Hmm who could have seen that kissing a regressive monarchy’s ass for far too long would bite us in the ass?
Anybody who realized how involved the Saudi Royal family and their intelligence agency was with 9/11 and anyone who understood how the Saudi’s were spreading the extremist breeding Wahhabism and funding the building Wahhabist schools.
The Saudis were always pieces of shit and horrible allies for the West.
We flirted with Israel, Saudi Arabia to control Iran and the middle east and now everyone is fucking us over.
We should have just helped the Shah stamp out the Islamic revolution instead and stuck with Iran as a regional Allie.
And now after saying that I have a dirty Henry Kissinger feeling.
Uh, no. Wtf. The Shah was an oppressive authoritarian. That’s one of the reasons why Iran is pissed at us. We should have let them nationalize their oil industry and not overthrown their democratically elected leader.

O rly now? Hmm such a difference from now, lol.
But fr I meant Mohammad Mosaddeq, not that shah, just forgot about which one we overthrew.
That’s geopolitics for you. You’re probably valuing human rights, and they were probably valuing cash, but the means are the same.
Thx for the fair words, but yeah geopolitics is a dirty game, as far as I’m concerned democracy and freedom of speech are worth fighting or dying for.
The US has been fucking the world over for the last hundred years, what did you expect?
Merica, world police just like our normal police
The PRICKS alliance sounds appropriate.
Saudi Arabia lol… What about their proxy war with Iran in Yemen? What about the US bases in Saudi Arabia?
MBS just comes off as grossly incompetent nepobaby. What is he doing?
the guy’s a moron. he’s seriously trying to build a city that is one huge skyscraper a block wide and…110 miles long…in the fucking Arabian desert. whoever got him to agree to that shit is ripping him off so bad. Google “The Line Saudi Arabia” or “NEOM” which is seriously short for Neo-Mohammed.
They don’t know we can brick all of that gear they bought?
We are going to come to point where it the USA vs the world. Wonder how that will work out for us?
Because a handful of Asian nations talked about maybe buying/selling weapons with one another?
How so?
Most of Europe and indo-pacific countries are aligned with the US.
