      1. There's been some chatter about what sort of foreign policy the emerging political left in America can have. Here's a project: a popular movement to end the Saudi-American alliance.https://twitter.com/AmichaiStein1/status/1048675609814155264 …

      2. The Saudi-American alliance has enormous bipartisan elite support (just take a look at the output of many think tanks) but there's a wellspring of popular opposition to it among people of many different political stripes.

      3. We saw a prototype of how this could work in Canada, with rising public pressure forcing Canadian government to take a harder stance on Saudi human rights.

      4. Severing the alliance won't be easy. It has enormous support with military industrial complex, arms industry, the higher reaches of journalism (i.e. Tom Friedman). But opponents have a secret weapon: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

      5. The fact is that Mohammed bin Salman is even more touchy than most autocrats. Touchier than a flesh wound. He can't abide criticism. Even very mild sanction from USA would set him off.

          We’d have to move towards more energy independence, but that’s been a goal of every administration since we became oil dependent.

          left of stupidity and hypocrisy, US has horrible alliance even actors with worse blood but this new Saudi regime has crossed new lines, MBS doesn't exist on his own the UAE regime is closely intertwined with MBS, you can't break with Saudi not UAE

          You realize this would tank the dollar? I mean I don’t disagree but don’t see it happening. We could definitely force their hand in some way but just don’t see cutting off relationship with them happening, even if I would be in favor of it.

          Why exactly do we consider Saudi Arabia an ally? Is it just because of oil and Iran?
