Nicholas Krisoff devotes the entirety of his New York Times column to a catalogue of the horrors of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen:
We Americans have sometimes wondered how Russia can possibly be so Machiavellian as to support its Syrian government allies as they bomb and starve civilians. Yet we’re doing the same thing with Saudi Arabia, and it’s just as unconscionable when we’re the ones complicit in war crimes.
Saudi Arabia’s war against Yemen is and always has been illegal and immoral. Not only shouldn’t we be supporting it but we should be denouncing it. Not only are the Saudis not our friends they are the supporters of much of the terrorism and Islamist activity worldwide.
That should be apparent regardless of who’s president and regardless of the letter behind the president’s name. Sadly, apparently not.
