Because we don’t like Iran and the Houthis.

Of more importance, what % of the unbilled services is getting kicked back to Trumpco by the SLC, you know, in gratitude for the (allegedly) inadvertant sloppy bookwork?

What we should be charging is the people responsible for getting and keeping the US involved with this illegal war and subsequent humanitarian crisis. With murder and war crimes…

Yeah, that avgas just “happened” to fall off the truck and then Mo Bone Saws just “happened” to book sprees at Trump properties and also “happened” to pay for 500 all expenses paid vacations at Trump hotel just down the street from WH. Nothing to see here, it’s just synergy.

I’d be careful ……

going in and asking them for anything ----

So what’s the right price? 3 buckets of blood per tankful? Can children’s livers and kidneys be substitued?

Because MBS wants to annex a good chunk of Yemen, especially the port of Aden, and he has no ground army to speak of*, so it has to be an air war and his F15s don’t have the range to reach Yemen without our tankers.

*Egypt was supposed to supply the troops but backed out when they realized it meant fighting Houthis on their own turf, which is even dumber than occupying Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia has no standing army because an army would have overthrown the house of saud decades ago. The F15s are flown by saud princes.

Five years old. He weighs 5 kg, which is just over 11 pounds.

Oh my fucking god. And the DoD is worried about getting reimbursed for fueling missions.

So our military has been reduced to being nothing but mercenaries - well, that clarifies pretty much everything the Republicans have done in the Middle East since Bush42 was elected. You’d think with all that practice, they’d be better at it, but apparently they can’t even get the billing right… :angry:

I know, I really can’t look at the photo, it is too awful.
Sounds as if we haven’t adequately charged or been adequately paid. Guess the US Govt. is flush and doesn’t need to pay attention to small stuff.

This is almost as bad as the War on Christmas

Saudi Fricking Floating On Oil Arabia is dependent on the U.S. military for aviation fuel supplies. I can think of no more devastating indictment of the economic misrule of the House of Saud.

In a distant second place, I admit, to the even worse human rights record. But still. It’s so glaringly absurd.
