Saudi Twitter is disgusting. when kuwait hosted the Qatari emir for peace talks they started a trending hashtag praising saddam and saying they wish he would have finished the job. Oh also a large stake of twitter and Uber happen to be owned by the government of KSA but I’m sure this is a coincidence

That's funny, because the region would be objectively better off if we let Saddam keep Kuwait - because Kuwaitis are exactly like Saudis. Rich, indolent, racists.

no I don’t disagree with the racist part at all, it’s well documented and shameful

I disagree with lumping Kuwaiti and Saudi as basically the same thing as well as the saddam stuff but I’ll explain when it’s not 2 am

I'll also grant that Kuwaitis aren't as bad as Saudis in the same sense that the clap isn't as bad as syphilis.

kuwait isnt as bad a saudi because they are a lot smaller and not as rich or powerful. it’s just an absolute metric of money and hubris that scales up in a specific way

Kuwait isn't a champion of human rights either, so sounds like a wash to me.

This, why do you think (to quote some liberal in the neonazi alt right thread) I have the view of the suburbs of America as Mordor?

What, unlike Saddam Hussein, a fat guy who declared war on the IRI, gassed ethnic minorities, and put his sons in all the ministerial positions?
