Saudi Arabia a dictatorship that shouldn’t have U.N. status
Arabians must realize that the Saudi ruling amir who pushes hard against them is not something that has simply befallen them. They made him. They are making him. Much of him comes from the top down — from their parents, teachers, imams and intellectuals. It is trickle-down education that begins and ends with the idea that the amir is “good” for them.The amir, in fact, is not good for Arabians because he obliterated their significance and made them feel that they are nothing but a bundle of faults and imperfections, and the amir alone is faultless and therefore merits emulation.
The effort of the amir to equate the Saudi system of government with the true Shura system represents a destructive assault on the Islamic Shura of government.A well-placed Saudi official told me that Saudism is the backwater of the past, not the wave of the future. It hangs on, not because it excites the masses, but because a brutal dictatorship threatens the masses. It is time to send Saudism to the ash heap of history.
This fairly educated son of Arabia, who worked with the Saudi government for 16 years, knows that the ruling amir does not lead. He rules and dictates because his father told him that he owned the land and the people of the land. It is unbelievable, but true.Let us be honest, Saudi Arabia is not a country. It is a plantation with a master amir. The amir runs the kingdom like a family company — no rights, no elections and no parliament.I wonder how the kingdom of Saudi Arabia was accepted as a member of the United Nations with all these shortcomings.

PLease follow me for more articles, pictures and all around cool things having to do with cryptos and geopolitics !
well, a lot of dictatorship country are members of UN ( which actually is not able to solve even one conflict in the world due to political weakness and no UN army at all) and I guess this is not the big problem to be part of UN.
I completely agree with you that the Saudi Arabia has to change and move forward, but actually with the support of newly purchased weapons from the West, it seems that is becoming a regional superpower, dictating rules and conditions not only to Saudi peoples, but also to Yemen and right now also to neighbour Qatar, which is under heavy pressure and an economic embargo. So, until the oil will be purchased, money will come to the Saudi kingdom and new weapons will come to the area to establish more control in the region and allow to rule about the normal everyday life with some really not modern religious issues.
well they bit off more than they could chew in yemen by far, and are giving many casualties daily, not to mention that they have lost all credibility by attacking yemen. and the qatar crisis only shows disunity between the arab states around the persian gulf. qatar is now moving toward turkey and iran (what saudi did not want). If anything, saudi arabia is farther away from being the regional superpower than it ever was
in Yemen they made a military disaster and created famine and yes..... probaly in less then 1 year we will face a direct confrontation between Iran and Saudi , if Saudi will try to take over the natural gas of Qatar, which is the real reason for the last embargo, all the rest about who is supporting terrorism is a cloud
Saudi would never attack Iran, it would be a very bad war for it. They would try to get the US to get in through some sort of provocatio. The gas field north of Qatar (the Pars Gas Field) is underwater, mostly under Iranian territorial waters. the saudis would need to come to terms with iran in order to be able to tap into it, like Qatar has done. Saudi is being run ba a amatuer young prince who doesnt know the ropes. they are moving themselves toward their own demise. Lets not forget that the basis behind sunni radical jihadi terrorist like alqaeda and isis and the rest all comes from saudi backing and money and teaching in mosques all around the world.The whole war on terror is a joke. if it wasn't, we wouldn't be "Allies" with these extremist wahhabist pushing terrorist producers.
maybe Saudi would never attack Iran, but Iran for sure would if some interest will be toucher in Qatar, because Saudi is the only real "enemy" in the area, all the rest is already collapsed or not interested or with too many problems like Turkey. I do not know if the whole war on terror is a joke, I can just notice that after the entry of Russia in the war, many things has changed drastically and slowly Mosul today and Raqqa in the future will be free from ISIS, but probably never free from what is the wahhabi indoctrination.
main reason for last embargo was because qatar support muslim brotherhood, turkey and iran a little bit. but the terrorism stuff was bulshit, because loike i said, saudis are the biggest terrorist creators
im always amazed to hear about how "weird" is it to let Saudis does all the things they do... its not weird at all, its an open confrontation and governments took their sides and have choose allies. Cant be more transparent than it is.
Im not sure anyone is saying that it is "weird". People are saying that it is sickening and wrong.
yes, but noone is using their democratic rights to prevent the support of such things. i was reffering to the people who are pointing out at their barbarism and acusing other countries for allying and helping them. like its something unusual. theres an open battlefront, there we have "our" terrorists, and "their" terrorists, and "we" will support "our terrorists" because they "kick asses of their terrorists". Saudis are just British ISIS from some time ago, when there was no drones and cell phones with camera. Kind of long term investment Startup hub for future ISISes..
Ever heard of blow back? Letting "our" crazy terrorists get a foothold as they have done has hurt allot of people. the terrorists dont like the US and now neither does the country you call the battleground. you cant fund and arm islamic terrorism and then go and start a "war on terror". this is way beyond, our asshole vs their asshole. By helping wahabist style extremist islam grow, we are hurting our future.so unless you wnt more shootings and bombings here in the west, i think you should put an end to that startup hub :D
oh im not in the west at all, though i had an opportunity to deal with such sponsored terrorism. they were all over Chechenya, Bosnia, Libya.. there was always some rich saudi guy who would pay a lot of cash for sick pics or video tapes of beheading and torturing. its not anything new. it just got into mainstream media recently. neither of those terror guys aint mine. but people living in the "west" should stop being surprised, half of these guys are fighting for their cash, oil, for their "way of life" and high standard of life.
if the people of the "west" dont like it, they should get downtheir governments. block some roads, army bases.. simply taking active role in international affairs.
its not easy putting an end to a whole country. what would you do to saudis to stop them from producing terror? what to do with USA to stop supporting Saudis and obliterating half of the world? what to do with EU countries, who just follow all that like doggies?
To help them get the right government? (like they did in Libya, Iraq or Ukraine?)
i dont think it works really. and i dont know solution to this.
I totally agree. But continuous support for saudi isn't the answer. We have to stop calling them our allies. They have exported their brand of deadly islam and destroyed europe. I agree with you 100%
