It's important when selling a product to collect user feedback and real-world test results.
ha, what are they going to do about it?! not sell their human killing weapons abroad?!
Likely, either apply diplomatic pressure to the saudis and get them to stop doing these things to migrants or restrict what weapons they can purchase. Or other diplomatic consequences.
The Saudis know we need their oil, they don't give a shit. The way we pander to them is pathetic & they know it.
Yet another reason to move away from fossil fuels as fast as possible.
The United States is a net oil exporter. What we want to do is keep them from getting nuclear weapons so that when their economy collapsed, terrorist groups don't get H-bombs
Oil has nothing to do with it directly, but more the price of oil. OPEC has a huge influence on the global oil price.
The US is actually a net exporter of oil now, and Saudi Arabia makes up only 7% of the imports we do make. Canada is by far our biggest source of imports at 60%, followed by Mexico at 10%.
This wasn’t true before 2020 which is why you’ve seen Biden making more moves like this. We don’t need them as much now.
We do still maintain a diplomatic alliance with them to have access to the Persian Gulf though.
Biden administration wants to know if water is wet. More at 11.
What if they used American planes to kill Americans?
has it always been "name of president administration" in headlines rather than US government? or is this just a recent trend? or is there a difference between the two?
It's always been that way. Some government officials are unelected and therefore not attached to any administration, this is called the "deep state". But generally administration and government are used interchangeably.
Why do you need a investigation?
America makes the most weapons out of any country.
So many attacks can be linked to American weapons.
He knows the answer to this already. I suppose we must go through the motions to pretend it matters to us, though.
