The implication of OP seems to be that prior to this administration, we would have been tough with the Saudis. But that is manifestly false.

I don't think that. We've been giving them a pass since FDR.
-
I don't think that either. It's relative, not absolute. The US has never been especially tough with the Saudis--and there are some interesting arguments for why that's the right choice--but this admin is encouraging Saudis' worst impulses in a way previous admins didn't.

A complicating factor here is that they can always go to unscrupulous China if they get too annoyed with all this human rights talk and pressures to curb their theocratic awfulness. So maybe we are in a bind.

We are living in the misinformation age & America has become exactly what it has professed to despise. I'm not saying it happen since Trump, but it certainly escalated with Trump. Just as well. US exceptionalism was always a big fat lie.
