This is the most infuriating thing to me. Everyone is aware of this, yet it never comes up in politics and the US keeps pretending that the Saudis are our great allies. I don't understand it one bit.
Perhaps because it's more elaborate than it seems, as evidenced by a century of failed nation-building.
House of Saud is the most western-oriented major actor in the country. If US turns back on them, SA will quickly turn into another ISIS.
And the US cares for that, as if Divide and Conquer is not a thing? Surely there are ulterior motives at play.
But I keep hearing how they are the ones funding all the madrassas etc.
