Saudi Arabia is evil, but perhaps this is the only way to teach Americans the error of their ways
They will betray us
Will? Did auto-correct not fix it to have?
I dunno, the only way they could seemingly betray paramount is to put watchable shows on it.
Last week on Muhammed’s wives
We’re putting AMERICA First by giving the ARCHITECTS OF 9/11 CONTROL OF OUR NEWS!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
it will be hilarious if they start buying up AIRLINES.
A transactions for the architects of 9/11 to the architects of 9/11, sweet.
1 year after the transaction
Typical GOP Voter: 9/11 was all the jews! Bin Laden wasn’t even a real person!
Don’t be silly, they’ll blame it on trans people
Imagine if any had been trans Atlantic or trans pacific flights…
It’s square now, our king got a palace in the sky and that’s what matters.
Ballrooms, arcs, palaces
The people will sacrifice whether they want to our not.
Yall weren’t sacrificing already?
Because of course nothing can go wrong with that.
At least no more Arabs as the bad guys in Hollywood, right? right?
On the one hand we could imagine them clamping down on riske material and promote islamicism, but to be real having lived in the gulf for many years they care more about money than anything else. So prepare for more neoliberal enshittification.
With a hefty dose of Israel support because if they went against Israel, 1, the US wouls get angry and 2, people would start questioning why the big rich Muslim countries aren’t doing anything to help their brothers and sisters in Gaza.
This particular topic has little to do with Israel to be real. Even as an anti-zionist i am not sure why you slipped this in.
Saudi Arabia and UAE are tight with Israel (because they get US military support for backing it), so it’s not unlikely that Israel would get some windfall out of this, though the other person has the cause all wrong and in any case I doubt either country is much more pro-Israel than US establishment media.
Saudi Arabia and UAE are absolutely not going to be promoting Islamism (Qatar is more complicated). Islamists are the biggest enemies of entrenched authoritarian regimes in most of the Middle East, so even ones with a veneer of religion are trying hard to gain legitimacy as secular nationalist dictators. For example remember that one story about the UAE being like "Britain harbors dangerous islamists? The translation here is “this foreign liberal democracy is harboring enemies of my authoritarian regime.” If anything both of them (but probably not (Qatar) are already pushing for more bellicose US policy in the Middle East, because they’re vassal regimed whose survival depends on the continued interest of their imperial masters.
the Middle east countries have been desperately trying to diversifying , because they know oil and gas will dry up a few decades. and they have spent alot of money recently sportwashing themselves.
I’m glad I cancelled paramount plus a while ago
I suggested boycotting them in a previous topic and got replied “whoa you want us to stop watching movies and tv??”
i suspect alot are keeping it because nutrek, if one is a true trekkie in the roddenberry days, you cannot support someone like ellison whos would be anti-trek villian.
I wish I could charge money to companies I hate.
Just sending plausible invoices to large corporations works waaaaaay more often than you’d think. The only downside is that the penalties are severe if you’re caught. Have an exit strategy.
Same. I’d like to cancel again though, to show them!
Why do people who complain about Muslims want to give our industries away to Islamic countries?
They only dislike Muslims who aren’t billionaires.
They dislike everyone but their own, but they still get hard-ons for billionaires.
Power is the only real religion.
Because there’s money to be made by looking the other way. The “revolving door” is open to high level government bureaucrats and they want their payday after their “public service”
It’s like making billions of dollars changes your point of view. Weird.
Where is reuters on this? This is right up their alley, I have to think the omission is on purpose as this is news.
omission is a legit logical error
Can’t be worse than the Ellisons. Changes nothing.
Sure it can’t. Team Bonesaws And Islamist Petro-Monarchy can’t possibly be worse.
Team Bonesaws is definitely worse than the Ellisons, but they’re both in the Blight Against Humanity Hall of Fame.
The reporting you did last week on us was kind of poor, we require you to update your passport and come visit us so we can discuss it all in person…
This has been going on for awhile. I’ve said it a few times. Saudi Arabia has been quietly buying up a ton of companies along with various Trump allies and sometimes outrighting funding those Trump ally companies.
They invest in many Trump related companies as well as partnering with Russia’s Soverign Weath Fund.
Everyone is so worried about China, they are letting Saudia Arabia buy up everything behind the scenes.
I would trust a government that kills reporters, hangs out with Epstein, or likely helped fund 9/11 terrorist attacks.
There’s a list of PIF investments in Wikipedia. PIF
Who bailed Elon out and helped him buy Twitter? Who do you think Trump was selling those fucking cases full of classified Intel to? It’s so sad watching this all play out with nothing to do about it.
It is honestly pretty funny that they are currently incapable at protecting themselves even with top of the line equipment. They’ve also spent way too much money on completely useless megaprojects, failed to buy up large swaths of Arizona land for alfalfa, and haven’t built any large internal industries to transition them away from their status as a petrostate aside from a few luxury electric car manufacturing plants.
Recommend Arabs at War: Military Effectiveness, 1948-1991 (Studies in War, Society, and the Military) by Pollack
There are many reasons; one of them is that Arab forces often lie to their commanders so that they have very poor situational awareness, leading to a cascade of further poor decisions in war.
This is because you can and will be executed for failure.
Unfortunately, you can also be executed for being too competent, which can be seen as threatening to your superiors.
Also, maintenance. And sand. I hate sand.
There are many other factors and exceptions, depending on when and where.
and thier influence on trump is very limited compared to israel, and russia. they though they were getting a deal, but they dont seem to directly interact with politics, such as funding the actual campaigns or superpacs.
I disagree, please look at Trump’s son in law Kushner’s business dealings in Saudi Arabia (and elsewhere in middle east). The many billions of dollars are “officially” in his private equity firm (and accompanying shell companies).
Russian oligarchs are small change and have nothing near as much influence (due to less money)
Saudi Arabia can’t beat Israel for influence, but you know, we formed Israel and they’re like our colony/military base in the middle east; so I don’t think any nation can match that influence, we’re connected as allies, Israel could not exist without the USA.
I am not saying that Trump doesn’t accept money from Russia or anybody else, though, and exert influence for them. He’ll take money from everywhere and make “deals” with anyone who has billions of dollars.
Saudi Arabia is capitalist so why should we worry about them? /s
Yeah, the invisible handjob of the market will sort it all out, right?
invisible handjob
I’m using this.
Lmao, wb agreement did make Ellison’s go broke.
Jummah every Friday evening only on CBS
America’s most defining characteristic is selling out.
Saudi Arabia also bought EA, which wasn’t a great company to begin with.
I’m so happy everything in the world is gonna be owned by 5 people and 2 countries.
They are going to run this into the ground. They have no idea how art works other than they want to buy the stuff people are watching.
Isn’t there a contradiction between the Zionist interest behind the purchase of CBS and say Qatar? I know UAE and Saudi were in bed with Israel before the war but not so sure about today.
American policy usually works like that, but Trump is for the most part a different breed. He’s concerned with self-enrichment first, ideology a distant third.
MBS is Trump with more murder and less term limits
*Fewer
Sorry had to do it.
More murder only because we know about it! And only if you don’t consider the people murdered by Trump’s regime (like ICE murders and the Iranian school bombing).
