This short sighted vote will give Iran the upper hand in Yemen. Wish the USA would make up its mind if Iran is the chief threat in the Middle East or not. If so, they need the Saudis on board. This self defeating vote will probably cause them to look elsewhere for security guarantees. And into the breach will step China. Dumbass move
There’s only one question to be asked: Who were the Republicans?
And for that reason, President Trump will either not implement the intent of Congress (particularly the Senate), or he will be so dilatory in the application it would amount to the same thing.
The application of realpolitik, while it may trouble the purists and the ideologues, is really the only option here. The Saudi Royals may be SOB’s, but for now, they are OUR SOB’s.
The Iranians are very definitely much worse. This is the Middle East, after all, and the enemy of my enemy is, well. you know the rest of the syllogism.
