And I do not know enough to comment on which of the two we should support.
BUT....we have hugged, kissed and bowed to them for these many years and now we leave them high and dry to die.
What an example that should set for Israel and all the others to see.
Our CIA and State Department will throw all of you under the buss when the going gets tough.
Anyone who trusts this government for their well being and survival is a fool.
The whole article smells, like we give a damn about them bombing Yemen? Yemen is a proxy battlefield in the War between Shia and Sunnis, our place on this battlefield is to arm both sides and hope they manage to kill millions of each other.
“What an example that should set for Israel and all the others to see”
But Israel can absorb a first strike from nuclear weapons that take out ever bomb they have and launch a retalitory strike from submarines that will take out all her enemies thou she lay in smoldering ashes. Thank God for their wisdom. Moscow is also on the target list as without Moscow the Arab States that oppose Israel would not have been able to strike Israel.
They have a name for this strategy, it is called the Samson option. If their destruction is a certain, they will pull the temple down on themselves and enemies alike.
Israel is wise and they have the most sophisticated of nuclear weapons. We designed them but they have them. They also have the neutron bomb that we took out of our arsenal, and that was most foolish of us. Neutron bombs can be used to destroy life in close quarters without the danger of radioactive fallout nor physical destruction. It is in effect a localized radiation weapon. Inches of armor on a tank are but butter to neutrons. Again I say, Israel is wise.

Israel was always downplayed in order to please the Arabs even though she was/is the ONLY strategic and reliable US ally in the region.
The Obama administration stabbed Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Israel in the back at critical junctures these last 8 years.
Even though we are less reliant on Saudi Arabia, how can the US support the growing Russian-Iranian hegemony in the region at the expense of Egypt and Saudi Arabia?
Iran will eventually attack Saudi Arabia for her oil (thier already doing this in Yemen) and Mecca & Medina. She will; also attack Israel and that is why there is a growing grand alliance between the Sunni nations and Israel. They will have no choice but to launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran because the US is just...nonexistent and cannot be relied on for sh*t.
If Trump is elected, there is a possibility that this dangerous trend can be reversed. If Hilliary is elected, the Middle East is now FIRMLY in the hands of Russia and Iran. That leaves tiny Israel to fend off these new Evil Empire blocs...alone
Neither or both! Neither if we don't have the money...er...How many trillion are we in debt?; or both...if we did!
The Saudi’s are vermin scum.
The house of Saud deserves to crumble. It’s “royalty needs termination.
