That statement is confusing Fred. Trump kept a lot of the Obama intelligence honchos in place when he was elected, then streamlined it. The Saudi trip? Didn’t one of the Saudi princes just state to the Palestinians that they have been given every option and peace offering for decades and have refused all of it – “so if you are not serious about peace with Israel, stop asking for it”? That was certainly in response to the Saudi trip. The difference between Obama and Trump is Trump listens, and delegates to those who are actually smarter than him in their respective fields – Intelligence, military etc. and then provides what they need. Obama and his information suppliers, Hillary and John Kerry, sat on his hands and you can see where that has gotten us in 8 years, foreign-policy related.
Another example is the situation in Ukraine, where again Obama sat on his hands, afraid he might stir up Russia…..Trump is not duped by the world’s thugs.

Not a sealed vault. A warehouse in a Tehran suburb. I’ve also heard it described as a storage unit.
Sounds like something you could do with a van and a couple of guys.
Do you really want to go “International Jewish Conspiracy!” on this?
Yeah, dude. That’s exactly where I was going with that. I was totally looking for a simple three word phrase that would describe it. Thank you so much for furthering an intelligent discussion by providing one.
Not just one of the princes — Prince Muhammed bin Salman. Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman. I believe the formulation was “shut up and stop complaining.”
I’ll note that wasn’t a denial.
Cut it out.
Cut it out.
Joking that the haul of new secret material could have been done with a van and some moving guys is not the same as joking that someone talking about Israel must see all Jews as part of an international cabal.
Your attempt at equivalence fails.
Really cut it out.
2:00 in we see the interior. Those are heavy duty safes. Interestingly, the amount of material collected probably only accounts for a few of them.
That begs the question of how representative the collected material is.
Did they only collect the atomic bomb portions of an archive that also included hydrogen bomb materials?
Did the spies have access to inspect the contents of all the safes and then pick the best material to retrieve? Or did they just break into a random group and retrieve what they found?

Sorry to whomever linked this elsewhere on the site, I can’t recall who or where, but this is just freakin’ awesome:
