But we have to keep them as a close ally no matter what, right? There is no low Saudi Arabia can't sink to.
Similar to Israel.
They’ll only become more desperate as the world reduces fossil fuel dependence.
They also buy lots of guns from the US. This is one of the real reasons. Lockheed Martin’s profit margins would decrease by a significant amount if our relationship with SA changed at all.
Even if the Saudis and other major countries in the reason were able to decrease tensions with Iran, Lockheed Martin and its associated propagandists and lobbyists would start beating the war drums to increase tensions and thus sales.
Edit: *one of the real reasons. Added para. on LM ensuring tensions in the region always remain high even when the people that live there and their government’s reduce tensions.
Not just Lockheed but all of the big defense contractors.
What's a bone saw or terrorist attack or two between such good friends.
"But for three shining decades, war profits were never higher."
Cut 'em loose. Fuck 'em both.
If only...
President Musk will demand tributes! Because that reality we can all understand easily. The whole petro-dollar hegemony thing is a little complex for a tweet. Not that anyone who understands it thinks it’s good.
This. Fuck the Saudis and the Isrealis.

And they murdered Kashoggi in what year?
The response to that was to invite them to invest in a whole bunch of tech startups
Right. We reward them no matter what they do.
Only 39 people? That's like, one month's worth of mass shootings in the US /s
His name was Jamal Khashoggi.
Never forget.
