And now there is a report that we are deploying 2000 troops to Saudia Arabia to assist in their defense against Iran.
So much for avoiding foreign entanglements and ending the endless wars. Well, we will end them if you want to kill Kurds, apparently, but not if you have actually killed journalists, bred the sort of fanaticism that led to 9-11 and sell us oil while buying our bullets. Then we will entangle ourselves at great length.
I am not naive and I realize that consistent moral standards are almost, if not actually, impossible in foreign affairs. National security should come first. It might be that assisting S.A is a good idea long run, but it looks so bad to do this days after stepping aside like a matador so turkey the raging bull can gore the Kurds.
