      True, but $50 billion wouldn’t break the bank for the Saudis. Moreover, Trump’s recent actions show that he doesn’t really care about anything more than 15 minutes in the future.

          How many private airplanes and yachts do the princes have?

          They could cut down to seventeen harems each and still have enough to pay off Trump.

          It wouldn’t have to be a lump sum either.

          Stock market manipulation or a similar scam would put the same amount in his pocket.

              People keep talking about the American Empire falling.

              Be careful what you wish for.

              When the USSR fell there was a decade of genocide in Europe, followed by kleptocracy that makes the old KGB look sedate.

              The US Navy has about a dozen nuclear aircraft carriers and three times as many nuclear subs.
