Nobody cares but here you go.

Some care. The House and senate cared enough to pass a resolution against continued US military activity with S. Arabia because of it, but Mr. President vetoed it. It's one of only two vetoes Trump has issued. I think a lot of people would care if they knew about it. Saudi Arabia's royal family is a corrupt, thug regime.

I'm familiar with those tactics. Most of those in the Arab/NE Africa do not think the way you or I do and it takes most westerners years to allow themselves to understand it if it all - a kind of arrogance built in to western thinking. The ME are wonderful and love their families as much as you or I do but there is a significant difference in value/honor. Not better/worse, just really really different and surprisingly difficult to distinguish at first.To us their treatment of females, LGTB, and those not part of their group is terrible. To them our love of virtue signalling over the safety/future of our countries, families, way of live, and lives of our soldiers is an unmatched gift of a game changer. Still, it's a beautiful area of the world with incredible history. If you can, live there for at least two years and before you go study your ancient history and read a book like "From Beirut to Jerusalem". You'll be glad you went and your life's perspective will have been changed forever.
