The United States was told last year that Saudi security forces were shooting, shelling and abusing groups of migrants, but it chose not to raise the issue publicly.
Last night I was learning about how India started buying lots of Russian oil after everyone sanctioned them for Ukraine. I was shaking my head at India like “thanks a lot India - why the fuck can’t you show a little backbone and stand up for what’s right?”
And then I remembered alllll the times the US has looked the other way because some atrocity didn’t impact their geopolitical interests.
