@harshpatel7250 I know what Saudi Arabia buys because we were involved personally with training them on the F-15SA. Most of Saudi Arabia's military is equipped with US weapons, and they rely on US and British contract maintainers to keep their jets flying, always have.

@harshpatel7250 The Norwegians, Danes, Belgians, Israelis, Poles, Japanese, South Koreans, and many other US fighter operators do their own maintenance, otherwise I wouldn’t have singled-out the Saudis for the ineptness and laziness in this area.

@harshpatel7250 I’m counting 93 nuclear reactors in the US currently operating per the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The US is one of the largest oil producers and refiners in the world. We refine 18.1 million barrels per day. Saudis refine maybe 2.7-3.1m barrels per day, not even anywhere near the same ballpark as the US. This information is all readily-available at the tips of your fingers.

Now if we could just get a Saudi to admit their military incompetence from the comfort of his air-conditioned abode...

@samael7867 Notice that all of those European arch enemies now get along because the US stepped-in to provide all of their security since 1945, set the stage for their economic union, and now is in withdrawal from our interest in Europe.

@KRYPTOS_K5 Economically recoverable uranium reserves are located in the western United States, Australia, Canada, Central Asia, Africa, and South America. US extracts from Western US and imports from these other regions.

@harshpatel7250 "Russia is advance in hypersonic missiles..." Nein "Chinese navy has overtaken US Navy." Nein, das ist nicht correct. Report to re-education camp.

@willaimoconnell9430 How many people in the comment section know their own geography or history? But they sure do know the intricacies of geopolitics, international trade, and defense. It's amazing to bathe in this sea of genius.

@ronarnett4811 Yes. The US has unparalleled refining capacity and can determine who of all the producers has access to that critical segment of the market. The US also has a lot of light sweet and shale, while many other nations have thick, nasty crude that requires US refineries to process it before it can be distributed.

@jamesmedina2062 There are only a few nations that make effective modern fighters, and the US just created a gap in technology that jumped even farther ahead than our existing dominant lead. The next-best European manufacturers have not made that jump.
