So we're sending British military forces to join in a war on the side of Saudi Arabia, a brutally repressive authoritarian regime that murders journalists, but we can't send British military forces to join in a war on the side of Ukraine, a country that is literally defending Europe against an existential threat?
Please make it make sense.

@statsguy@mas.to It's political posturing as a reliable ally after Trump cancelled the bombing of the Houthis yesterday. They've already got about 15 refuelling tankers and seven AWACS. The Saudis really don't need this militarily.
