They've never been our friend. They promote the Wahhabi brand of Islam, which openly opposes all infidels or outsiders. There are strong indications it was Saudi money that financed 9-11. They are the wealthiest, most powerful Sunni dictatorship in the Middle-East, and the ideological opposite of Iran -- the most powerful Shiia state. They finance and support ISIS. They have refused to accept any Islamic refugees. They routinely behead their own citizens for ideological reasons, for example, voicing any sort of protest against the ruling elite. Torture and brutality against their own people are everyday events.
With a military whose officer corps is trained at U.S. military facilities, and arms purchased from the U.S., the Saudi government's iron-fisted control and oppression of its own people is fully supported by Amerika Inc.
The only reason, of course, for America's "close friendship" with this despicable, tyrannical, anti-westerner government, has been our need for Saudi oil. But that need has greatly diminished as our own oil production capacity has increased. We don't need Saudi oil anymore.
It's time we stop pretending they're an ally.
If anyone wants to defend King Salmon and his bloodthirsty, ultra rich gang, I'm all ears.
Screw Amerika Inc. -- corporate control of our government through campaign financing!
