Saudis release video of the whole US delegation fist bumping MBS..

What a bunch of ***holes the Saudis are. They waited till the anti fist bump screaming was at a fever pitch. It was on CNN just after 8PM.

1. The whole thing was a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

I think Biden and company made the right choice as declining an informal greeting by the host nation would have played much, much worse. The Saudi rulers are simply awful people.

6. That's the way I see it, too. He couldn't very well announce the visit and then

snub the "host" by refusing a fist bump (or handshake).

5. I see it as Biden had no other choice. I wonder if the Saudis think of ISIL these

days, you know when Obama came to the Saudis' rescue after their madrasses around the middle east had finally created ISIL that then turned on them. This is after their madrasses created terrorism around the world for more than a decade.

7. It wasn't a big deal when Trump danced with them. nt
