Don’t know how factual Buchanan’s assertions are, but I’ve not yet drawn any conclusions regarding the wisdom of our current policy. Would other countries fill the void and sell the Saudis advanced weaponry if we choose to reduce our involvement? I’m not sure Russia would if the battle in Yemen is indeed a proxy war between Iran and SA. Hard to imagine Russia would support both Iran and SA.
Would the Western European countries sell SA arms? I’m not so sure.
If anyone has any information that would clarify this for me (us), I would appreciate your sharing. All the better if you can source it.
It isn’t just the question of arms purchases, it’s about helping us fight against the Muslim terrorists, including Iran.

You think it’s smart for a Democrat congress to take over US foreign policy and cut ties to Saudi over a pretense such as this?
