It is the absolute height of hypocrisy to sanction Iran for their oppressive regime while cozying up to Saudi Arabia when they impose harsh Sharia law and murder journalists. Yes, please bring on the economic consequences. Trump is asking farmers in the midwest to take a hit while imposing trade tariffs - why is it unreasonable to ask the same to sanction SA, who's economic influence is much smaller than China's in the U.S. ?
