When terrorists threaten Western interests or the American Military, America will respond.
1500 troops isn't "John Bolton" level.. what are their tasks? then we can evaluate
The Pentagon said only about 900 of the 1,500 troops will be newly deploying and that 600 are already in the region and will be extended, adding none of the additional forces are headed to Iraq or Syria, but all meant for "defensive purposes" to counter Iran threat.
It also said they include Patriot missile battery personnel, manning for surveillance aircraft and engineers.
Also on Friday Trump, saying there is a national emergency because of tensions with Iran, cleared the sale of billions of dollars worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia and other countries, U.S. senators said, despite strong resistance to the plan from both Republicans and Democrats.
The administration has informed congressional committees that it will go ahead with 22 arms deals worth some $8 billion, congressional aides said, sweeping aside a long-standing precedent for congressional review of such sales.

There have been tensions with Iran for years with the Saudis.
Your excuse for Trump doing an end run on Congress (again) is bullshit. He's returning favors to the Saudis for whatever he owes them financially or other reasons. He ignores his own intelligence community on both Putin interference in our elections and the MBS murder of the Post journalist. Then he subverts Congress on the arms sales with a concocted "emergency". Now we'll see even more deaths in Yemen with USA stamped on the bombs.
What gullible fools Trumpanzees are.

MbS is much better for KSA then not - he is reformer . Answering to pressures from KSA's young people.
