This is the most backward and regressive country in the world.
The fact that Europe, US, western media and other busy bodies can sanctimoniously preach human rights and execute wars and destroy entire countries for decades non stop while supporting a regime like SA is a true reflection of how global news and propaganda works. And exposes the silliness of a 'value' based world that exists simply to provide cover for geo-political objectives to cause devastation and death on the ground. These are crimes against humanity.
And mindbogglingly this support has continued even while the Saudis finance the spread of a hateful wahhabist ideology and we spend billions to build surveillance states at home to protect against it.
Yet it is Libya, Iraq and now Syria and Iran - all generations ahead on human rights compared to the Saudis - that are targeted while the Saudi's continue uninterrupted with western support. This 'purge' is happening with US and european support so you don't see the usual hysteria about 'rule of law' and 'human rights'. This is a truly messed up world.
- mangodrunk 9y agoWell said! We (those in the US) should really think about who we are, as I think it's harder to be self reflective about our own doings, but we can see how bad Saudi Arabia is. Saudi Arabia is considered an ally. Saudi Arabia is a leading state sponsor of terrorism and has been exporting an extreme ideology which is the terrorism that is wreaking havoc. How can we consider ourselves the "good guys", if Saudi Arabia (a country that is so obviously doing horrible things) is considered an ally and a country which we (the US) have been arming them with weapons?
