    Saudi sponsored terror

    Anyone see the TV programme about how some Saudi Royals are sponsoring terrorism round the world by setting up mosques promoting radical Sunni Muslim thinking and funding weapons made in Bulgaria. It starts with the black flag flying in Bosnia, includes the Twin Towers, and Al Quaida, Yemen, India and more. Truckloads of cash crossing borders along with truckloads of weapons. A new Saudi Prince has vowed to stop this but privately others keep the funds going.

    All done with the complicity of MNC's and right wing governments who value corporate profits above people.

    It’s more a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia with US supporting Saudi and Russia and China supporting Iran.

    From Wiki
    The Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy conflict (sometimes referred to as the Iran–Saudi Arabia Cold War[57] or the Middle East Cold War)[58] is the ongoing struggle for influence in the Middle East and surrounding regions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.[59] The two countries have provided varying degrees of support to opposing sides in nearby conflicts, including the civil wars in Syria,[60][61][62] Yemen,[63][64] and Iraq.[65] The rivalry also extends to disputes in Bahrain,[66] Lebanon,[67] Qatar,[68] Pakistan,[69][70] Afghanistan,[71][72] and Nigeria,[73][74] as well as broader competition in North Africa,[75] parts of South Asia,[76] and Central Asia.

    In the UK we have known about the problems around Wahhabi Islam mosques for a long time.

    But the Government has turned a blind eye for fear of losing lucrative trade deals with Saudi Arabia.

    This needs sorting out.

    The Saudi government decided to act once IS started to attack Saudi targets. There is now the death penalty for funding terrorism but will they ever use it. Qatar are bedfellows as one Muslim wants to fight another.

    From the New York Times,

    SEOUL, South Korea — President Moon Jae-in of South Korea warned on Wednesday that North Korea would face stiffer sanctions if it resumed weapons tests, while crediting President Trump with helping force the North to resume dialogue and strike a broader agreement to improve Korean ties.
    “I am giving a lot of credit to President Trump,” Mr. Moon said at a nationally televised news conference a day after the two Koreas forged their agreement during border talks. “I am expressing my gratitude.”


    Well, well, well, it seems the Donald has done in one year what Obama couldn't do in eight.

    Oh incidentally, that war in the Middle East. You know the one that lefties were foaming at the mouth about, the one that Trump was going to start by moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Has it started yet ?
