10 generations ago? Lulz. 

6 to 10, actually.   A range that corresponds with her previous claims.   Not that it is of any actual importance.

She claimed to be .5% or less Native American? 

[Celery Man 21,099]

Do you need to be a despot in order for Trump to find a strong, flat denial to be totally compelling?

Which, to be fair, is the same thing any other US administration in history would do. 

One made a deal with Iran to keep them from developing nukes. The Saudis hated that. Trump tore up that deal

Didn’t Harvard promote Warren as a Native American faculty member?

No.

[Asithappens 978]

Imo, in terms of real/geo-politics Trump (as inartful as he is) is correct with Saudi Arabia. Losing the military sales over one dead journalist isn't worth it. 

We (as in the USA) have dealt with bad regimes before when it was in our best interests.

So it’s your belief that Harvard promoted her as such because she was truthful about her heritage? You’re cute.

This situation would be a lot different if a video of the killing somehow surfaced.

No, you are. I was asking for a link to your claim.

Not really. Only in the sense that SA would probably back down. 

We don't want to become like Canada, imo, when it comes to being a world moral spokesman.

You sound like a sociopath, Asithappens.  You should get that checked out.

She embellished her Native American ancestry to Harvard and Penn, you can’t  be this naive.

Hm, you sound like a "progressive". Might want to get that checked out.

I'm not advocating all this, but let's get adult and real. The US has dealt with other bad regimes and while SA needs us more than we need them, in the big scheme of things one dead journalist isn't worth seriously roiling the waters. It just isn't. Our play is to use harsh words but is this really worth losing weapons sales and all the $ and jobs at Boeing et al ? I don't think so. We should do something, but not to the extent it may significantly harm the US.

Haven't read all the posts in re this, but wasn't the question whether Harvard promoted her based on her Indian-ness?

This isn't the same thing.

I’d rather us not materially support a genocide in Yemen, but I’d guess that’s something that wouldn’t find troubling.

So where is your proof that she "embellished" her Native American ancestry?  Do I need to provide a dictionary link defining "embellish" for you?

You should start a thread on the Yemen issue rather than attempting to conflate it with SA.

“Trump, who has said he would donate $1M to charity if Warren took a DNA test, replied bluntly to the news: "Who cares?"

The proof is in the article I linked. She told both universities that she was Native American and they listed her as a minority faculty member. Had they known that she was .5% or less, she would’ve been laughed out of the room.

Didn't EW say that she had a grandmother that was Indian? 

The link above says that her Indian-ness didn't kick in until 6 to 10 generations ago. Wouldn't that be an embellishment?

She explained some family lore of her being of American American ancestry, she should thank her lucky stars that these DNA kits were nonexistent at the time.

I'm pretty fucking sure she didn't check the "100% Native American" box you stooge.

Great-grandparent, then? Great-great?

Or was she specific in stating that the connection was 6-10 generations ago? 

Maybe she did.

Harvard: oh, you're from Oklahoma, do you happen to have any native American ancestry?

Au contraire, minority faculty members were viewed as a skin on the wall, pun intended.

And... the US should care about Yemen why? Because it's the moral thing to do? And it's not unanimous that what's happening in Yemen is a genocide.

Rwanda? Cambodia? Darfur? The Yazidis? Rohingyas?

It's all bad, no doubt. But that's not why the US should go to the mat.
