#5 Buying "friendship" of other nations never works in the long term. Look up Barbary Pirates and see how that worked out.

The submarine purchase will likely be an issue in the U.S. election, because both parties are vying for support from a relatively large concentration of swing-voting Jewish Americans in Florida.

Aren't these the same folks that Bernie Madoff targeted for his giga ponzi scheme? Hmmmmm.
