    So you cause billions of dollars in damages, crash economies, cause thousands of deaths and… Nobody asked for this, nobody wanted this and…

    Now you want money for it to continue, or even more money for it to stop?

    Today we are talking about certain leaks in which the American president is demanding that the GCC states pay approximately $5 trillion if they want this war to continue, and if they want it to stop, they must pay $2.5 trillion to the United States for what has been accomplished over the past period,” Jahouri stressed.

    OMG he might be the first president to unite all of the Arab countries. Peace prize wen?

    There’s a good chance that he is only demanding a bribe for peace. If they do not agree, colour revolutions will be made against them, and perhaps Iran will have more influence over them, unless they pay US for peace that preserves their monarchies. The war costs are the destruction of their country.

    This is the only coherence to report.

    Surely this leopard will not eat my face. When will people learn, hell always, always, betray you eventually, unless you have the tapes.

    A ransom? They’re getting attacked anyway over a war they didn’t start. At this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if they invited Dipshit here to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul and smoothed things over locally themselves.

      Saudi Consulate in Istanbul … smoothed things over locally themselves.

      With a roller-compactor right?

        Clearly no one is responsible enough to hold the “Holy Land” by themselves, and the God of Abraham lets each religion come and take it over and lose it all the time, so no one is actually the favorite. “Ohh, you’re my favorite- NOW SUFFER!!!” WTF kind of abusive relationship is this?

        I suggest we take the King Solomon route and wall off Jerusalem and say no one can go there until everyone sorts out their differences and play nice with each other. Maybe if we’re lucky, in 20,000 generations people will forget what was there, since that will happen before religious nuts cooperate on anything.
