The United States relationship with the Saudi regime isn’t the most palatable, however, they are our ally......why?
Saudi Arabia hates Iran and are actively fighting them along w/ Jordan & Egypt.
Iran is a threat to the Middle East......especially Israel.
There is no doubt Saudi Arabia is doing terrible things, but they were the United States ally in the first Gulf War and World War 2 and the Saudis are helping us now by keeping Iran in check.
In the choice between bad (Saudi Arabia) and worse (Iran), a rational person/country will choose bad just to avoid worse.
