    “No free speech, no deal. It is as simple as that,”

      Israel is USA, and SA can do whatever the fuck they want as long as they pay up (i.e. produce oil, buy weapons, whatever).

      This is the point of Trump dealing with the UK over the EU. They’re more isolated since Brexit and therefore more easily intimidated.

      Saudi Arabia and Israel both already have the type of freeze peach this fascist desires.

      Putin needs Saudi Arabia to not start an oil price war, which Russia would loose.

      The US support of Israel is making the US less popular around the world.
