Saudi Arabia could execute boy arrested at age 13

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Why are dem hacks so eager to make this a partisan issue? Did Clinton And Obama not sells arms to the Saudi’s or invite them to state visits?

It’s pathetic that an execution is used to say ORANGE MAN BAD

But wasn't Trump the one who said he'd stand up to the Saudis or something?

It's just a what-if scenario, but Saudi Arabia could've turned out much better had King Faisal, a truly competent and forward-looking ruler, lived on, as he wanted to limit the influence of the Wahhabi  religious officials who obstructed his modernizing reforms. All subsequent rulers were giving the Wahhabi hardliners more power. The takeover of Mecca seemed as an ideal opportunity to crack down on their asses, but only resulted in idiots Khalid and Fahd endorsing hardliners more. Talk about letting the terrorists win.

What, you think our country's so innocent?

Santander's trolling. You truly don't know better.

They execute hundreds of innocents, and  we execute millions. We truly don't have the moral high ground on this issue.

Oh stop that nonsense. How can you claim to be fighting radical Islamism when you're allied to the country that has the most radically Islamist government in the world?

If the Saudis were confining their brand of Islamism to home it would be much lesser of a problem. Unfortunately their government does everything it can to export the Wahhabi poison abroad and seems to have no problem with Saudi citizens, high ranking members of the Royal family including, literally pouring their money into terrorist groups. I think it's pretty thing to say that "model ally" done more harm to the U.S. and its citizens than most of so-called "rogue states".

Also, as of "both parties do that", there's obviously a lot of truth in that statement. Every U.S. postwar administration was guilty in propping up the Saudi regime. However, Trump is the first President to completely subordinate the U.S. policy in the region to Saudi goals, which is both morally deplorable and politically stupid.

The US should be friends with Iran and screw the Saudis.

They let women drive so they're no longer that bad.

Seriously, you hear such "opinions".

Realistically, isolating Saudi Arabia will give China a huge likely ally in the Middle East. Do you guys really want that? Riyadh aligned with Beijing?

"If we don't make torture equipment, some other country will" - about the same level. And haven't there been a few teeny-weeny indicators recently that China isn't terribly keen on Islamism?

To be fair China forged much closer relations with Qatar, and Qatar is also quite guilty of sponsoring islamism abroad (though not the same guys as the Saudis, hence the whole conflict).
