So can you explain us why Saudi Arabia an absolute monarchy that oppress at least half of its population (women), kill everyone speaking against the king is one of the best US ally?
Having such double standard undermine greatly US credibility.
- themacguffinman 7y agoI don't support the US' alliance with Saudi Arabia. What's your point? What does this have to do with my dislike of China's government?
- ptah 7y agoit is not about you personally, i think OP refers to american foreign policy
- themacguffinman 7y agoI should rephrase: what does the US govt's alliance with Saudi Arabia's govt have to do with American/Western people's dislike of the Chinese govt?

- repolfx 7y agoThere is no chance of Saudi Arabia becoming a great world power any time soon. Fear is the combination of disagreement and power. The USA may disagree with how Saudi Arabia runs things but the KSA has no real power, so it doesn't get much attention and can be an "ally of convenience".
- pinkfoot 7y ago> There is no chance of Saudi Arabia becoming a great world power any time soon No in the conventional sense, but they have spread their ideology to such an extent that most people on earth won't draw a cartoon of a particular historical character using their real name. That's real power projection, all fear.
