32. "But SA is an ally, Russia is not"

Uh, no, that's not the reason. Not by a longshot.

It's because nobody here has any reason or desire to defend Saudi Arabia. It doesn't get discussed because there's no interest in debate.

Russia, on the other hand, gets supporters, and that alone encourages debate.
