    Richard Blumenthal Retweeted The Atlantic

    In response to a letter I led w/ @SenJackReed, DOD admits failure to charge Saudi Arabia & UAE for refueling assistance—revealing the US was directly funding the Saudi war in Yemen. The Senate must pass S.J.Res. 54 to end all US support for this brutal humanitarian crisis.https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1071414155591237632 …

        Congressional hearings are now necessary to determine whether DOD was incompetent or disingenuous—or both—in failing to charge Saudis for refueling bombing runs in Yemen.

        If we had any integrity we would have already shut down all our bases in Saudi Arabia. I would like to know why we are even there. They have oil. If we need it we can buy it at the going rate. That's how commerce works.

        If the going rate goes up to $140 a barrel what will we do? Saudis control the OPEC

        Depends how the contract was written. It may not have included a provision for reimbursement. Whether omitted by design or oversight, it would take a diplomatic approach to revise the contract & collect retroactively or in the future, especially w/open talk abt dropping support.
