Chris Murphy on Saudi Arabia: 'There's got to be consequences'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The United States should "rethink" arms sales to Saudi Arabia, following the kingdom's support for Russia in the war against Ukraine, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said Sunday.

"For years, we’ve looked the other way as Saudi Arabia has chopped up journalists, has engaged in massive political oppression, for one reason: We wanted to know that when the chips were down ... the Saudis would choose us instead of Russia," Murphy said on ABC's "This Week." "Well, they didn't."

He added, "There's gotta be consequences for that."

Murphy's comments followed a decision announced last week by OPEC+ countries, including Saudi Arabia, to cut production by 2 million barrels of oil per day starting next month. That move is seen as favoring Russia, which is largely using its income from oil production to fuel the war against Ukraine; reduced production will raise prices.

6. Why aren't politicians ever direct?

"There's gotta be consequences for that." What does that mean? Why doesn't he say what he thinks the consequences should be?

"The United States should "rethink" arms sales" Why not just say arm sales should be ended? What does "rethink" mean?
