How can the State Department be trusted when Saudi Arabia continues to get a free pass?

[Onlaketime]

They commit beheadings and human rights abuses.
They relegate women to the backseat of the bus.
They hang people for being gay.
They were instrumental in the greatest terrorist attack ever committed on US soil, 9/11, which killed 3,000 US citizens.
They supply the ISIS fighters in Syria and Libya.
They are fomenting the current Middle Eastern wars.
They have invaded Yemen and continue to kill innocent civilians in that country.
They are using cluster munitions and massive bombs on civilians.
They have bombed hospitals, schools and infrastructure causing a massive humanitarian crisis.
They have bombed Doctors Without Borders numerous times, killing a number of doctors and children.
They finance the building of massive mosques in Europe to flood the EU with radical Islamic ideaology.
They continue to get a free pass on everything they do.

Why should the State Department be trusted on all the other info it provides that is related to the foreign wars the US is backing when it is backing the Saudi regime? Watch this video and then tell me if something is rotten in Denmark.

1. perhaps you can call putin for advice, he seems to have an interest.

2. This isn't about Russia, this is about the US government

and what we allow here. You can't keep using Putin as an excuse for everything that the US is doing wrong. True American patriotism requires dissent and questioning one's own government. Do you consider yourself a true American patriot? What you are doing is a bit of red baiting. Thanks, but no thanks. The topic is a serious one as Americans and others are dying due to what Saudi Arabia is doing with our governments support.

7. Maybe you should watch the clip

and see what the US State Department spokesperson is having so much trouble defending before you simply jump to help out the government when it is supporting a terrorism supporting nation? Maybe? Or would that make you a Putin supporter too if you actually admitted what the US government is doing to aid Saudi Arabia?

Are you trying to say that one has to be pro Putin to be anti-Saudi terrorism? Just curious, because your argument seems pretty sad if that's what you consider doing your civic duty for the US government. Keep in mind that I say government and not people. The citizens of the US seem to be just as much a victim here when it comes to what our government is doing. Are you on the side of the government or the side of the people?

3. Oil?

Isn't that the underpinning of our relationship with the Saudis?

6. Don't Forget Israel and Pakistan

Two more "allies" we could do without!
