We are led by lunatics.

I think this is the real, fundamental issue: How has the U.S. ended up with a foreign policy establishment that it has? Is it the power of money - the profits made by arms manufacturers? Is it some sort of world view that brooks no competition, and in the pursuit of some vision of global supremacy will justify kowtowing to people like MbS, the ends viewed as justifying the means? Do the people that populate the foreign policy establishment even believe their virtue signaling denunciations of countries like Russia and China and Venezuela and Iran? Are they aware of their own hypocrisy?

The sociopaths in charge were content to support Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, even after the Mayaguez Incident and continuing after Vietnam finally got sick of the Khmer Krom's shenanigans.

So MBS is no problem. They don't lose a minute's sleep, and any talk of dismembered journalists is but crocodile tears.
