I understand why the Kurds need our help and I know how heroically they worked with us in Syria, and Iraq. But tell me again why the Saudis - the richest country in the Middle East - are incapable if fighting for themselves.

The game plan that Trump has with MBS is to let Muslim troops,Saudis,UAE,others fight the terrorists and be up front while we provide logistics and help in the background that way we don't have infidels fighting muslims which is never recognized in the area instead you have muslims fighting muslim terrorists which is acknowledged.
It's a great plan that will work and has been in the works for a while.

Seems you missed there are 2 Kurd factions. One is hard core Islamists, the other moderate and they fight amongst each other. Not only those are in Syria, but Assad and his civil war, Russians, Turks, Iranians, and others I don't remember. I'm glad to get out that mess. It was supposed to be for 30 days.

I agree about the Saudis. Let them deal with it. The first major attack against Israel, we go all out and kill them all with MOABs and other bunker busters. Let all the muslim hoards kill each other, just don't frick with Israel.

“But tell me again why the Saudis - the richest country in the Middle East - are incapable if fighting for themselves.”

They are outnumbered by our common enemy, the “Death to America” mullah regime in Iran.

This is part of a long-planned and mutually agreed upon strategic campaign against Iran, which included some security guarantees for the Saudis, for their participation. They have already taken some big hits.
