Refusing to sell our merchandise to a long time ally, is madness. I would suggest that you look more closely at who the Saudis are fighting; and where that enemy of the Saudi’s stands in respect to American interests. (And by the way, do you think that Russia or China would not be very happy to fill in, with sales to the market you disdain? Or for that matter the French or Swedes? Not sure about the Swedes, of course, they have a wackier Government; but Saudi money works for most countries.)
Frankly, I’m not going to buy that “ally” schtick one bit longer. We all know who supported the 19 hickers. And I won’t be a part of his madness any more. In the end these “allys” are still Muslims and that is the crux of the world’s problems right now.
Long time ally...lol. They are an enemy and use us so their brand of Islam keeps the upper hand. They are behind 9/11, Boston, Syria. Almost every single mosque in America is Saudi funded Wahabbist. They bribe our leaders. They beat people for blogging. They keep Christianity illegal. They have no voting rights. Women need permission to travel and may not drive. Homos are executed.
That’s some “ally”.
