I find it strange that there isn't a larger chorus in the US demanding to cut ties with Saudi Arabia over their perpetual and unapologetic human rights abuses. I guess all that money they spend on PR in the West has paid off.

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...

- tdeck 2y agoUnfortunately US foreign policy is even less responsive to voter sentiment than domestic policy (and that's already quite a low bar).
- orwin 2y agoWeren'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?
