Despite the repressive nature of the Saudi regime, for decades U.S. administrations
have supported the Saudi government both diplomatically and militarily. Under
Obama alone, weapons sales to the Saudis reached a whopping $115 billion.

Concerned over the high rate of civilian casualties, on December 12 the White
House took the rare step of stopping the sale of 16,000 guided munition kits.
This is a great step forward, but it represents only a small fraction of total
U.S. weapons sales to the Saudi regime.
