We allied with Stalin during WW2. The world isn’t a pretty place.
Im aware of that. But we aren’t facing what we did in WWII. That Saudi hell hole gets treated as legitimate and it only not as repressive as North Korea. There is literally more freedom in Red China than Saudi Arabia.
And there was zero excuse to pay to arm ISIS.
We walk around crowing about peace and freedom. One or two despots being in our camp for some very specific urgent reason, I get. But when nearly every freedom crushing movement on earth is supported by us, you have to start asking some hard questions.
