    Not my point, my point is that these wars (specifically the ongoing wars in the middle east) are going to cause an energy crisis that will be felt in everything from energy to run homes to fertilizer for food.

    This person doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but their petty grievances against anything affiliated with the West. I’m not a particular fan of the Saudis but there was always a better way than what’s happening now - to cheer for this is to cheer for the deaths of millions of people.

        The Saudis intervened in the civil war in Yemen. If you think the Saudis started that war, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        Besides that point, I don’t like Saudi Arabia. None of what I’ve said changes.

          The saudis had imperialist policies towards Yemen since 1934 fuck you for treating Saudis as saviors .In 2011 yemeni revolted against the dictator Saleh once again Saudi was involved first to protect him so fuck you for acting like the saudis was saviors . There was a cease fire between the saudi backed government and the houthis and the Saudis broke it by attacking the envoy that returned back from ali Khamenei funeral on July 13, 2026. . Saudi arabia has a decade long devastating blockade are targeting around 25 millions Yemenis causing famine. So who against support famine? The answer is clear it is you, scum

            When did I claim the Saudis were saviors?

            Does saying that ‘the U.S. intervened in the Syrian civil war’ paint them as saviors? Nope, because that’s not what any of those words mean. On the contrary, Saudi Arabia has only made things worse in Yemen - claiming that I’m painting them as saviors shows you can’t read.

            By the way, 1934 was the end of a war started after years of conflict between the burgeoning Saudi kingdom and Yemen - both sides claim their share of guilt here. If you’d actually read anything about this particular point in history you’d recognize that the Ottoman empire/its remnants were a fucking mess for decades before the empire’s collapse - but of course that must be the west’s fault right?

            You aren’t worth discussing the topic with besides proving you dead wrong, which I will - when people in Yemen are still starving despite your bloodthirsty cheering.

              Bullshit. The saudis was expansionist and conquered a lot of land by force that do not belong. including yemeni land by focing Imam Yahya to surrender and sign a treaty. Fuck off with your bothsidism . Hypocrite like you always try to bothside the aggressors and the aggressed .
