Trump ditched the Kurds this week saying they ‘didn’t help us in WW2’. And promptly sent thousands of troops to help the Saudis potentially fight Iran. Right-thinking Americans were outraged. The British Twitterati used humour:
‘Fair enough. After everything Saudi did in Normandy in 1944’
‘The sequences with the camel riding cavalry in Saving Private Ryan…so memorable’
‘Remembering that Great War ace, Lawrence of Saudi Arabia’
‘Why should we listen to someone who wasn’t even at the Battle of Waterloo’
