      If you’re also referring to Saudi Arabia, I wouldn’t say the US loves them

        The US doesn’t love them…

        Our politicians do tho. When there’s only two possible options for each election, the wealthy can just “donate” to both.

        And Saudi Arabia is pretty fucking wealthy. What’s a couple tens of millions in PAC donations if it guarantees your guy wins? They’d be stupid to just back one and risk losing.
