      Perhaps it’s bonding over the fight against Islamic jihadism. Everyone’s taking sides. The Palestinians and Houthis seem to have picked the wrong side here.

      Knowing the Saudis will sell their beliefs for a greenback, it makes complete sense to leverage that into peace in the region…

        Faisal had his own interests in mind. Then he got assassinated after cutting off US oil supply. MBS has been an American puppet through and through. Aiding israel during their genocide proves everything about that claim.

      I’m constantly fascinated by how little Arab Nations care about the various Iranian proxies in the region. It’s almost like they understand what’s happening and us here in the west don’t have a freaking clue…

    Are they sure they want to do that? I mean yeah, they have a shared love of murder, but Israel doesn’t hate women like the Saudis do. They’re never going to see eye-to-eye on the ‘oppress women as much as possible’ front when Israel has a famously integrated military.

      Neither country cares as long as Iran loses.

      Of course they want to do it. They’re choosing prosperity over Islamic jihadism. Seems like a good choice. Hopefully it will pressure the Saudis on the domestic front once they see how it’s possible for people to live in the middle east and those people can achieve the standard of living the Israelis have.
