So please explain why Trump loves them.

The Saudis butchered a journalist alive but Trump defends them.

17 of the 19 suicide terrorists of 911 who slaughtered 3000 Americans were from Saudi but yet Trump praises them.

And his son-in-law obviously benefitted from the cozy relationship...

Saudi Arabia is ALL bad. There isn’t a single redeeming quality about Saudi Arabia. Nothing.

We should be embarrassing to be their lackeys.

Oil and biggest purchaser of US weapon. Every US administration is in bed with the Saudis. Trump is no different than his previous predecessors.

Of course you already know this, but orange man bad.

Ever heard "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"?

And mind you, all the Presidents have been very friendly with the Saudis every since they found their black gold. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if one of those Presidents made a deal with Saudi for some of their residents to fly planes into the WTC so he can use it to get the American people riled up to go back to Iraq.

Arming the country that is out to both destroy you and buy you....is not a good idea.

Many of these threads ask "what is wrong with capitalism?".

Well, you have your answer.

I don’t care who is going to be the next POTUS.

No POTUS is going to stop dealing with the Saudi’s. You are talking about billions of dollars in oil and weapon sale, and who knows how many American jobs at at risk if we stop dealing with the Saudis. Not to mention the Saudis are keeping not-so-friendly-to-Americans middle eastern countries in check.

The Saudis have us by the nuts.

The Saudis would sell us the oil no matter what. They can either sell the oil or drink it, and oil isn’t potable last I remember.

We’re being played for fools by the Saudis, and it’s high time that we put an end to it.

Per the NBC News article you linked, the opening paragraph said:
Quote:
Textbooks for high school students in Saudi Arabia promote hatred against Jews, Christians, women, homosexual men and other Muslim sects despite repeated promises to return the country to a more moderate form of Islam, according to a report released Tuesday.
Christianity and Judaism are not exactly religions of peace either seeing as they have had their share of violent episodes throughout their histories.
