oh lookquote:Yet while the state has always been intent on suppressing political protest, the past several years have seen a severe turn. In 2008, subject to pressure from American anti-extremism efforts in the region, the Saudi government established a Specialized Criminal Court tasked with prosecuting terrorism cases. Soon after, rights groups began raising concerns that the court was being misused to prosecute nonviolent dissidents. These fears grew with the passage of the Penal Law for Crimes of Terrorism and its Financing, in 2014, which leveled harsh punishments for a wide range of expansively defined crimes. Waleed Abu al-Khair, the first activist to be convicted under these expanded laws in 2014, was sentenced to 15 years in prison and a 15-year travel ban after speaking out about human rights and signing a petition critical of the government.

MBS even managed to annoy a neocon https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/if-saudi-journalist-jamal-khashoggi-is-dead-is-mohammed-bin-salman-the-worlds-most-dangerous-man Michael Rubin @ AEI posted:If Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman or henchmen acting on his behalf killed Khashoggi, they have made a huge mistake from which it may not be possible to recover. It may not be fair to the many other dissidents — women’s rights activists, for example — arrested in recent months, but Khashoggi was better known in Washington and liked by many. U.S. officials might have excused a whole host of Saudi malfeasance in the belief that the crown prince was seeking to implement a century’s worth of reforms in just a couple years, but there can be no excuse for killing a journalist, let alone in such a grotesque way. Partisans of Iran should not, however, cheer because bad behavior in Saudi Arabia can never launder the extremism in Iran or vice versa. Rather, it is time to recognize that Crown Prince Mohammed, like Saddam Hussein, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and a long list of others, is not the great reformist hope that so many seek, but rather just another despot with a silver tongue undeserving of U.S. support.

It's all bluster just like everything else.

The US is still telling itself there will be a "post-Assad Syria" before they withdraw. https://twitter.com/joshua_landis/status/1049692736453074944 The US needs to stay in Syria so the country can't rebuild and stabilize itself. https://twitter.com/joshua_landis/status/1050150799052029957 OhFunny posted:https://twitter.com/crampell/status...ingawful.com%2F MBS is really ripping off the Chapo Trap House platform of dismembering WaPo columnists and imprisoning economists.
