Lina al-Hathloul is an activist from Saudi Arabia whose sister, Loujain, was imprisoned and tortured from 2018 to 2021. She traveled to Washington this week to explain to policymakers just how devastating it is that President Joe Biden has traveled to the Middle East to meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, known as MBS.
“The thing is, Saudi Arabia is now a police state. So whatever reforms they brag about having, concretely, it really depends on the will of MBS,” Lina al-Hathloul told me. “It’s a dictatorship and a dark era for Saudi that we’ve never experienced before.”
Al-Hathloul told me that by going to Saudi Arabia, Biden is empowering and emboldening MBS. “They always forget how much Saudi exists only because the US protects it,” she told me. “The US has a lot of leverage on Saudi and it seems to forget about it and just bow down to Saudi pressure on oil.”
The superficial changes — opening movie theaters, launching a golf tournament, hosting concerts with international stars — obscure what is really going on in the country. “Basically, it’s changes for the West to see,” al-Hathloul told me. “Society is being muzzled.” She says that the government of MBS disappears Saudis for no reason, “sometimes only because MBS, you know, has doubts about people.”

This exposes the total hypocrisy of the deep State's whole us democracy vs them totalitarianism line. Suck up to Saudi Arabia and go easy on China. But provoke Russia by expanding Nato. So we can wage a lucrative proxy war there. Ukrainian blood, our weapons, Raytheon's profits, our tax dollars.
Trump's foreign policy was so much better. Confront China. Peace in middle-east, Abraham accords. Make Europe pay fair share for Nato. etc etc.
Looks like Vox is Islamophobic.
Not that MBS is a nice guy, but he weeded the Muslim Brotherhood out of the government.
Not a clean or pretty job.
In a country far far away from Saudi Arabia there was a non-birthing person named Hussein.
The Hussein man who coincidently also knows the Biden said that He’s ‘Really Good at Killing People’
Whatever
Exactly.
Jonathan Guyer, soyboy from Vox, can get in line after Joey Diapers to lick the dirty sandals of MBS.
Make sure you bow low like Bammy, Jonny.
How does Bison justify murdering Osama Bin Laden in a foreign country?
UBL died from natural causes (for an Islamo-terrorist). And it happened in a Muhammadan country, which only could mean it was the Will of Allah.
Insh'Allah!
Drawn by the promise of high-paying jobs, most are semi- to barely literate. On arrival they have their passports confiscated and are stripped of all civil rights. They're warehoused in overcrowded communal apartments and forced to work in unsafe and unsanitary conditions. To lessen their chances of escaping, the Arabs withhold the bulk of their pay until they are deemed to have completed their contract period, which their Arab masters will extend whenever their is an alleged work infraction, or just for their own convenience.
And the majority of the population of these countries is "guest workers" so when we're talking jibroni laborers we're talking hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.
It's similar with the prostitutes, mostly foreigners recruited from the Far East and eastern Europe. The good new is they're better kept than the manual laborers because much of their market value is in their attractiveness, which needs preserving. The bad news is they have to pay for the better treatment. They arrive already in debt to their Arab masters (to the tune of several thousand$ USD) and they have to work off that debt before they show any profit or are allowed to go home.
But all is as Allah wills it.
Fake, Illegal, POTUS, Democrat, Joe Biden has made himself and the once great USA Nation Republic, the laughing joke of the entire world!!! Both the Israeli’s & the Saudi’s treated him like the total buffoon he is. The USA is going down, as Biden has destroyed it as a real true leader of the world!!! Sad days for the American Republic and the American people. Yes...Virginia, rigged elections always have bad & evil, consequences!!!
Drastic difference in the way Trump was treated on his visit there OMG they rolled out the red carpet went ALL OUT for him!! It is utterly humiliating sending this BAFOON anywhere, EVERY world leader KNOWS the election was stolen and this UTTER IDIOT was installed which is also humiliating!!
