  1. She asked why they were siding with Russia. He answered they weren't siding with Russia, just looking after their own interests. How is that not answering the question?

  2.  @dabblerdeluxe775  Actually, the US is the greatest producer of oil, as we produce 20% of the world's oil. We also consume 20%. Saudi Arabia and Russia each produce 11%, while consuming 3% and 4%. Canada only produces 6%, while consuming 3%. China produces 5%, while consuming 14%.

  3.  @pindapoy1596  Take a look at a map. The parts of the world, with the darkest people, are in Africa, not Asia. And the Arabian peninsula is in Asia. Most American black people are descended from west Africans, and they are quite dark, although some are lighter, because of rape by master, before Emancipation. I admit that some Yeminis are very dark, darker than Afro-Americans. But, usually Ethiopians are darker. Also, most of the higher Arab families have a good bit of European blood in them, courtesy of Slavic slaves in the harem. It doesn't matter how dark or light the slaves, the Saudis keep are. It is wrong. Many are Filipinas, who came to make money as housemaids, but were forced into sexual slavery. I was told that Pakistanis are employed as laborers in construction and such, and although very poorly treated, not slaves. Or maybe that's just the UAE and Qatar.

  4. If a "journalist" meddles in politics, and funds a group dedicated to killing the royal family, it is not unexpected, to die most violently. You're discussing a tribal society, where hereditary rulers are descended from the most vicious warlords. Strength is admired. Compassion is a sign of weakness.

  5. If Biden wants the Saudis to lower the price of oil, he should stop antagonizing them. I'm not saying completely ignore the many human rights abuses, although they have begun to be a little less oppressive of their women. But, he should return the Houthis (Ansarallah) to the terror watch list. After all, they do fire missiles upon Saudi civilians. And, if he were to tell Iran no deal, until they cease their support of international terrorism, it would go a long way to improving relationships between the Saudis, Emirates, and the US.
