$110B over 10 years.
So $11B/year lol?!
Sounds like the Saudi's went full blown pacifist. Kudos to Jared.

And btw as B1 pointed out, that deal resulting in a fat deposit to Jared's HF or whatever it is, occurred 6 months after Trump was out of office. You act as if things like this are something new. Maybe the Prince or whoever that writes the checks for the SSWF liked him. Thought he was smart.

Maybe... maybe not. I have no idea. But nor do you. So it looks to me like you are just taking boldface type from another "media" outlet with an agenda, and using it to suit your purposes here.; whatever they may be. And that's all well and good, but just know anyone with 1/2 a brain can see right thru it.

But Trump said

"This is a record amount of money,"

And you call it pacifist, guess you know more than Trump the great businessman.

“We need to sell them as much as possible," Kushner told colleagues at a national security council meeting weeks before the May 2017 summit in Saudi Arabia, according to an administration official familiar with the matter.

Another U.S. official said there was a back and forth between Kushner and Department of Defense and State officials on how to get to a larger number

“It was definitely being pushed on the Pentagon people to see what was possible with the Saudis.”

If Hunter Biden did this, Joe would be impeached for it. It's very clear that Kushner lobbied for the Saudi's and then got the 2 billion to 'manage', it's the most obvious bribery scheme you can find in government. Do something favorable while in office and then get your money after 'retirement'.

That goes without saying.

Either way, your debate on this matter, especially if relegated to the above.... weak at best.

So you are saying that importing 10 billion a year is a pacifist amount for a country that never imported anything over 5 billion ever?

Or the fact that their entire defense budget was 50 billion a year and they inked a deal to spend one-fifth of it on the Kushner deal?

if I was saying that, that would be what I said.
Have you checked the price of "defensive in nature" weapons lately?
Allow me to point you in the direction of Raytheon and Boeing's show-room floor.

6 months after Trump was gone and impeached twice.
Lot of influence there.

We are specifically talking about Saudi Arabia, you said 10 billion is a small amount for them - I showed you that's completely wrong. Saudi's bet one-fifth of their budget on the Kushner deal and Kushner got paid for it.

Deal was inked in 2017.

Put a time stamp on inflation due to supply-chain issues Einstein.

Which deal?
Not the one you referenced.
Nice try however, but weak as usual.

I posted the chart to show that 10 billion was not a small amount for Saudi's which is what you implied, that chart had nothing to do with the deal - it was to show that Saudi-Kushner deal was the biggest.
