Here is the same thing from an actual news source:- https://www.reuters.com/article/us-lebanon-politics-saudi/saudi-arabia-says-lebanon-has-declared-war-on-it-idUSKBN1D62NQ What does this even mean? The war in Yemen still isn't done, unless this means like a rhetorical general statement of intent or something. I'm going to put this in the category of just all talk, what might actually happen is a big escalation in yemen, but essentially there's no way they'll actually defeat the houthis unless they invade the north with foot soldiers.

The bigger question is why and if there's a functioning saudi arabian embassy in Sanaa three years into a war of annihilation in which the enemy has full control of Sanaa. Like, how does that happen and the embassy goes unmolested?

speaking of arrests, Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist who was forced into exile a few weeks ago, has started his own website, and publishes articles in english, while it's clear his self-imposed exile has freed him to be more critical, he still maintains a naivety and beleif in the saudi system:- https://jamalkhashoggi.com/

Mixodorian posted:So how much longer before the Saudis finally make their move on their longtime destiny of destroying those drat dirty Irani dogs? Poster al-Saqr, do you live in the KSA? What's the word on the street there. Soon my friend the great ghazwa will begin and the sword of Saad bin Abi Waqqas will deliver the final blow to the Safavid/sassanid/rafidi/Khomeini hydra!! Just like the good old days at the battle of Nihawand! *ululates wildly* Anyways, but seriously saudi is never going to actually confront Iran head on unless they really have run out of options, right now they're busy doing reactionary moves against Iran in multiple theaters so who knows what might happen. I don't know what those two Persian words you said mean, but looking it up on google it seems like it's some kind of racist slur, you should sit down with your in laws some time and tell them that's no good.

This is normal https://twitter.com/ali_h_soufan/status/928790991385038849 Like, Hariri's OWN PARTY is coming out against Saudi and is blaming MbS for taking him hostage. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?! WHY DO THEY KEEP SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE STOMACH LIKE THIS?!!? Like, at this point, they've put themselves in a position where either a war against lebanon will take place within the next couple of weeks, or just like the debacle with Qatar they just handed Iran yet another massive diplomatic victory free of charge.

Like, I just watched the speech Hariri gave, the guy was always known to be an idiot with zero charisma, but it was as clear as loving day there was a figurative gun pointed to his head in the way he read the speech and it's contents.

It may still be hard saber rattling but I am worried. the question running through my head is why now and not sooner, if they wanted to actually successfully attack Hezbollah they shouldve done it while the Iron was hot in Syria and while Assad was on the back foot and while there was enough hezbollah fighters busy in Syria, why are they picking the fight now?! at this point the Russians and Iranians have Syria Covered and now Hezbollah can recall it's battle hardened fighters back to lebanon no problem.

The problem is that Saudi Foreign Policy was essentially spent killing every arab countries chances of advancing past fascism and into more representative countries for fear of their own supremacy in the region. they helped kill off and undermine every attempt Arabs had at paving a new future for themselves be it from the left or from the conservative non-salafist islamists, and now they're surprised that the dead corpses they've chained arent much help to them in the face of an actually intelligent rival in the region like Iran.

Saudi arabia and the gulf in general have this very warped view of what development is, they want to have the tall buildings and capitalist economy and shiny streets without any sort of human or civil development at all. that's why there is never going to be any large innovation or art-based culture no matter how many buzzwords and poo poo they throw money at, because a scared and censored population are too busy being alienated than actually bother with producing artistic works that they mught end up punished for or make innovative products they lack any vision or non-royal capital to produce. Kuwait is different and I would argue they are the most advanced civil-society wise of all the gulf countries, which is why they dont do any hare-brained development poo poo, because they actually have to account for it in their semi-parliament so the money is better managed.

I'm reading the article now. Holy poo poo this loving guy just made a hamilton reference I loving hate this rear end in a top hat. Also I love how this slack jawed piece of poo poo rube walks up to people and thinks he'll get any other response than total support and then he takes that as proof of support. I'm not surprised that the same idiot piece of poo poo assholes who hired brett stephens also hired this guy. THE ARAB SPRING WAS VIOLENTLY RAPED AND MURDERED BY SAUDI ARABIA, THE US, RUSSIA AND IRAN, WHAT IS THIS loving rear end in a top hat EVEN TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! RandomPauI posted:The reasons why the Arab Spring failed isn't because of violent suppression. It's because the public's desire for change wasn't government lead and sanctioned! What this loving hack doesnt understand that because the arab spring was so brutally murdered they've pretty much killed any possibility of peaceful reform, There's GOING to be a violent and completely merciless revolution a couple decades from now that wont be liberal and will absolutely see hundreds of thousands more people killed and everybody who even whiffs support for the current order will be guillotined without trial, this loving rear end in a top hat doesnt realize that the only real chance for a peaceful transition of power has come and gone. the arab democrats and everyone else interested in change (including non-democratic and illiberal forces like the crazed fundamentalists) are already drawing up the lists and groups of people and numbers of officers they'll need to kill to change the region for good. holy poo poo you guys have no loving idea what kind of blood bonanza is on the horizon thanks to the absolute brutality with which arab fascism decided to treat it's people when they tried to let them go easy.
