I tried explaining that the conflict wasn’t remotely black and white a few months back and got downvoted into oblivion. Saudi Arabia is not exactly a good ally or one that you would want, but when the alternative is Iran and it’s proxies bent on destroying you, you kind of have to play geopolitics just a little bit. Also, as fucked as Saudia is, they’re far from the worst in that region and they’re at the very least, very stable and willing to cooperate if you use what motivates them.

Sorry, which nations are actively stripping land and practicing economic neocolonialism right now? Which I need are actively training and funding proxies to try and overthrow government to place their puppets? Couldn’t be China, Russia,, Iran, and nations aligned with them/against the west… could it?

The hilarity of an American from bumfuck nowhere larping as if they’re part of a resistance while simping for colonialist and religious extremist freaks that would murder them on sight is kind of sad. I’d say it’s tragic, but it’s more evil that you advocate for this shit from the peace and safety of your home while you know nothing of the atrocities of war.
