State Department Flak Reveals Key Pillar of Saudi Arabia's Dictatorship: U.S. Silence | Alternet

Lots of good little facts about Saudi Arabia and the US in this brief article written on the occasion of Trumps photo op and pledge of support in that country.  Trumps policy is bad but not different than Hillary, Democrats nor most administrations going back 38 years to the arming of the Taliban in Afghanistan.  Essentially we have been in league in the creation of armed Jihadist groups ever since. Aljazeera has created a US-Saudi relations: A timeline document for further reading.  Big time weapons sales that facilitate the Saudi's horrific and illegal war in Yeman not only arm the Saudis but supply the illicit back channel pipeline that feed all side of the conflict in the middle east. A Stockholm study in February shows once again the US is the top arms purveyor in the world. Yes I think silence if a rational policy when you are this guilty.  Watch the starkly obvious video clip embedded in the link below if you are unclear about how difficult it is for our state department to explain our relationship with Saudi Arabia.
