Saudi Arabia are our allies, yet they have been systematically funding terrorism (even publishing terrorist textbooks for children) for decades and are not a true ally. Didn't 17 of the Saudi MILITARY OFFICERS on our naval base get caught with child porn while all of them frequented terrorist sites. This is ingrained in their people and government.
I've been wondering why Trump has been so Saudi friendly, and I'm not happy about it. I am guessing there are some behind the scenes promises of change from them.
Everything has changed after 2016 - the Saudi swamp was the first to start getting drained, and MbS is the reformer the region certainly needs. Their past is terrible, but their future is bright...

Its a lot easier to drain their swamp. Not as much red tape and it is common for authoritative and even violent changes in power.
Saudis also did the Oil Embargo against the USA in 1974!!!
