 "the US has approved over $90 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia since 2010. In 2014 alone, the US approved over $2.2 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia."

Sounds like arms sales to Saudi Arabia have massively declined recently despite the tone of this sentence. Anyway what is the point of this thread? Everyone knows the Saudi government is brutal and terrible and incredibly stupid, you can't change the fact that the U.S. will be close with them as long as they have stupid amounts of oil.

Mohammad "but they elected me dictator!" Mosaddegh



Also how does overthrowing a military dictator and replacing him a weak caretaker government that actually held democratic elections count as interfering with democracy?

This is, to say at a minimum, an incredibly strange reading of the coup d'etat :psyduck:
