KW: It doesn’t take too long for the Americans to spit the dummy if they feel jilted. Recall how they treated New Zealand when Prime Minister David Lange banned nuclear powered or armed ships from New Zealand waters?

One day after Saudi king Salman met with Russian President Putin in a historic meeting in Moscow, the Pentagon announced it is halting military exercises with Gulf allies.
