The UK, Russia, or China would love to get those billions and the jobs. So we don’t sell to Saudi. That will show them. i never said they were choirboys. BTW, their first choice is to buy American, but they’ll go elsewhere if they have to. Some act like the Saudis will just go without if we don’t sell to them. Doesn’t happen.
Another point is that thanks to us selling them all of that equipment they’ll probably never use, we have to spend hardly any money or resources on intelligence there.

Nothing like having principles. We are the only nation on earth founded specifically around ideas and principles.
And if they buy crappy Brit, Russian and Chinese stuff...cool with me.
if someone like the Brits do it, then you thank them and hit them with brutal tariffs.
Saudi Arabia is a murderous feudal monarchy and the quicker it collapses, the better. And they repress Christianity hard. More better that we flop our crank on the table and make those lazy evil throwbacks toe the line.
They pay for security. Maybe a lesson in their utter inability to kick our ass would do the world some good. The way we’ve tried it since about 1970 sure hasnt worked.
