.. Saudis had 750 billion $ in Investments in the US, they have also threatened to take their money and invest it somwhere else , infact, they have started with some 140 billion $ already out of the US, and most of the rest is in US government bonds supporting the US economy!!!!? So they are already almost frozen or to the benefit of the US..this is like saying the US will shoot its own foot..

I am debunking your strange claims that Iraqis for example, cannot sue US and your attempts of countering that is Obama saying this bill will send a precedent

They can't because under the accords to keep US soldiers in Iraq, after the fall of Saddam, they were immune from any prosecution. It is the core reason, one of a few more, that US soldiers didn't remain in Iraq after 2011.

Even now, when US advisers have returned they have been granted immunity in the theater of operations Iraq.

Careful, no one apparently understands what the word "precedent" means.

Jokes aside, this is basically one of the main reasons why the bill will die.

It's election season, I think you can figure it out on your own.

Saudi investment is worth $750Billion, if they start pulling out it will devalue the investment.

The implications of a recession are severe, if the bill is vetoed and goes back to Congress expect an amendment freezing Saudi assets.

I wonder if Pakistanis would take US to court for drone strikes and Salala?

Don't post complicated questions.....and you know the answer....

American do the homework before any "large size statement".

Or what it remains of them, if such be the case of trying to freeze assets of another nation- investor with no proven motives..

Do not misuse negative rating.Do not violate the law.If any of you is not interested to argue than simply ignore.

Behave yourselves

 

[bsruzm]

I also want the families of those who got killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen to have the same right to sue the US

Exactly.

 

[A.P. Richelieu]

I really hope this law is passed so that every one can sue these Saudis and Americans all the way to Sunday.

And India and Pakistan can sue each other endlessy.
No need to discuss on PDF...

There is enough proof against Saudis that is why even Obama is having jitters.

Means its a huge change in US policy for Saudi govt Saudi govt threaten to pull its money from foreign banks, but US ignored Saudi warning.

 

[WaLeEdK2]

Can Libya, Iraq etc. due the US? Considering the fact their countries are drastically worse than they were 15 years ago.
