America use to be the country that would call out communism, fascism, everywhere in the world, what changed.

I guess the UN is rubbing off on us.

Silence from them on pretty much everything. Can’t offend the member states.

We lead in situations like this. Or we use to.

I thought taking cowboy diplomacy actions and shooting from the hip was frowned upon. I thought we were supposed to use the institutions available to us and get everyone together and sing kumbahyah and resolve everything without offending anyone. My how times have changed.

They are not any other US citizen. They are also Citizens of that country that is holding them. Special circumstances. If they wanted complete US protection they should have renounced their other citizenship.

Having dual citizenship does not negate the fact that they are American Citizens and just as entitled to our nation’s protection. You will not find any law or ordinance stating an American with dual citizenship is a lesser citizen.

Being stupid is probably going to hurt for these two.

Being dual citizens, they can expect full punishment from the Saudi Government as if they are Saudi Citizens. Not much the US can do about it.

Stupididy should hurt. These two will find that out.

You sound almost gleeful.

Remember that stupid Rosa Parks? How stupid to think things could change.

That’s just the way it is? No. That doesn’t work anymore.

Fighting for peoples rights isnt stupid.

See here is how you should have posted.

They are fighting the good fight but they should expect to be detained because of saudi law, but i support their cause…

But no…you did the exact opposite…

Sacrifice is the word. Change takes sacrifice. Sacrifice is not stupid.

They of all people should know the laws and customs of a country they are a citizen (dual) of.

Stupididy should hurt. These two will find that out.

Was is stupid when Rosa parks did her thing? When black americans sat at lunch counters? When MLK protested the laws of america?

When women took to the streets in america to get teh right to vote? Just a bunch of dumb broads?

Seriously, how could you possibly say that?

Wow. Swear I didn’t read this b4 I posted. Brilliant minds.

And you made the point much better. Thanks.

Reading that is like listening to my mom talk about some 1970s soap opera.

You don’t remember what the left said about Bush?

Unless its for a woman…then its stupid…

What he did was he said something stupid and instead of doing the human thing and saying whoops…he doubled down and made excuses.

Remember when Otto was captured in NK and the right derided Obama for being so weak.

Yet now these women are NBD and too bad so sad for them when Trump is in office.

Oh I agree with you I am not a fan of SA either and I have seen more than a few presidents say something about SA while running for office, once in it all changes. It’s like they get a SA foreign policy memo with the keys to the White House.

Have you ever seen a US president believe the Saudi claim that they didn’t murder a US based journalist despite the strong evidence presented by our intelligence agencies that they did?

Trump won’t do a damn thing about these female US citizens. Not one ■■■■■■■ thing.

Snow96:

My point is, they remain Saudi Citizens and are subject to their laws as such. Since they kept their Saudi Citizenship (or if they were US citizens first and became Saudi citizens without renouncing like they should – in my opinion), the US should play no part in their arrest and let their laws play out with their citizens.

Did you ever stop for a minute and think maybe…just maybe…they do know?

Do you really believe that fighting for a just cause even if you’re going to be arrested, jailed, and maybe even tortured and killed is stupid?

You really believe this?

It would explain quite a bit…

You messed up the quote. I didn’t post that.

No President would, they all kiss the crown. You can blame the inaction on Trump if you like but this has being going for decades with Saudi Arabia. We sell billions of arms to them no president is going to do more than wag their finger at them.

Snow96 · 2019-04-06T23:08:29.045Z

Why didn’t Obama do anything against Saudi? Is it any worse now than it was the 8 years of Obama?

This is a good question.

…they were right of course.

cite an example of a president ignoring their own intel and claim SA didn’t do what we know they did. Or really, any other country…cite an example of a POTUS publicly siding with a foreign government over the opinion of own intelligence agencies.

Then you might have a point.

No President would have acted- that’s true.

But from them we would at least gotten the stern “Bad Saudi Arabia! Bad! Don’t do it again- now here’s our latest military tech”.

With Trump we got abject capitulation. Not even the stern “Bad Saudi Arabia”.

No question the latter is worse than the former.
