A closer look at the handshake between Putin and the Prince of Saudi.

[kentuck]

First of all, they did not look like two strangers meeting for the first time. They looked like very close friends. They looked celebratory.

As Donald Trump walked behind them in the crowd, with a scowl on his face, Putin and the Prince seemed to be enjoying themselves.

We should not overlook the meeting in the Seychelles to discuss nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia. They are more than willing to build them without Donald Trump, although it would hurt Trump immensely to be cut out of such a profitable deal.

These two international thugs were sending a message to the rest of the world. They are working together. Donald Trump is a naive clown and they will proceed without him.

1. Saudis no friend to us but this has been another coup for Putin

The weakening of US power due to the Orange traitor is shocking in its speed and breadth.
After Trump, what will US be ABLE to do with Saudi Arabia? Any decent president won’t be able to ignore what has happened.

2. Two killers laughing at our bought and paid for President.

They are awful people celebrating death. Trumps buddies????

[watoos]

3. So what is Iran going think about Putin and MBS palling around?

[The Liberal Lion]

9. that is a very good question

should be worthwhile to see how this plays out from that perspective.

4. Mocking trump with that handshake

[jaxind]

5. Handshake

When people bypassed the Saudi Prince refusing to shake his hand, why did some still shake Putin's hand?? Both The Saudi Prince and Putin should have been treated like pariahs by everyone!

[Chemisse]

6. There was a whole jubilant attitude of 'yeah, we pulled it off!'

Including the prince shaking his head a bit just afterwards, like he just couldn't believe how great things turned out and/or how stupid Trump was for playing his part.

And there was no attempt at hiding it. It was flaunted for the whole world to see!

That look on Trump's face might not have been jealousy, but the shocking realization that he has been played by the master - again; that the prince and Putin were in on it together.

7. I think trump's look was one of vengeance

Not sure how he will manage it since Putin and MBS have him by the short hairs.

[radical noodle]

12. Looked like jealousy to me

He's jealous that these two can literally get away with murder and he can't no matter how much he wishes to murder his enemies.

[dhol82]

17. It looked to me like trump suddenly realized he wasn't asked to be at the popular table

I visualize Margaret Hamilton screaming about the dog.

[radical noodle]

19. That's part of his problem

He's always wanted to be the popular kid on the block, but his personality is such that no one likes him.

[dhol82]

22. Yup, and then he goes all psycho when it happens.

[Achilleaze]

8. The pervo princeling is doing a Hyper-Alpha wig wag shakey shake

He is guilty as sin of murder, and undoubtedly more, and he is out to display his STANKY MALE ALPHA spoor. He's a highly inadequate wanker, who is highly insecure. He would fit right into the fugly, immoral Latter Day republican party.

10. SNL REALLY played it up!

I just think a guy who dresses like a picnic table should be a bit less flamboyant. (Ok, ok, the whole PC stuff, etc., but that’s my culture shaming opinion and I’m stickin’ to it )

[pangaia]

13. Oddly enough, I was having somewhat similar thoughts....

forgive me for I have sinned..

OK back to PC.

[Zambero]

14. So symbolically, if the Saudi Prince is the picnic table...

then Putin must be the carving utensils. And newly-scorned Trump would be the non-pardoned fully cooked turkey. Having the foul fowl doing the bidding of these guys has really paid off (for them). America First, y'know!

11. Two bros of power don't need their 'beotch' who is just wandering around.

[ProudLib72]

15. But do you suppose that MBS is Putin's puppet as well?

He's 33, by no means a seasoned statesman. No way in hell is he anywhere near Putin's level. MBS is just another evil SOB who is getting played by Putin. This reminds me of grade school tactics where the popular kid plays the less popular kids against each other by showing favoritism first to one then the other kid.

[Grasswire2]

18. Kushner is very close to MBS remember

They stayed up all night plotting excitedly how to carve up the Middle East in a new alignment.

Where was Kushner this weekend?

We know that Ivanka took Trump's place at least one meeting, taking his chair and participating.

[wishstar]

20. Kushner was there and Mexican President gave him their highest civilian medal of honor

The CBS Article and Sarah Sanders' tweet in article indicates this occurred at the G20 summit

21. That handshake was Putin selling out the Iranians to the Saudis

Trump wants a war with the Iranians...the Saudis want a war with the Iranians. What's stopping them? The threat of Russian involvement...but the Russians have a little problem they want taken care of first...the Magnitsky sanctions.
