Give the republicunts a little time, Lad. They will get to work on those, too. What they feel when then see Saudi Arabia is not fear, it is envy.
I think it is BOTH fear and envy.
I don't even like Bibi, I think he is simply a Israeli version of 45.
Bibi panders to his Jewish right wing like 45 panders to our Christian right wing.
Even outside the issue of politics, one thing I hate about my species, is that on the one hand we have this awesome capability WHEN we choose, to be compassionate, but when conflict arises, far too often, that given society will pick a bully to lead and call them a hero.
The best diplomats in our species history are not the ones who masturbate over the prospect of conquest, but seek all avenues of diplomacy.
Just like a doctor who is ethical, they don't seek volume to make money, they don't brag about their work, the ethical ones would prefer you not need an appointment.
The world needs more leaders who think like that and less cult of personality worship.
