The West particularly the US, if it wants to restore its image as a proponent of freedom and democracy and counter the growing geopolitical influence of China at global stage, will have to reconsider its relationship with KSA. There is no way in which West can acclaim its moral policing stature in the global arena if KSA is allowed to continue barbaric customs and practices as rules of law. West has made severe human rights abuse allegations against China. Meanwhile KSA literally chops off heads in public places with a fucking sword, stones women to death in public places for adultery, treats women as second class citizens by compelling them to always be in custody of a male and many other barbaric laws and yet the entire West calls KSA its ally. This kind of double standards makes people question the West's sincerity when dealing with human rights abuse. It makes people think that human rights is just a propaganda tool that the West props up when-ever it wants a regime change and the West doesn't really care about human rights. West already lost its war of ideas in Syria where governments from Brussels to Washington couldn't muster up public support to oust a ruler who was gassing children. People just asked "well if you are so for human rights, then why dont you take action against KSA?." The establishment couldn't muster up a convincing answer to this question and couldn't rally its electorate for a war. Also KSA's cozy relationship with West and how KSA makes US fight its war signals to other countries that as long as you have pockets big enough to buy politicians, lobbyists, bankers etc, US will be your ally even if pedophilia is legal and practiced in the country. Sickening and damn shame.
