Nevermind that the saudi state is a joke that has been backbiting us for decades. Nevermind that the Saudis prop up Wahabism which is the source of radicalized islam Nevermjnd that the Saudi state is in a really unstable state so giving them lots of weapons is just an awful idea. Nevermind that Iran just re elected a reform minded president who WANTS a closer relationship with the US. We should just double down on how wevr always done things. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg <cite>Eddv posted [p:879493475] in Politics C...
