President Barack Obama has said the classified pages of the 9/11 Commission report that do not “compromise major national security interests” may “hopefully” be soon released, but argued against any potential legal action against Saudi citizens.
...
Obama has said that he doesn’t support the bill, due to the possibility of foreign citizens – presumably victims of US wars and drone strikes – suing the government.
"If we open up the possibility that individuals in the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries," the commander-in-chief said.
The Saudis have reportedly threatened to sell its $750 billion in US assets if Congress passes the law.

>the classified pages of the 9/11 Commission report that do not “compromise major national security interests” may “hopefully” be soon released
Does that mean he would selectively choose to not release certain pages that DO compromise 'national security interests'?
>maybe signing that tpp into action wasn't the best idea after all.
>>71519363
A.) That's probably fair.
B.) How are they going to collect any damages? When you have a military that outclasses literally everyone, it's pretty easy to tell the court "Make me."
>>71519363
He's right, you know
I will sue ugly Americans for not buying my noodles.
Rt is not a news source ever.
>>71520131
There is his interview in source. Or you can look it in other media if you prefer.
The bill specifically mentions that you can only sue if you are the victim of a terrorist attack on US soil.
>>71519363
>"If we let americans sue saudis for 9/11"
>Obama not even hiding the fact there is blame to saudi
>>71519363
Its all a well thought out plan. Those weapons of massdestruction. Saudi has them. Saudi is a nuclear state.
>>71519762
This.
Obama is a nigger through and through
>>71519363
They're going to start suing you anyways once you pass TPP yourself
Retarded nigger
>>71520131
RT is actually just as neutral, if not more neutral than the major western news sources.
>>71519363
How does one country wanting to sue another magically just do it and just "open up the possibility" for all other countries to do so for us, without them already having the right?
If it isnt allowed it isnt allowed. If it is allowed its allowed, regardless of what countries suing who
What in the everloving fuck is he going on about?
>>71520246
What bill? TPP?
>>71520670
only if its about western dirt, dont expect them to spill vlads beans
i read as much propaganda in rt as in the nyt if its about the own country
>>71520246
>The bill specifically mentions that you can only sue if you are the victim of a terrorist attack on US soil
I'm going to sue the American government for terrorist attacks committed by Union forces during the War of Northern Aggression.
>>71519975
It is not that simple.
>>71521044
Yeah, so, RT covers foreign news (not Russia) pretty neutral after my understanding (I do not read RT frequently though, only get sent some links).
They basically ignore writing bad stuff about Russia. I think RT serves a purpose nevertheless though, as a counter to the mainstream western media.
>>71519975
Do you honestly think international politics are handled like kids in a playground?
>"Make me"
You are asking for Vietnamx10 with the amount of cucks you have now.
>>71521275
i also prefer getting information/lied to by both than by only one side
alone the fact that all the leftist/media ppl in my country shittalk rt is reason alone to use it from time to time
Perhaps we need a world court.
>>71521275
No, they're probably even more biased than western media.
>>71519363
Then fucking declare war on them
you pussy.
Jesus Christ, America is letting Saudi Arabia get away WITH TERRORISM.
Holy shit, 50 years ago we would already be sending troops over there, but now our governments are cucked.
I will sue USA for bringing their dirty American capitalist hands here
>>71521557
They are biased in that they almost never write anything bad about Russia.
But their foreign articles seem to me to be pretty neutral.
Remember when Norwegian newspapers went on a propaganda rampage to make people support bombing Gaddafi?
And when the US blew up that school, how little coverage it was of it? Imagine if Russia had done the same.
>>71519363
He is tied up. He knows full well the neocons, the Saudis and Israel are all involved in 9/11. He can only try to desperately cover it with that pathetic excuse up or the cat will be eventually let out of the bag in the open and US' credibility would be completely annihilated.
>>71521595
Saudi Arabia is capable of obtaining nuclear weapons, assuming they don't already have them. A war to force the country to its knees could trigger a nuclear holocaust.
>>71521145
Well murder never expires.
>>71521878
That would take a lot of time, and I'm pretty sure that the only thing they could launch them from is not protected from air strikes. Besides, it's a terrorist country. You nuked one in the past, you can nuke one again. If you can't use airstrikes to disable their nukes, use nukes. The civilian casualties would be minimal.
>>71521878
It's one thing to have a nuke, it's another thing entirely to have a delivery system.
unless you idiots sold them one.
>>71522138
Or you can just put bomb on a tade ship and sail to New York.
Allahu akbar
>>71522083
Usually Fins are to drunk but for you I'd say you need a few more my friend.
>>71519363
You are already allowed to sue countries in the us including the us. It wouldn't change a thing legally. Most claims can't / won't be enforced though for political reasons. This bill makes the us government required to enforce any judgement (seizure of assets ).
>>71522303
You would wipe the floor with them, and you would be righteous in doing so. Saudis are enslavers at best, jihadists at worst.
WE'RE THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP SUCKING ARAB COCK REEEEEEEEEEEEE
What does it say about Americans going to Saudi Arabia and suiciding a couple 747s into their precious cube and other mosques? Let's fight fire with fire. Ensure we leave a paper trail too.
>>71522891
Canada and most of Europe would declare war on us for islamophobia.
>>71519363
>"If we open up the possibility that individuals in the United States can routinely start suing other governments, then we are also opening up the United States to being continually sued by individuals in other countries," the commander-in-chief said.
Isnt that literally the biggest point of TTIP and the other free trade agreements that any company can sue any government? Isnt Obama and the US administration pushing very hard for that?
Fucking idiots
>>71519655
It's basically a full-on admission of Saudi guilt.
Meanwhile Saudis are laughing at how they can boss America around whenever they want while depending on them for defense and constantly attacking them via wahabist proxies.
>>71519363
He's actually most likely right about this. T-thanks based obama
>>71519363
Sooooo we're not aiming for justice of 3000 American lives over legal fees?
Also, wouldn't we be more inclined to not engage in wreckless military operations if we could get sued? Like, isn't the point of justice systems to make sure we follow through ethically? Instead Obama wants to perpetuate the climate of "bigger bullies never pay consequences"????
Why are we okay with his answer?
>>71522891
You don't have to do anything, stop giving them weapons and logistics and they will be a failed state in about a week.
>>71523253
Money matters more than "flimsy" ol' life, retard.
>>71522992
Lmao no, Germany would try but Britain will never join a war against the US
>>71521371
Your right unfortunately.
Until we kick the cucks out, the govt is forced to play along.
>>71519363
man, charlie, get your shit together
>>71520086
Underrated
>>71519363
The proposed bill only alows to sue for connection to terrorism on american ground.
>>71520670
>RT is neutral
fuck off, its pro-Russian shilling as fuck
>>71521595
30 years ago America was funding and arming mujahideen and Bin Laden in Afghanistan that later formed Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS.
>>71519363
Can someone explain why the fuck the president is talking about lawsuits?
Can someone explain to me how documents directly linking Saudi Arabia to the 9/11 attacks would not be a justification for turning their entire country into a fucking parking lot?
Only Trump can fix this.
>>71519363
What did he mean by this?? Someone suing the CIA? If true does the average Joe give a shit?
>>71524184
Either cowardice or because they don't want to risk declaring open war on the entirety of Islam by attacking the country guarding Mecca.
Im sure Saudi will offer to build a super mosque and send ten million refugees to apologize.
>>71522083
>That would take a lot of time
How long do you think it takes Salman to call Pakistan and request some nukes?
And it is very possible that the Saudis have already acquired them in secret.
>>71523253
Obama is an ivory tower cunt, what can we expect after 7.5 years of this shit?
>>71519363
fuck it, I say it's a good idea, chase these cunts over the globe taking their war sheckles
>>71521145
>I'm going to sue the American government for terrorist attacks committed by Union forces during the War of Northern Aggression.
not until they repeal the bretton woods agreement, but they're working on that
>>71521595
>Then fucking declare war on them
the plan is to just send the Bush family along with anyone else who made money off the attack, we'll put them in uniform and they can go battle it out by themselves
>>71521806
>US' credibility would be completely annihilated.
US hasn't had credibility in 100 years
If you won't sue them, what are you going to do then, other than suing?
>>71522232
>implying anything of use to anyone will be lost if new york gets atomized.
>>71519363
Alright big nig how about this, we trillions to have the biggest, most powerful military on this planet.
So how about we use that to say, we can sue you, but you can't sue us?
This shitskin in the White House is a Muslim sympathizer, nothing will be done until he leaves
It's pointless even talking about it
>>71519363
leader of transparent government, everyone
Can you imagine how much the courts would award Europe for all the damage we're doing to it now?
>>71519363
I don't often agree with Obama, but in this case he's right.
>>71519363
damn wow, obama just gives a fuck & likes to suck saudi cocks till the bitter end
>>71519363
What fucking nigger
>>71522138
Oops...

