Daily Mail: Trump will send 500 troops and F-22 stealth fighter jets to Saudi Arabia and U.S. general says Pentagon will work 'aggressively' to protect oil shipments after Iran seizes foreign tanker
* Pentagon will deploy 500 U.S. troops to an air base east of Riyadh
* Upgrading airstrip to support stealth F-22 Raptor jets and other aircraft
* Move is a counterweight to new aggression from Iran, which says it seized a 'foreign tanker' in the Gulf
* Satellite photos show troop and equipment moving to the Prince Sultan Air Base
The Trump administration is planning to send 500 U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia to bolster the kingdom's defenses against Iran.
CNN reported Thursday that the Prince Sultan Air Base, in a desert east of Riyadh, will get a Patriot missile battery and an upgraded airfield runway. A small number of troops and support staff are already there.
The Pentagon intends to fly stealth F-22 Raptor jets and other aircraft from the base. Its remote location is thought to be difficult for Iranian missiles to strike.
The new deployment is one part of a 1,000-troop boost that the administration announced last month. Congress reportedly got a heads-up about the troops and will have more formal notification next week.

That might be true, but only because socialist assholes taxed the shit out of people and discourage them from having children with a heavy tax burden and running down their culture.
The Europe of the Future will not have a single Jew.
Congrats liberals, you did what Hitler could not achieve.
Liberals are Fucking Morons.
Death to the EU!!!!!!!!!
