In the past, the US funded the military efforts of strategic allies for diplomatic purposes. Due to America's increased energy independence, why should we continually fund nations that have killed thousands of civilians? There are two approaches to foreign policy that can be used with nations similar to Saudi Arabia. Help them, and secure a strategic alliance, or refuse to fund them. Let the oil giant fund its own sins. The American Taxpayer should not fund it for them. Halting military agreements to nations like Saudi Arabia may prevent more civilian casualties. The other side for Taxpayers to consider, is a larger threat to our national security by ending funds and agreements to allies that commit war crimes.
