Trump Vows 'Strong Action' Against Iran, Sidesteps Saudis
When questioned about Iran potentially executing protesters, Donald Trump declared, 'We will take very strong action if they do such a thing.' This moral indignation from a leader whose administration sold billions in arms to Saudi Arabia , a nation notorious for its public beheadings and executions , rings with the hollow echo of convenient outrage. One might wonder if 'strong action' only
applies to countries without strategic oil reserves or lucrative arms deals. This selective outrage parallels decades of U.S. foreign policy: condemnations for adversaries, deafening silence or even support for allies, regardless of their human rights records. It seems the criteria for 'very strong action' isn't ethical consistency but, perhaps, a quarterly financial report from defense
contractors.
