    OK I have been trying to restrain my more direct language so lets see what I would have said previously.

    They are a bunch of vicious medieval racists who are slaughtering huge portions of their population, mistreating their immigrant workers and womenfolk as well.

    The only reason any civilised nation talks to them is that millions of prehistoric dinosaurs died under their territory then rotted for millennia and we need this to power our rape of the earth. So we sell them the weapons to kill their population and kiss their bloody hands to get our hands on their oil.

    We are so far up their arse it should disgust any sane person.

    I suspect if they hadn't had the oil they would probably be in a slightly worse state than Angola, I like to think that would be entirely just.

    Sad you find it funny, it says much more about you than me.

      no I don't find it funny

      this is what the boss of the state media organization said yesterday

      US sanctions on Riyadh would mean Washington is stabbing itself - Al Arabiya English

      basically Oil will trade in Chinese Yuan (goodbye pretodollar), Russia will have military bases in Saudi, buy Russian arms instead of US and closer ties with iran

      this is what the same person says today...

      Saudi Arabia’s message: Enough is enough! - Al Arabiya English

      and this is the western media covering it

      saudi sanctions - Google Search

      it's not funny, it's scary and it is surprising the sequence of events which lead to it

      what happens next is anybody's guess

      good luck and maybe time for a bit of prepping

          no need to apologise - my answers didn't explain properly the angle of thought

          I have no argument to your comments in the context

          nevertheless, I am surprised by this twist of events that Saudi have so upfront put themselves into the limelight and the potential for escalation and consequences

            Why? The Russians got away with murder on foreign territory on more than one occasion.

            It is pointless to carry a big stick if you don't actually use it once in a while.

              The only reason Saudi Arabia exists is because none of the big powers want anyone of the other big powers to control that much oil.

                      Bremoaners surely? they have a weird belief system and believe Federal/Fuedal states are a good idea
