Come on now, give me a break. This is a thinly veiled attempt to hold up the West by the Saudis. These people are profoundly disingenuous, that is they are liars and thugs and bullies. Why are we letting them get away with this nonsense. I guess it is because our politicians are weak, traitorous, incompetent cowards, who pander for votes and take money from the Saudis against the people they are supposed to represent. It would be so uplifting if we were to take the politicians to the steps of the Capitol and shoot them in full view of the people!

USIP:

This is economic warfare, pure and simple. What are they going to try on next? To try and sue the chocolate manufacturers for the health care of all obese Saudi chocolate lovers? As you said: Give me a break!
