I agree. The US has way too many terrible allies we should never be supporting. After they hacksawed the journalist who was living in exile in America and working for the Washington Post (whose children are American citizens), that was the US' chance to cut ties and once it passed, I started to think they'll probably never cut ties...

I'd like to hope that the Biden administration would respond differently to the Khashoggi execution than the Trump administration did.

But I'm fairly sure that's false hope.

The same Biden admin who is not sanctioning an IDF unit that killed and tortured and elderly American citizen in the West Bank pre Oct. 7? No, they wouldn't do anything differently for sure.

Fist bump

Unfortunately US foreign policy is even less responsive to voter sentiment than domestic policy (and that's already quite a low bar).

Weren't they protests at Universities a few years ago against either UAE or SA in the US? I think they asked for universities to stop investing in Saudi Arabia, it lasted like a week, the Universities said "OK", and that was it?

Not only the US - the same chorus is missing in Europe
