Trump is escalating with Iran for Isreal and Saudi Arabia. Same shit. Next time Iran is in the news for provoking remember that we were doing it first.
Iran proxies shoot in the direction of our boats, omg we need to do something about Iran. We send in ground troops and cruise missiles, we've only been nice, why are these Huthi attacking us?
Tell Saudi Arabia and Isreal to fight their own fucking wars. They have the money. They had spare money to spend on our politicians.

You seem to not grasp the big picture here. Both the Sunnis and the Shia want us enslaved and our civilization based on Freedom and the rule of SECULAR laws brought down. They want you either paying a special tax for not being Muslim or you converting to Islam.
And this has been the reality for 1400 years and counting.
So when you say "we were doing it first" then you really have it so very, very wrong.
These people of Islam have a political ideology that has no choice but to come after us when and if it has the means. That is our reality.

Then why are we helping the Sauds (Sunni) who export their Islam into our society much more prolifically and engage in more terrorism in our regions than do the Shia.
I'm not saying Shia Islam isn't dangerous. I'm saying by very objective measures Sunni Islam in the here and now is either more so or equally dangerous, yet our military gets misappropriated as if it's fighting terrorism to fight on the side of the people that are the more immediate danger. Somebody isn't being honest with us when that happens. And right now the buck would stop with Trump. Either things have to change or we have to assume he's one of the very people we fought to kick out. Different words same behavior shouldn't make us happy.

How fucked up is it that Israel and Saudi Arabia are on the same side in this?

When it comes to geopolitics there are only convergent and divergent interests
Like on a battle field, friendly fire aside, your "friends" are those shooting at the same stuff as you
The rest is literature, wishful thinking, and bread and circus for the masses

They are frequently on the same page on a lot of things... lest we forget who is their biggest ally and endorser.

They are fighting their own wars. They just don't have the people to fight the wars. They have the money for it. Israel
runsran us for years so we would do their bidding.
