Saudi Arabia does not deserve an American security guarantee

As Jennifer Kavanagh of Defense Priorities recently argued, partnering with destabilizing actors such as Saudi Arabia will further entangle the U.S. in the Middle East. The U.S. has already contributed to a moral hazard by arming the Saudi Arabia-UAE coalition in its initial 2015 Operation Decisive Storm aerial bombing campaign on Yemen, thereby becoming complicit in killing thousands of civilians.
