1/ For many years the US sold arms to Saudi Arabia, under Repub as well as Dems presidents. All of them argued "It's okay because they'll never use them." Well they're using them now. For a $360B arms sale, the US gives aerial support to Saudi's genocidal war in Yemen.

2/ Over 100,000 people have been killed in Yemen, including children. I always feel I have to repeat that again for some reason: GENOCIDE. And it couldn't be happening without us! Congress tried to stop it, actually. But Trump vetoed and they didn't have enough votes to override.

America's terrorist foreign policy is a joke globally.

In WW2 the US allied with Stalin's Soviet Union. KSA is a major regional power that acts as a counter to Iran, an apocalyptic totalitarian regime that wants the destruction of all Western nations. Would you prefer lost American lives instead?
I know this is very cynical, but this dog won't hunt with the American people. Never has.
