Why is it political taboo to call them both monsters, and advocate for not supporting either until they can sort out the differences themselves?

Because there's an obvious power imbalance and not picking a side just favors the already powerful?

Followed closely by war with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Iran. Escalation is bad for everyone.
