Responding to objections to US giving aerial support in Saudi Arabia's genocidal war in Yemen in exchange for $350B arms deal, Sec.of State Pompeo said "you can have strategic partnerships with people who do not share your values." No you can't. It just means you have no values.

a govt that starves entire nations-that has caused 40,000 to die in venezuela that threatens the world that sees its own people suffering and cuts benefits---they have no values they are madmen and must be tossed out
Replying to @marwilliamson
No actually he’s got a point there. I mean we face that everyday, we deal with people we don’t like, we have meetings with people we don’t agree with. Yet, we aim to achieve the same goal. That’s what matters.

So, if he meant Saudis, which I highly doubt, this means business matters more.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Also, they aren’t stupid to go in business with a criminalized country, otherwise, he’ll be dealing with Iran. They know that Saudi Arabia is helping Yemen and not committing any crimes there.

That is part of the reason why we lost our values in the first place! (in a secular sense anyway. Spiritually we had never found our true values in the first place. We were asleep)
