We’ll have to agree to disagree. Saudi Arabia is an enemy, not a friend. The same with Turkey.
SA is a radical Islamic state because their laws originate from a fundamentalist, strict view of Islam. The Saudi royals impose a cruel, fundamentalist theocracy over the people. Ironically, the males of the House of Saud break those same laws, raping & murdering without any consequences.
Several years ago a girls’ school in SA caught fire. The girls were forbidden from escaping because they weren’t wearing the black garbage bags they are forced to wear. IMO, that is unacceptable & proves what an evil country SA is.
I don’t care how many weapons the Sauds purchase from us. I’m not a fan of profiting from arm sales to rogue nations such as SA. Those same weapons are being used to kill Christians & Jews & to spread Wahabbism. I’m deeply ashamed of our relationship with the Saudis.
We need to become Energy independent & drill in the U.S, then we could tell the Sauds to go to hell. But, unfortunately, that’ll never happen because it makes too much sense.
Enemies? You have no idea of our relationship with the Saudis including our military and economic ties. Turkey is a member of NATO.

Most of our oil comes from Canada, Mexico, and Venezuela. It really doesn't matter where the oil comes from since oil is a global commodity. The Saudi oil will just go some place else.
