    Iran is fighting Israel. They are the best country in the Middle East.

    Fun to see Democrats simping for Saudi to placate Israel now.

      If you can’t make an argument without a political scape goat being attached to it, then it’s a bad argument.

      Trumps son took 2 billion from the Saudis against the financial advice and suggestions of every expert they hired. It was, by all accounts, the largest in plain sight bribe ever witnessed.

      Your argument is only a Dem problem if you cherry pick their name to attach to it.

        Yes Fox News went on a hardline propaganda tour to whitewash the Saudi government a few years ago. Democrats coming around to it is what is surprising.

        Does every negative comment about Democrats need a caviat also condemning Republicans to be valid?

          Your comment was about how bad it is to cater to the Saudis.

          Shitting on Dems isn’t needed to make that point. At all.

          Unless your point was actually about shitting on Dems in the first place, and using the Saudis as an excuse.

          Which is the point I was making, and now you are too:

          Does every negative comment about Democrats need a caviat also condemning Republicans to be valid?

          You can shit on the Saudis without shitting on a political party.

          Instead, you’re just using “Saudis bad” as an excuse to attack Dems.

          How does that do anything to further your point about the Saudis being awful? Your point is lost, and you just sound like every other brainwashed American.
