I don’t agree with the coddling of Saudi Arabia; there is one thing I know, if they are not our allies, then they will be Russia’s or China’s allies. So, it is a bit of a pick your poison type situation. This is in effect, geo-politics, better to arm them than fight their wars for them. We can never do that. Even in Syria and Iraq, we are largely advising vs. fighting on the front line.
TRex said today that the arms deal will enable Saudis to defend themselves and save American’s money.
