My Opinion
I just want to state that I am not a fan of sanctions against Saudi Arabia. I do not believe in punishing the people of a nation for the crimes of their gov. But I am for ending arms sales to them as well as ending military assistance.

The Sanctions aren't on the Saudi People. They are on the top people of the Saud Government. That were involved in the Killing of the MB Criminal. That got tricked going into a Turkey Embassy.

Oh and the measure doesn't mean much if McConnell doesn't take the vote to the floor. Moreover you forgot the Repubs that did not sign onto the Resolution put forth by Graham and Feinstein.


The measure was introduced by Sens. Lindsey Graham (https://thehill.com/people/lindsey-graham) (R-S.C.), Dianne Feinstein (https://thehill.com/people/dianne-feinstein) (D-Calif.), Marco Rubio (https://thehill.com/people/marco-rubio) (R-Fla.), Ed Markey (https://thehill.com/people/ed-markey) (D-Mass.), Todd Young (https://thehill.com/people/todd-young) (R-Ind.) and Christopher Coons (https://thehill.com/people/christopher-coons) (D-Del.).


Passage of the measure would be a significant break from President Trump (https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump), who used a statement late last month to cast doubt on the crown prince's involvement in the killing, saying "we may never know" the facts around Khashoggi's death.....snip~

The US should stay out of the Yemeni civil war.

What do you think Pete.....is it in the best interest of the US to end Saudi Arms sales? Do they actually think that the US ending arms sales to the Saud that they wont get weapons to continue their war in Yemen.


Ask them what happens when the Saud gets the weapons from the Russians and or Chinese. What will they think of next when their first thought doesn't work out like they thought.

President Trump's response seems reasonable. The sanctions lets SA know we are unhappy and hurts the people sanctioned.. There isn't much more we can do to hurt them. China will sell them all the arms they need so that would be an empty gesture.
