Why is it okay for virtually all politicians to have ties to Saudi Arabia, a medieval monarchist shithole that stones women?

yes, they have so much money they can do whatever they want

What is hard to understand about this? Yes corrupt financial ties to oil money in the Middle East is an inherent, inoperable part of Capitalism, but it is simply different from being a puppet to a foreign regime. The claim about Russia relates to Trump being beholden to banks in Europe and the government of Russia. Why is it so Goddamn hard for ideologue conservatives to understand why you don't want that? You were so easy to dismiss Obama for completely unfounded allegations of him being beholden to Islam, but here we have a guy clearly hiding the extent of his relationship to a foreign government and it's like banging a two-by-four upside your head and you pretend nothing happened.

No one "sel determines" to be part of Russia. Even the Russians want out.
