After a whole shite-load of oil was discovered under the desert sands of Arabia (and long after Lawrence of Arabia had turned in his camel), unimaginable mountains of moolah started pouring into the treasury of the royal House of Saud.
Back then, wealthy Saudi princes merely contented themselves with having huge harems, buying up Manhattan real estate, sending their sons to Oxford and buying Paris high couture burkas for their daughters. However, after a while this playboy vida loca lifestyle seemed to get boring and these rich Saudi princes decided to try their hands at becoming a superpower instead. “We’ve got the money. Why not?”
But they went about it all wrong.
Instead of heeding the teachings of Mohammed [PBUH], they heeded the teachings of Lewis Carroll instead. “Off with their heads!” they cried. No no no! That’s not how you become a superpower. Trust me. https://www.rt.com/news/408859 -saudi-prince-helicopter- crash/
America has already traveled down that slippery slope and look what happened to us — broke, decaying internally, morally bankrupt and despised by the rest of the world. “Off with their heads” can only be taken so far in life. Doesn’t anybody read DC Comics any more or go to Spiderman movies? A true superpower uses its powers for good. https://www.globalresearch.ca/saudi-arabia-mirage-of-reform-in-wahhabisms-absolute-monarchy/5616635
The Saudis first entered the superpower arena when they got all tied up in the 1990 Gulf so-called “war”. Massacring thousands of Iraqis for fun and profit? Yummers! So much more exciting than buying fleet-loads of Bugattis and Ferraris. But what next? Buying all those 9-11 “pilots” of course. Then along came al Qaeda and ISIS, the princes’ new toys after that. Isn’t it amazing what money can buy? Their billions and trillions even purchased them an alliance with murderous Israeli neo-colonialists so that the Saudis too could bomb Gaza (and score all-access passes to Tel Aviv’s nightclubs as well as testing their new weapons on people who couldn’t fight back). http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-07/leaked-secret-israeli-cable-confirms-israeli-saudi-coordination-lebanon
What a shame. All that money — now wasted on terror and death.
But wait, things have just gotten even worse in The Kingdom. ISIS is now a hot mess and Yemenis are heroically pushing back against the Saudis’ genocide-for-oil campaign. And now Arabia’s crazy-rich princes are actually fighting each other as well as fighting Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Armani, Prada and the Green Party. Yikes! http://news.antiwar.com/2017/11/01/saudi-warplanes-attack-north-yemen-market-killing-29-civilians/
In the past month alone, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been jailing Saudi princes, assassinating Saudi princes and generally shouting “Off with their heads!” to any and all princes who stand in his way. http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/things-go-bump-night-riyadh-1511882449
It’s not easy being a crazy rich Saudi these days. However, being a world superpower without a conscience isn’t easy either. Just ask America. https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/The-U.S.-Empire-is-Fraying-and-Collapsing-Pentagon-Study-20170721-0024.html
