The Saudis are kept in power to ensure that Iran doesn't take over the region. It's a balance. Obama sided more with Iran, whereas Trump sides more with Saudi Arabia. I do think that some of the equipment will either be "stolen or lost" and wind up in the hands of bad people. That's the nature of doing business in these regions though.

Balance? don't you think the region can balance itself? It's a power play, clear and simple. Obama sought more cooperation with Iran because the economic blockade is pointless, and Obama still maintained good relations with the Saudi's. "Stolen or lost"? In Saudi Arabia? You know they can chop your head of for small transgressions right? The Saudi government is directly involved with many of these terrorist groups.

Directly, maybe. Not involved officially. Hence why I used "stolen or lost", meaning that someone in the chain got paid off for the goods.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
