@thejerusalem_post: Saudi Arabia acknowledged that it had helped the newly forged regional military coalition — Israel, the United States, Jordan, the United Kingdom, and France — repel an Iranian attack against the Jewish state early Sunday morning, in an unusual post on its royal family’s website.

How soon we forget. Saudia Arabia only exists as the weird, awful slave labor-reliant theocratic autocracy with insane amounts of wealth it is because 1) the British backed the current royal family when they were conquering the peninsula, because they wanted it as a unified protectorate, and having the Sauds do the heavy-lifting was ideal, and 4) after oil was discovered there in 1938, the United States swooped in and basically agreed to turn a blind eye to anything and everything they did or would do from then on for reasonable oil prices.

The Sauds conquered Mecca and Medina during their push. It wasn't like they had those before then. They were just one of the groups vying for control there, and the West was intimately involved in supporting them.

This is all 20th century history, with the bulk of the territorial gains happening in the 1920s. My grandfather was born then.

Tolerating Saudi royal bullshit isn't some necessary thing because of their ancient and noble history in a place. It was colonial and financial expedience. We could just as easily exert pressure now against the abuses they commit, or advocate a less awful political system, both because it is relatively new, and because WE HELPED CREATE IT.

"YES BUT THEY'RE MUSLIMS, THAT'S JUST HOW THEY DO THINGS!"

Right. Because political Islam is an evil, primitive monolith. Which is why there are zero conflicts between different factions of Islam.

Our willful ignorance about one of the world's major religions is merely cover for us to hand-wave away dealing with the fact that we subsidize gross human rights abuses.

All that murder and oppression and the gross public displays of wealth that MBS gets up to are NOT acceptable behaviors, according to the Qur'an. Any more than what US Republicans get up to is "Biblically-based."

Rich shitheads do what they want first, and then bribe and threaten everyone after the fact to say their shared religion condones it. Either through a state church, like in England or Russia, or just through "patriotic" religious instructors.

And when you own the most sacred holy sites like Saudia Arabia does, you can also quietly threaten everyone to get off your back or risk being accused of threatening the religion itself.

This is why human rights need to be the foundation of ethics. You consistently speak out against ANYONE who crosses those red lines. No one gets an exception, under any circumstances.

Otherwise your inconsistency proves you don't actually give a shit, and you can be warned off. Especially when you also have a long history of supporting abusive shit because it benefits you, as we do.

This journey was unlike anything I’d ever experienced in a region that has long been my second home, and it allowed me to grasp something quite remarkable: how onetime enemies and rivals across the Middle East are on the cusp of becoming so much more interconnected and interdependent than ever before. It’s creating previously unthinkable partnerships, as well as huge internal stresses, as people in the neighborhood are trying to figure out just how modern, secular, open, entwined and democratic they want to be. No two countries exemplify this moment better than America’s two most important Middle East allies, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Both are simultaneously undergoing fundamental internal struggles over their identities. The relationship between religious authorities and the state — as well as the very legal, social and economic rules of the game — in both Saudi Arabia and Israel has never been more up for grabs since each country’s founding. In Saudi Arabia, the societal transformations being imposed from the top down by the iron-fisted Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (M.B.S.) are now so profound that if you have not been to Saudi Arabia in the past five years, you may as well have not been there at all. When I last visited Riyadh, at the end of 2017, Saudi women were not permitted to drive. Today, not only are women behind the wheel, but the first Saudi female and first Arab female astronaut, Rayyanah Barnawi, just helped drive a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center up to the International Space Station. Meanwhile, the threat to Israel’s original aspiration to be both a Jewish state and a democratic one is now so profound, posed by an extremist government trying to crush the independence of Israel’s Supreme Court, that it has produced an unprecedented 22 straight weeks of massive street protests from democracy-devoted Israelis. If you have not been to Israel in the past five months, you may as well have not been there at all. In other words, America is now, in effect, present at the re-creation of two nations vital to our interests. Two nations who are at the same time secretly discussing making peace with each other. And two nations that are also figuring out how close to be with America’s increasingly Middle East-focused great-power rival, China.

Saudi Arabia’s decision to support Russian oil prices may have ended US-Saudi alliance.

In the confrontation between the US and Russia over Ukraine, Saudi Arabia sided with Russia by limiting oil production to prop up the price of Russian oil. That hostile action may spell the end for US-Saudi relations (which should have ended with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, if not sooner). Senator Dick Durbin spoke for many in the Senate when he said the following:

From unanswered questions about 9/11 & the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, to conspiring with Putin to punish the US with higher oil prices, the royal Saudi family has never been a trustworthy ally of our nation. It’s time for our foreign policy to imagine a world without their alliance.

Saudi Arabia has miscalculated its leverage in US-Saudi relations. Oil is important to the US (although it is effectively oil-independent at the moment), but US military aid is existential to Saudi Arabia. Without US military aid and related training and security guarantees, Saudi Arabia is a weak nation in an unstable region. It would undoubtedly look to Russia to replace the US as its military protector, but that move would be unavailing.

Russia can’t impose its military will on a neighboring country with which it shares a 1,226-mile border. The notion that Russia can project its military prowess to prop up a vast desert kingdom nearly 4,000 miles away is risible. Quick question: How many aircraft carriers does Russia have? Answer: One—the same as Brazil and Thailand, and less than France (2), UK (2), Italy (2), Japan (2), China (2), and the US (11). Moreover, the single Russian aircraft carrier is so unreliable that it is accompanied by a tugboat that brings it back to base when it inevitably breaks down. See Business Insider, Russia's Only Aircraft Carrier Is Outdated and Plagued With Problems. Oh, and the single Russian aircraft carrier was built 30 years ago by—wait for it—Ukraine, which has told Russia it has no interest in upgrading the carrier to modern standards.

It is time for the US to recognize that Saudi Arabia is a corrupt cartel whose only purpose is to prop up a bloated royal family of 15,000 members. Let’s hope that Biden acts decisively, soon, so that we are no longer subject to economic blackmail by a criminal enterprise masquerading as a modern nation.

Look, I object to Golf on a lot of grounds: Environmental, Water Wastage, Class Issues, etc..

At the same time, I oppose sports washing and global monopolies.

I can do both.
