Saudi Arabia is one of the worst regimes in the region. They, along with most other Gulf States, literally practice slavery, but nobody gives a sh**t.

Anyone else watch the Saudi Arabian F1 Grand Prix?

Before the race, the band played this, but I don't know the Saudi anthem, so it was difficult to tell if this was legit.

Saudi National Anthem

Another weird fact was that the track has only four grand stands. Two on the home straight one one each on turns 3 and 4 respectively. It took me a while to figure out, but essentially, there was no crowd at this race. Depsite the lack of seating, I could have bought tickets online from Australia the day before the race.

King of Saudi Arabia does not believe Iran is even comparable to his country.

Like many of the "nouveau riche", the rulers of the KSA have absolutely no taste.

Wahhabi clerics: we must destroy all godless and idolatorous human history in Arabia

al-Saud: so we can replace it with self-parodying post-modern horror

Very big mistake conflating MBS and his faction with the al-Saud family in its entirety.

Saudi Arabia is a brutal regime that must be destroyed by Iran, China, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, and the Houthis.

I doubt that Xi has any plans to "destroy" a country that seeks to be a willing partner in the BRI, and that has only been developing warmer and warmer relations with China following the ascent of the current leadership of both states.

Hamas has no compelling motive to seek the "destruction" of Saudi Arabia. The hostilities that do exist between Hamas and Saudi Arabia are just an afterthought of the wider hostility between Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood as a whole (of which Hamas was/is the Palestinian branch) which have to do with the Brotherhood's conflicting interests with the Saudis, nothing to do with the "brutality" of either side.

The Al-Assad regime in Syria has no compelling motive to seek the "destruction" of Saudi Arabia. Although the Ba'ath Party's ostensible goal is to unite all Arab countries under a nationalist republican regime, the Alawite Assad knows that he could never hope to have the entirety of the majority-Sunni Arab World submit to his geopolitical leadership, and the "Arab Cold War" of the late Twentieth Century is long dead; neither Assad nor the al-Saud have any territorial aspirations over each other's domains. KSA's support for the opposition in the Syrian Civil War was not the result of any thoughtful desire for regime change, but rather merely token/obligatory support done in order to neutralize and counter the Islamic Republic of Iran (the benefactor of the Assad regime) and maintain their credibility as a protector of Sunni/Salafist interests and the opponent of IRI proxies. Since MBS came to power, the KSA has reversed course in Syria and sought rapprochement with Assad's Syria; providing support for the Syrian opposition at the onset of the war provided leverage that the KSA could use to negotiate a stronger guarantee that Assad's Syria would desist from any pro-IRI activity that posed any threat to the KSA, and MBS has utilized that leverage.
