16. I wouldn't ally with Saudi Arabia

Sep 2019

Who has been bombing Yemen on a daily basis with US made weapons and suddenly there is this big controversy when Houthis launch an attack back.

In Saudi Arabia there is an ultraconservative sect from the 1700s ruling over sites such as Mecca & Medina so there's going to be war & now there's oil involved so the alliance is about money. The US wouldn't allow regime change there even they might nationalize oil production and kick out the oil companies which is what Iran did but the excuse back then for regime change was that they could be a puppet of the Soviet Union.
