The Yemen rebels are a proxy for Iran, and Iran and the Saudis are battling for hegemony in the Middle East.
Both regimes are horror shows, of course.
The US remains tied to the Nixon petrodollar policy (where the Saudis agreed to accept payment for their oil in dollars)—and given the insane national debt these days—this has created a situation where the entire world economy’s survival requires the US kissing the ring of the Saudis.
That is why Bidet’s moral outrage at the Saudi royal family is laughable—there is _nothing_ he can do about it.

Doesn’t stop Joe from comically puffing out his chest and leading with that glass jaw of his.