The world welcomes the United States as the sole hegemonic power because it plays RELATIVELY fair.
If you overreach with your army's pro-activity, and intimidation and illegal wars become the order of the day rather than the exception, you will not be seen as too different from Russia, or China. Which will mean your foreign military bases will be closed, your protection alliances partly dissolved, many countries will be running to Russia and China for protection and countries like France, Germany and Japan will begin rebuilding their own armies. And once these countries are no longer relying on the United States for protection, they will be considerably less likely to agree with the United States on issues like sanctions, trade, and especially military interventions.
In such an scenario, an American carrier ship sailing to bomb (for example) Iran will no longer feel safe traveling through either the Mediterranean or the Indian Ocean. It will have to look at enemies from every side. Who knows if Italy, Turkey, Pakistan and China (examples) are getting too close to Iran and want to launch some surprise missiles on your ship? That is an attack you could only answer with nukes and that would certainly be answered with nukes as well
Which means your carrier will probably not sail too far away from home any more. Meaning you get a downgrade from world superpower to a regional power that only gets to dominate the Americas
It also seems likely that several countries would begin to develop WoMD programs of their own for security concerns. And with many countries acting independently, economic sanctions will be useless to stop them. America cutting off trade with Brazil, South Africa or Turkey is not effective if it can't get the whole EU and some Asian countries to do it too. Which means you will have up to 50 countries with WoMD. Some of which could fall in the hands of terrorists
tl;dr: Allies are fundamental to America regardless of its military supremacy
>>71528912
Europeans blaming us because they can't say "no" is sad.
>>71530919
We destabilized all of north Africa and the middle east. Imagine if Brazil starting bombing Mexico. What would America do with another 40 million Mexican refugees?

I've heard a lot of nasty rhetoric about the president. We're going to kick your rear end out of the White House and stuff. That's just not the way I behave.
OBAMA, WE LOVE YOU!
PLEASE TELL US HOW TO VOTE IN THE EU REFERENDUM!
