I thought I had heard he was deployed. He is listed as a "Navy veteran" but maybe he never got deployed to war. I honestly don't know a lot about him. What I do know is he became the face for the decadence of the west, and blew up on Instagram by having teams of attractive women over at his place taking very inappropriate pictures. But this also gained him a large following among young men. Now he is using that fame to spread the word about the evil of Israel and is losing a lot of money and probably receiving a lot of threats over it. But he keeps going, and he is the only one to really stick to his guns on this subject in the west with a large following.^ Where did you get the information that he was a combat veteran? I had heard he was trying to get into the SEALs but he washed out during the process. I don't think he was ever deployed.
Saudi Crown Prince MBS has decided not to attend the coming BRICS conference/meeting in Kazan on October 22 and the Saudis will send their Foreign Minister in his place. Instead MBS has travelled to Brussels to attend the first Gulf Cooperation Council/ EU meeting which is focusing on creating an economic/hydrocarbon corridor between the EU and the Gulf (hello Syria).
Putin has been a little naughty and MBS wants to send him a clear message. MBS is unhappy that Russia is overproducing oil and unilaterally renegotiated deals on lowering oil production, MBS is unhappy that Russia is selling oil at discount prices which messes up the markets and has lowered Saudi market share, and is unhappy that Putin lowkey contacted the Saudis' mortal enemies (Ansarallah/Houthi leaders) to work out differences.
MBS has a strong hand. The Russian military budget is based on a 75USD oil price and everything less will become a problem very fast. Expect Putin to jump back in line soon enough. Russia needs the Saudis (Gulf allies in tow) yet the Saudis can easily play Russia, China, the EU and the US against one another.

Russia doesn't have budgetary issues, this notion is based on dumb Urusla/Biden-level NATO economic propaganda that claimed that the Russian economy was going to collapse.
Russia has the lowest debt of any major industrialized nation, along with large reserves. The western sanctions have actually been largely positive in revitalizing domestic Russian economy.
Also, your own graph discredits the notion that Saudi is unsatisfied with Russia because they are overproducing oil, it is pretty clear that Saudi market share is declining while the US' is rising.
MBS is just hedging that Trump is going to be reelected, which might bring him back closer to the US, but in the long run Saudi Arabia is going to be increasingly linked with China economically, and politically. That is why Saudi high schools are now teaching their kids Mandarin.
An 'army' of hundreds of Chinese teachers in Saudi Arabia to teach Mandarin
A first group of 175 teachers has completed their training and will start teaching in the Saudi kingdom by the end of August. The goal is to send at least 800 teachers to the Arab country. This is anowww.asianews.it
China-Saudi Trade is Booming… And Not Just Because of Oil
The obvious reason for Xi Jinping's trip to Saudi Arabia is to foster closer ties with one of China's largest oil suppliers (Russia and Saudi Arabia have been battling for the top spot for much of the past year), but that alone would overlook the increasingly dynamic economic relationship that's ...chinaglobalsouth.com

I didn't realize this many were likely delivered. Seems to be very likely that Israel is going to do something stupid and kick things off in the Middle East.Or they expect that their attack on Iran will cause major retaliation.
When we win, this man will receive the Medal of Honor.^Looks like a leak from an American patriot in the Pentagon.
