Isn't it curious how little we've heard from conservatives about Trump ceding the authority to put the military into action to MBS? Remember how jacked out of shape conservatives got when U.S. troops participated in NATO or UN military maneuvers because they might be ordered around by officers who weren't Americans? But going to war on the say-so of MBS is okey-dokey with them.
