Saudi Arabia General Discussion Thread: Purge Time with Finn and Jake

I wonder if it could be related to this. Saudi Arabia could be trying to fool dumbs into thinking that they never fund terrorists and that everything is Qatar's fault. Of course they're both to blame.

Ousting Hamas......no more funding for terrorist groups.....breaking up relationships with Iran......killing Al Jazeera (lol).....not meddling anymore in egyptian affairs.

Obviously they mean no more funding for terrorist groups that Saudi Arabia doesn't like. Lets not kid ourselves about Saudi Arabia.

He's hailed in some websites as a technocratic reformer, planning for a post-oil Saudi economy and Westernization... plus the Yemen mess.

Who wants to bet he will be the last king of Saudi Arabia?

That wouldn't be hard on account of being only 31.

Deposed bin Nayef confined to his palace.

The Saudi monarchy has obviously never been democratic, but these look like the latest moves in a slow-motion coup by Salman's branch of the family.

He's obviously consolidating power, and this is obviously related to the Qatar thing, too.

One of my favourite Twitter hot takes:

That's not really a hot take considering that it's basically true, but this James Martin character (am I supposed to know who he is?) reeks of #Resistance Twitter so I'm inclined to endorse your clowning of him.

He's implying that woman are somehow better off in the last country in the world to allow women to drive than the United States.
