    You had me in the first half. Then you pissed all over it by blaming “eu allies” instead of the actual ones at fault. Saudis, Israel, conservativism, etc. Edit: meant us allies, not eu

      Without once mentioning Iran either which is certainly a deliberate choice considering the subject.

      You might reread my last sentence, I didn’t say anything about the EU.

      The amount of material the US supplies to both Israel and the Saudis amounts to complicity. The tendency for the US to covertly cause coups throughout the world goes beyond complicity. The resulting government are almost always authoritarian and always support US economic interest. If Israel and the Saudis weren’t there to serve the US’s interests they would install someone who would.

      I wish it was a simple issue of conservatism in the states causing this problem but is seems to be nonpartisan.
