Tulsi Gabbard Slams Trump: Being “Saudi Arabia’s Bitch Is Not America First”
It's Congress which has put America first on this one having voted to end US involvement in the criminal Yemen war
The media is, once again, insisting that we rely on anonymous statements from military officials and a few select images to justify war, this time with Iran.
U.S. President Donald Trump is likewise posting threats of a military response on Twitter, saying we are “locked and loaded.”
“Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked,” Trump on Sunday.
“There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!”

Trump, however, stops short of placing the blame on Iran in his latest round of tweets on the subject, instead saying that he is “waiting to hear” from Saudi Arabia.
Despite the fact that the U.S. provides Saudi oil terminals with U.S.-made Hawk surface-to-air missiles, spends at least $81 billion a year protecting oil supplies around the world, and recently deployed 500 troops to the Kingdom, the president alludes to the fact that the United States—the world’s leading military superpower—doesn’t have it’s own intelligence about what happened at the world’s largest oil processing facility.
At least two Democratic presidential contenders are not going to let the president’s reliance on Saudi Arabia for information about the attack slide.
“Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters,” Gabbard tweeted on Sunday.
“Having our country act as Saudi Arabia’s bitch is not ‘America First’.”
In a tweet directly quoting Trump, Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) slammed the U.S. president for his latest instance of failing to put “America First.”
Trump awaits instructions from his Saudi masters. Having our country act as Saudi Arabia's bitch is not "America First." https://t.co/kJOCpqwaQS

Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also responded to the president Monday, tweeting, “Mr. Trump, the Constitution of the United States is perfectly clear. Only Congress—not the president—can declare war.”
“Congress will not give you the authority to start another disastrous war in the Middle East just because the brutal Saudi dictatorship told you to.”
Mr. Trump, the Constitution of the United States is perfectly clear. Only Congress—not the president—can declare war. And Congress will not give you the authority to start another disastrous war in the Middle East just because the brutal Saudi dictatorship told you to. https://t.co/3wstui4O6I

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted Monday, “Congress has the constitutional power to declare war. Not the president. Not the Secretary of State. And definitely not Saudi Arabia.”
Congress has the Constitutional power to declare war.
Not the President.
Not the Secretary of State .
And DEFINITELY not Saudi Arabia.This President lies about everything from weather maps and crowd sizes. There is no reason we should take his word on justifications for war. https://t.co/isE3RvLMpI

Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), recalled that “Congress has voted multiple times to end U.S. involvement in the war on Yemen” on Twitter, saying that the U.S. may now find itself in an “all out regional war with Iran” as Trump seeks instructions from Saudi Arabia rather than Congress or “the American people.”
Congress has voted multiple times to end US involvement in the war on Yemen. Now that war may suck the US into all out regional war with Iran and, instead of going to Congress or making his case to the American people, Trump is asking the Kingdom for instructions.

“The U.S. is not obligated to fight Saudi Arabia’s wars,” Abdi in a statement.

So we have the country with the greatest armament protection and they can’t take care of drones? They have every thing they need. Tulsi is right, What the hell are we protecting this country for, they make and break the rules as well as kill and dismember. The OIL? We are self sufficient so why does our us oil and gas go up? I am beginning to believe that the campaign has lost its steam, and the repeat issues are being repeated.
The ranting of a bunch of idiots, sociopaths and psychopaths.
And with each passing year, the moronic, vile, idiocy spewed by these political whores gets worse and worse.
The ravings of demonic lunatics.
It is laughable for ANY USA political prostitute, of either wing of the same crime cabal, to talk of putting America first.
If they had put America first, they would not have committed treason against America and Americans by serving America’s enemies in DC.
You know I think were she to have been elected, she could have then had enough support from the general military corps for a President led military coup against the top brass and Congress. But of course Trump won’t pluck her for VP unless she is bigger than this..
Being Saudi Arabia’s bitch makes a change from being Israel’s bitch. Note that she doesn’t mention that far more common occurance.
Is America being Saudi’s bitch, is she being Israel’s bitch ? As far as I can ascertain it’s just America being America, being the Satanic, warmongering, psychopathic entity it’s always been….from its inception to the present day, look at its inglorious history from the genocide of the natives to the present day….243 years of murderous psychotic insanity !
