From article:
First, the very idea of a U.S. defense pact with Saudi Arabia—a treaty-bound assurance that the United States will come to the royal family’s defense if their country is attacked, in the same way that we have pledged to defend any member of NATO that comes under attack—is, and should be, a non-starter.
Imagine sending your son or daughter, or signing up yourself to serve your country, only to die far from home in the service of … Saudi Arabia.
