If they were professional politicians they would put country over self interest.

There's more that one meaning for 'professional.' There's the sense that means doctors, CPAs, and others that have official codes of ethics and authority to police their own ranks. But politicians are professionals more in the sense of 'sex workers.'

Especially those that serve to pleasure this "president".

The USA is ramping up slowly. We're not going to deploy 50,000 troops. Not at the same time. I bet it's going to build to 50,000 by Christmas.

50,000 is a lot. Would take longer than that.

In 1990, we put 500,000 soldiers into Saudi Arabia in 5 months. We could do it faster this time, because that infrastructure is still available (AFAIK).

The 3000 that were recently transferred to Saudi Arabia are (if my prediction is correct) getting the place ready for a large build up.

I stand corrected.
