Officials at the Defense Dept deflected our inquiry...State: will not comment on specific bilateral defense agreements.., encourage burden-sharing among partners....

1. Maybe this is what the Saudi are paying rump...the equivalent of 2-3K worth of US troops ...

being paid to rump instead of actual troops on the ground...no wonder no one understands what rump is saying, he's screwed up and said something prior to any US troops being on the ground in Saudi Arabia first...

3. Where to even begin

First what is the strategic mission? Our military shouldn’t be out for rent. That is the first question

How many rooms at which trump property did the Saudi’s “pay for”. Or was part of it agreeing to buy weapons from US arms manufacturers which are private companies not the government

I think it is highly likely our soldiers are being rented out for private profit.

4. They are paying Trump. Under the table, in the open. nt
