byzantium Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Great, can we get our military out of the Middle East now and stop assisting the Saudis?

No need to come for the camels though camel riding is just a tradition there and camels are cute animals 🐪 BUT YES! Fock Saudi Arabia. Almost all their fellow middle eastern countries hate them for a reason. They help prop up American hegemony in the region while committing horrible war crimes on the regular. Them along with some of the other Gulf countries and Israel can all *** off. 3

Fuck the propaganda and geopolitical alliances of the genocidal supporters. 3
wastedpotential Posted June 13 Posted June 13 This is just a Saudi attempt to utilize some of its leverage over the US to get a bilateral security agreement. The US no longer imports much oil from Saudi Arabia for domestic consumption (what it does import is primarily for refineries which then immediately export it again), and the Saudi's are not currently capable of offering much geo-strategically at the moment to be able to attempt to persuade the US in another manner. I doubt it'll work under Biden (Trump might be more receptive), but reading into this as a the American Empire is falling, the Dollar is dying!! story is missing like 99% of the context (and listening to the people purporting this to be a massive market disruptor is just doing yourself a disservice). Those Dollars won't disappear from the global market, they'll just be invested in a different country or different trade sector. This will only affect a minority of Saudi Arabia's oil trade, let alone that from any other producers, let alone any other commodities. If other countries follow suit (they almost certainly won't), then we can re-evaluate, but until then … 3 1

wenshoo Posted June 13 Posted June 13 This is fake news btw. Interesting how Joe genocide likes to bring up this freedom and democracy thing whenever he has a chance yet his grand vision for mid east peace is granting this petrostate dictatorship a defense treaty + nuclear program. 1

Motherfuck them, the camels they rode in on and the blood money they spent for acceptance around the world. Well that happened with the U.S's and Israel's financial support don't play a fool now. Also an admin being this racist? I thought that wasn't allowed? You may need to go back and learn a few historical facts. The Brits and the U.S were kissing so much Saudi ass ever since.....oil. American military bases built there were used for wars against the middle east....not necessarily "protection". Your only hope for these countries to keep reviving and pushing your collapsed economy is if you were to re-elect that racist businessman yet again. But he's going to jail. OT: Good decision on their part since U.S dollar holds no power now and China has bought all of the U.S's debt recently. Saudi will only flourish from now on if they sell depending on different currencies. China can turn Saudi into an entire industrial artwork if oil trade is direct. Edited June 13 by TouchinFree

Thank you for the unnecessary history lesson. I’m very aware of the geopolitical relationship between the US and the Saudis. And there’s nothing racist about my post. But keep trying. 1

Bubble Tea Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Low key no country is as guilty of terrorism than USA and that's not me being edgy rad-lib, that's just kinda facts. Obvi Saudi is regressive and AWFUL but despite their insane wealth, still less power than USA.

Motherfuck them, the camels they rode in on and the blood money they spent for acceptance around the world. Then don't trade with them, especially don't sell them weapons that they can use against civilians in Yemen. OT - no one should purchase products or services from the Unites States if there is a reasonable alternative. The money will just be used to fund an invasion or a genocide. 2
