Only a matter of time before the empire turns on you when you reject USD for oil
It’s embarrassing that the US made any deal with an evil shithole like Saudi Arabia at all.
That's rich considering the US is both more evil AND more of a shithole than Saudi Arabia.
The US is more evil than a theocratic dictatorship where women and gay people are routinely executed? Are you completely fucking insane?
The US has killed more innocent civilians just in the Arabian Gulf than Saudi Arabia ever did. The US has committed vastly more violence unto the world by orders of magnitude. And that's not even touching on non military interventions meant to weaken and destabilize economies that do not bend their knee to the American empire.
Saudi Arabia was a beneficiary and collaborator in that. They're a close client state of the US, with a ruling class that's close with the American ruling class, and whose heretical wahhabist sect is used by US intelligence to create "plausibly deniable" proxy militants across Africa and Asia both to destabilize periphery countries and to engineer pretexts for full invasions by the US when they desire.
The correct response to a dumbass lib who doesn't understand that Saudi Arabia is a beneficiary and extension of American hegemony is to highlight the closeness of their collaboration and how the US own elitist and arch-patriarchal ideology was eager to ally with and uplift similarly reactionary movements in the periphery, both out of ideological kinship and the cynical pragmatism that militant elitist reactionaries are a violent bulwark against the left and so are perfect local compradors to oversee resource extraction to the benefit of the imperial core. The fact that local compradors of the machine of imperial hegemony are comparatively smaller than the whole of the machine they are a part of does not change the fact that they're still part of that machine.
It's a brand new account made on June 8th with only these two posts, lol
Hey now, bombs don't care about gender and sexual orientation. Those civilians where slaughter indiscriminately.
Feel free to go live in Saudi Arabia, like one of those Maga morons that move to Russia. You’re sick.

How many genocides has the US committed?
Now answer how many SA committed.
Utterly delusional.
Also black men and women are executed on live television and social media in this caustic fucking shit hole.
The answer isn't zero and yet the US still manages to be so much worse.
