failing to react to terror attacksThe former head of Saudi intelligence publicly slammed President Joe Biden's administration on Sunday, saying the US let his country down by failing to respond to terror attacks on the Arabian Peninsula last year.
Relations between Saudi Arabia and the US have plummeted since Biden took power: Biden has publicly admonished Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over human-rights abuses saying on the 2020 campaign trail that he would make the kingdom a "pariah" and declaring the prince not Biden's counterpart and ended US support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
In turn, MBS has reportedly ignored Biden's phone calls and said he doesn't care what Biden thinks of him.
One key point of contention is that the Saudis feel the US offered a weak response to a series of attacks on the Arabian Peninsula from the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in 2021, which killed three civilians and injured six.

(21,635 posts)killed three and injured 6? in the USA we call that a little league game. not trying to make light of gun violence but just pointing out that we don't even give a shit about our own citizens, but they want us to invade iran or some shit over an attack that killed a few saudis? Haven't we supplied them with enough weapons for their lazy asses to do their own work? Fuck off.

(2,407 posts)The Saudis would be a better recipient of our attentions in that regard. And if we seized Saud family assets, we really could pay for the war.
One problem, of course, is that we've armed them with our stuff.
Surgical drone strikes, maybe?
Then we'd have to go in to restore order after all the Saud family was dead or living in their villas in some warm climate.
Sorry.... I got carried away.
