US To Deploy 500 Troops to Saudi Arabian Air Base

Prince Sultan Air Base
The US is preparing to send 500 troops to Saudi Arabia in response to what is claimes as the growing Iran threat, reports The Sun.

The move will fortify the growing Prince Sultan Air Base - which is being heavily built-up with a Patriot missile defense battery and an improved runway, CNN reported.

It's hoped that fifth-generation F-22 stealth jets and other fighters will be flown from the base to strike Iranian targets should war break out, according to reports.

So much for Trump's deescalation in the Middle East.

    So much for the "Let's take care of us for a change" president. Orange-peel-man seems to be able to keep only one promise: that we would soon be tired of "so much winning".

      I don't negotiate with racists, S. It's been a longstanding policy of decent people not to negotiate with them.

      @OldMexican: isn't referring to Trump as "Orange-peel-man" racist? By all means criticize Trump, but don't be a hypocrite.

      @CCLS

      'Racist' is just an anti-white slur.

    Is this more art of the deal stuff with Trump? Have Rand Paul meet the Iranian foreign minister to talk peace and at the same time send more troops to support against the so-called Iranian threat? Does the Great Orange have heated verbal debates with himself?
