YUP..!
They regard us as PISS BOYS.
They want us to fight THEIR wars.
It's similar to Yemen, where the men actually fighting are mercs, mostly from Peru.

You can go down a laundry list of things that show that even as much as the policy establishment claims Saudi Arabia is an ally of the United States and they’re battling terrorism and all of these things — they’re simply not true,” Gabbard told Hill.TV in an interview that aired on Friday.
“Their interests are not serving the interest of the American people,” she continued.
Gabbard accused Saudi Arabia of deliberately pushing the U.S. toward a war with Iran amid escalating tensions between the two nations.
Her comments come after Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman posed next to each other for a photo of world leaders at the Group of 20 summit in Japan. The two leaders were spotted exchanging pleasantries and making conversation.

Yet she is critical of Trump's signature anti-establishment moves. Among them being pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal and boldly solidifying America's commitment to Jerusalem.
The Gabbards of the world would rather we play nice with the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, and others...
So how should Trump respond to her points about Saudi Arabia?
Does she think Iran is an ally. Does she think Israel is not on our side. Inquiring minds would like to know.
They are a customer.

So what’s your alternative?
Is Israel our actual enemy? Is Iran our ally? Should we re-establish Obama’s Nuclear Deal with them?
Given the choice between Iran, which openly supports Islamic terrorism, and Saudi Arabia, which officially does not (but secretly does) ‘pretending’ to be a Saudi ally is the only logical choice.
Not going to be lectured by any demoncRAT about playing “pretend”
She is correct.

Saudi Arabia keeps their friends close and their enemies even closer.
The battle lines in the Saudi Kingdom mostly settle around the fundamentalist islamics versus those open to reforms - with a healthy dollop of money-grabbing on both sides.
Obama went over there and made major speech slamming his own country after he bowed to their king and she never said a word
WELL SAID! And at the end of the day the likes of Tulsi and Yang and other so-called moderates hold to the main tenets of the party: abortion on demand, socialism, illegal immigration unabated, replacement of our Judeo-Christian social fabric with secular/new-age ideals, etc...The very things ruining our country from within.
She actually said Trump was Saudi Arabia’s Bitch, so I doubt there is anything he could say or do that would placate this woman. I doubt anyone is naïve enough to think Saudi Arabia acts in our best interests, but we can work with them and they give us a foothold in the Middle East that we need. It’s called diplomacy, and has been a policy of the US government for a very long time. If Gabbard doesn’t understand that basic concept she is definitely not ready for prime time.
Yep. And if she keeps saying things like this she’ll give Trump a run for the money.
Tulsi is forgetting Trump’s first foreign trip and what he clearly accomplished there.
A lot of people either forgot that, or never knew about it.
A Dem got something right. Pretend alliance w/ the home of the most radical form of Islam; for the sake of EU and other actual allies...
We are their blue-eyed mercenaries.
They keep their oil trade in US dollars, and buy weapons and other things from American companies. We in turn help them maintain and grow Sunni (and thus Saudi) supremacy in the Muslim world. Their strategic projection consists of the USA, and also their ability to form and direct groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS to achieve their foreign policy aims.
Is it a good deal for the USA? I’ll let others judge.
