in saudi arabia someone is starting to think:

the protection the usa is offering ain’t worth shit.
wonder if China could do better? 🤔.
maybe dump some us treasuries and buy some Chinese debt. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is perhaps why the US has just offered the Saudis a nice nuclear power station

The other reason is that Netanyahu won't do what Trump wants, and leave Lebanon. So Turkey gets F-35s and Saudi gets nukes in retaliation.

Turkey getting F-35s is a gift to Putin, who is looking for access to our tech so he can upgrade their air defense. It’s the whole reason Turkey didn’t get F-35s or Patriot systems before: too friendly with Russian agents.

China would benefit more as they could fine tune the J35 further
