The game plan that Trump has with MBS is to let Muslim troops,Saudis,UAE,others fight the terrorists and be up front while we provide logistics and help in the background that way we don't have infidels fighting muslims which is never recognized in the area instead you have muslims fighting muslim terrorists which is acknowledged.
It's a great plan that will work and has been in the works for a while.

That’s fine, and that is what we have been doing with the Kurds.

As for me, I’d rather the 1,800 was going to help the Kurds not the Saudis.

1. It’s disingenuous to say you are cutting our support somewhere because we should not be entering a bunch of new wars there;

2. and then retreat from allies you have fought and died with just when they are about to come under attack, and

3. give even a whole lot more new aid to a nation that can well afford all the military means it needs, on its own.

Who would I rather help defend, the Saudis, or the Kurds. Definitely the Kurds.

I think the U.S. switch of cutting the aid to the Kurds but to turn around and send even more aid to the Saudis is duplicitous. It’s double speak. The same justification for leaving the Kurds to fend for themselves can even more easily be made in the case of the Saudis.
