I have several Saudi friends that I've spent hours talking to them about their country.Don't you think if the Saudis were removed, that a worse regime would pop up? You know, like Iran?
First of all, they love their country and have no desire to live anywhere else or change the culture.
Secondly, they grip about their government, much like we do about ours, but I don't see them ever rising up to change it.
Finally, the reason the Saudi people people put up with the less than perfect royal ruling family. Is because the King is the custodian of the Kaaba in Mecca, and keeps the country's laws and culture based on Islam. ...
Yeah, that was my opinion as well. I wish they hadn't started attacking Yemen, though I understand the logic.
As flawed as they are, I don't see alternatives that are better. And the people at least seem relatively pleased with the royals.
I do have to wonder... how petty were they to kill that reporter. Ignore the guy. It reminds me a little of Trump, who always freaks out over every whiny reporter. Just ignore them.
