Trump wants to know why he can’t do that in America
Trump salivating while reading this.
Coming to America 3: Fascism Boogaloo
They sent 19 religious fanatics to learn to fly jumbo jets into the wtc
Never forget ? Whatever I guess
The irony of the bin Laden attack is that it was in response to US military occupation of Saudi Arabia, via a dozen-odd installations ringing the Saudi Peninsula.
But UK/US military occupation of The Kingdom (combined with the Petrodollar, which grants the Monarchy an unlimited line of international credit) is what effectively makes Saudi Arabia a military and economic power in the region. The western occupation of Saudi Arabia is the gun to the head of every other country in the region. Without that, they’d be no better off than Egypt or Turkiye.
Bin Laden and his allies were certainly fanatical. But they were reactionary in defiance of the Protestant dominance of the Muslim World. It’s hard for us to forget 9/11. It’s far easier for us to forget the prior 60 years of UK/US/Israeli backed violent oppression, invasion, and assassination of every Unaligned Muslim Leader stretching from Algeria to Thailand.
Yeah capitalists are bad guys
Don’t worry guys. You can just attend the iconic Esports World Cup (life changing money, btw) and see how great Saudi Arabia really is.
This is the kind of scum we choose as our allies. Disgraceful.
The US (Nixon) made an agreement with the Saudis that the world buy their oil in dollars in exchange for the US providing protection - thus extending the dollar’s period as global reserve currency beyond the time the US unpegged the dollar from gold. Known as the petrodollar agreement, this extended the period the US gained an unearned portion of global wealth beyond the 70’s.
America was, Americans were paid handsomely for its agreement with the Saudis. Bretton Woods then this is why boomers were able to buy a house and live well on one wage.
I understand not everybody benefited from this. In fact I think American capitalist ideology largely squandered this period wealth enriching the likes Tump, Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg etc. I guess ‘a rising tide raises all boats’ and ‘trickle down economics’ turned out to be big lies after all, whouldathoughtit.
Wasn’t Saddam trying to move to selling his oil in another currency, which is one of the reasons he was invaded?
the kind of scum that the mobsters in government choose as allies.
Not sovereign countries that were attacked because another Mob state unilaterally decided they dont get to exist anymore, like Ukraine , Not oppressed people who’ve been systematically denied representation and genocided for centuries, Like the Kurds
Instead, We cosy up with Regimes with abhorrent human rights abuses who win favor in the west with bribery.
Countries that wage war against us from the inside, trying to convince us they’re friends whilst having no intentions other then destroying us, like Russia,
Wasting money trying to prop up regimes that want nothing to do with us other than our money, like Afghanistan and Iraq.
or the never ending blank check to Israel who freaks out every time someone sneezes, Who will never run out of enemies, and make new ones when they do. citing the Holocaust as an excuse to butcher 80,000 people in a month all while threatening to use nukes if they fail.
They also assassinated Kashoggi, who was living in Germany at that time. But give it 2 more years and you will hear similar news from the US
Why wait? Cops are already shooting rubber bullets at journalists during protests and doing all kinds of illegal things to them for the crime of-well there is no crime, actually, except for what’s being committed by the cops.
As an American I give it one year, maybe less.
In spite of the speed run, the calendar is ticking quicker than I imagined. I think the vibe around the midterms when primary season kicks off, will paint a picture of what’s next.
Or who’s next. My guess is that he will return to lying about mexicans and either his regime, or some of his fanatics, will create/stage an incident, which Trump will use to declare emergency on everything and start sending the military to round up legal and illegal immigrants, gays, jews, disabled people, people believing in something different than jesus and god, people on a different mobile phone than the t1 trump chinese phone (dis a joke but the rest ain’t)
Saudi Arabia and Israel. The best allies.
Are we the baddies?
🌏👨🚀🔫👨🚀🌌
Very much yes.
Did nobody open a history book before two years ago? We’ve been the imperial iron fist of the West for a century. Since manifest destiny and the Monroe doctrine even.
I just came to terms with not hating our past, bc better us than Russia, North Korea, Iran, et al running the show. But bruh - we’ve got our warts. Covered in em.
Cheap consumer goods come from advantageous trade relationships. Trade is impacted by regimes, culture, military size differences, etc. Do the math. Lookup Dole and why them bananas so cheap. Need faster cheaper shipping, let’s buy Panama! The list is endless.
I mean… death penalty is a thing, prison is another. Whatever the punishment, the law being applied on a f*ing tweet is quite extreme already. And all countries do this. So, before blaming perhaps some reflection is due.
and zero fucks are given when saudi arabia calls for de escalation etc
a shitty regime. stop buying oil and gas and bam their country is dead. they produce nothing relevant, they educate no one and have culture of patriarchy that was hip a 1000 years ago. saudi arabia isnt a country is a facist scam.
Again.
Honestly surprising to me there’s anyone left brave enough to be a journalist in Saudi Arabia
