By next year Erdogan would have purged his country so much he will be hunting gulenists inside his own party.

Merry Christmas! As gift to the thread I bring an NY Times article about Saudi Arabia loving up royally. Why Saad Hariri Had That Strange Sojourn in Saudi Arabia https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/24/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-saad-hariri-mohammed-bin-salman-lebanon.html quote:BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanon’s prime minister, Saad Hariri, was summoned at 8:30 a.m. to the Saudi royal offices — unseemly early, by the kingdom’s standards — on the second day of a visit that was already far from what he had expected. quote:Lebanese officials described the long hours between the arrival and the resignation as a “black box.” They said they were reluctant to press Mr. Hariri for details. When asked, one of them said, Mr. Hariri just looked down at the table and said it was worse than they knew. quote:Meanwhile, the Saudi prince, apparently undaunted by international concerns, summoned yet another leader, the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, and issued instructions on Palestinian politics. Officials differ on what Mr. Abbas was told in Riyadh. But Lebanese officials were alarmed. They dispatched General Ibrahim and a Palestinian envoy to Amman, Jordan, to debrief Mr. Abbas, three senior Lebanese officials said. mediadave fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Dec 26, 2017 |

mediadave posted:Merry Christmas! Great story. And it seems to indicate MBS really is a man that lives in the past and wants to recreate its 'glory days.' Time was you legitimately could kidnap kings and popes, have your thugs bully them into whatever proclamation you liked and it worked. But nowadays, when societal realities are far more complex due to things like larger population numbers and mass media, and when the rough outlines of a story like this can trickle out and be summed up in less than 2 months after the fact, all this does is cement the fact that MBS or any of his cronies are the last kind of people that could bring about any kind of meaningful reform in his country. Just more of the same cynically trying to disguise itself far more poorly, due to the naked brutality in Yemen and hamfistidness of poo poo like having its rich tortured to death in the Ritz.

Friedman's a dumbass, but he's basically an avatar of elite conventional wisdom in the US, and the article served its purpose in demonstrating where that is these days (if perhaps in a more embarrassingly fawning way than the cynical calculations the elites think they're making). Obama was probably the least pro-Saudi president we've had in decades, and even he mostly kept his disdain for them quiet aside from some undiplomatic observations to reporters toward the end of his presidency. Despite whatever misgivings he had, he still helped them bomb the gently caress out of Yemen, and gave them a free pass on doing the same poo poo they always do when they poisoned the Syrian rebellion by funding and arming jihadists. Trump obviously campaigned against Saudi Arabia because Hillary was (correctly) perceived as being too pro-Saudi, but of course he flipped the second they flattered him/he was captured by the foreign policy establishment after taking office since he had no real views of his own. I don't know if it's an economic concern about what the Saudis could do to oil markets or just a (valid) fear that either the Saudis would be even worse enemies than they are allies or that turning on them would lead to regime collapse and a jihadist state, but all evidence suggests we're more likely to cut even a treaty ally like Turkey loose than Saudi Arabia, especially since Erdogan's ranting about Israel all the time while the Saudis are pressuring the Palestinians.

Of course, the problem is widdling our allies to basically two of the least popular states in the Middle East, both with their own issues with human rights abuses and considerable internal issues. Basically, at this point, the only thing the US is really getting out of the alliance system is really oil, and even we have been cutting back our imports considerably. Our foreign policy in the region basically is only guided by political inertia and there is a reason it seems completely rudderless. It is why it is also so easy for the Russians to score points.

I can understand why people feel compelled to pretend beheading is normal, (they have to defend these scum somehow), but I don't understand why they expect anyone to believe them.

If he was beheaded, prove it. Shouldn't be hard, since a lot of people are claiming HTS got him. If you got nothing and you're just dumb enough to take RT claims at face value, gently caress off back to CSPAM.

I'm not going to defend jihadists, or war crimes, but murdering a POW is probably less evil than bombing a hospital. It's weird for either side at this point to pretend like there are any rules left to play by given how brazen both sides have been in flouting them.

It's worrying how the actions of killing people in war have become so disconnected that we are happy to accept dropping tonnes of explosive ordinance indiscriminately on civilian centres while being shocked and appalled at the act of killing an enemy soldier post combat. Any death of a military captive is reprehensible (although every military force ever is guilty of it to varying degrees) but in the context of a war zone where civilians are being bombed daily it's really not a shocking action to expect revenge attacks against enemy pilots. Of all the horrible things that have happened in the Syrian war this is nothing.

I mean yeah it pretty much is in this conflict. This is not a defense of anything btw, I have no interest in the insane moral olympics some people here like to compete in. I prefer not to take the side of any of the thugs in this conflict.
