The answer for all Non Americans: there was no reason.
The answer for all Us Americans: because one person has decided it.

Sure, I’m just saying that there have been some major bribes like crypto laundering and a fucking jumbo plane, and what are the chances that this is what they bought…

None of the Gulf states are able to drill for oil, and even if they could they wouldn’t be able to ship it out. Look at a map of where all the middle east oil fields are

US Administration struggles to present coherent narrative on, anything.

No reason? Of course there was: distract from Trump being accused in the Trump-Epstein files.
Lies, lies, lies as innocent people die for USA to play its game! USA is a dead country and anyone failing to see that, has a big problem.

Because what’s left of the American free press was speaking too much about the Epstein Files.

I wonder at which level of ridiculousness of this US administration that even the complete and utter regards that vote for it will realise that it is damaging their country quite seriously
Have we reached it yet? Attacking the judiciary? No? Ignoring laws? No? Deporting farm workers? No? Murdering people on the streets? No? A war for no reason, surely that suffices? No? When?
