America will never say a bad word about Saudi Arabia, because of the Petro dollar. But want us to crush Syria, iraq, Iran, etc? Lol sure

They are the same guys who threaten to withdraw funding from UN programs if anything is said against their human right abuse. Fuck them.

Have you guys actually read any articles on this? It's their version of capital punishment. No different to lethal injections in the US..
HenryLongfellowIII
They kill about 50x as many of their own people as the US does. A superpower executions.

And the police in the US probably kill 100x more civilians than their Saudi counterparts

Crucifixion?? Yes?! Second line on the right one cross each... Next!

But why are they pissed at Canada to begin with? "Human rights"... Anyone got a link or something?

There is an ongoing women's rights thing in Saudi atm, being lead by a woman who also has Canadian citizenship
airandfingers
KSA didn't call out Canada over human rights. Canada called out KSA, and KSA reacted, calling it interference in their domestic affairs.
poultryprince
And this is the country leading the UN human rights council? Hmm I wonder why the US gave them the finger and walked out?
Predicto
Trump is petty and shortsighted. It's always a good idea to stay in international bodies and try to influence them rather than bailing out
poultryprince
But Russia is completely different right?

Saudi's best ally is US of A, just saying.

They beheaded him before they crucified him.
HenryLongfellowIII
Well, that's okay then, just the usual. If it was a woman it would be the usual stoning I assume.
GameDevSorcery
Ok, good
rando84
Honestly the least of KSA’s human rights abuses—I think prosecution of rape victims, executions of drug offenders, persecution of apostasy(1

, allowing near-slavery of migrants, etc. are all more morally outrageous than hanging the body of a murderer after the execution. (2

thecolonels
While it was a reaction, they ran a media campain calling out canada for their human rights issues. Canada's initial call was the release..

.. of a blogger with canadian ties, as well as other women's rights activists.
airandfingers
Ah you're right: https://businessinsider.com/saudi-media-called-out-canada-human-rights-record-2018-8 The sources I saw didn't mention this.

Well, I think facts play into this, he broke into a house, murdered a woman he tried to rape, tried to kill the man in the house 1/3

but was captured. He was executed first then crucified, he was not crucified in the days of old where you died over several days. 2/3

Ok, but still, that's pretty bad. Canada is against executing anyone for any reason.

That's not what it was about though. Canada's foreign minister tweeted about Saudi jailing peaceful political activists.

They only do this for the most egregious crimes, they have not done it since 2010 when a man raped a young girl and murdered the father. 3/3

They weren't calling out Canada, Canada was calling them out. Canada wanted two women's rights activists released from prison.

It was a tu quoque argument. And not a very impressive one, either.
HenryLongfellowIII
One of them the spouse of a Canadian citizen, so just what they should be saying.
OrC23
I wasn't arguing that Canada had the right to be pissed or not. (They do) I was saying the headline is wrong.
Odiumic
It’s less about Canada and more the Saudi Prince sending a message to other Western country’s by being so harsh on Canada. The message is-
ToasterDent
Saudi's are like 2nd tier bullies, the head bully Trump said it's ok to mess with Canada, so the House of Saud knows it's safe to.
Strangeboke
Right, it makes the current prince look good to his boys back home. He's actually a reformer, so he probably needs the street cred.
HenryLongfellowIII
He's a dictator who is allowing a slight relaxation of social controls, but he's crushing any opposition. Not clear that means reform.
Strangeboke
An autocrat, true, but autocrats have been known to be agents of good social change. He will die, hopefully his social reforms won't.
Odiumic
-“don’t try to screw with our internal affairs or we’ll dick you over”. They couldn’t do this to the US or the UK as the US is to powerful-
Odiumic
-and a looot of very wealthy saudis have a lot of money and interests set up in the UK so they settled on Canada cause the two country’s-
Odiumic
-don’t trade a ton so they can afford to be hard ass’s and not lose a lot. Plus it makes them look good to other Arab states considering-
Odiumic
-the current government in Canada and the current OM are both very liberal, so they can say “hey lookit us, we told the interfering-
Odiumic

-westerners to piss off”.

It's gonna be great when we move to renewables instead of relying on middle east oil and can just ignore that desert shithole.
Begotten
We who? Western interest in the region is as much to do with keeping that energy away from China
itsliterallyjustaname
Problem with middle east is that superiors do whatever the fuck they want. They dont follow the religion (islam) or the people.
SilereVitam
That actually scares me. What happens when the leadership loses all the money and power they have and are looking for someone to blame.
sensoryte
so do you see yourself alive when cars don't run on petrol anymore or more like your grand grand children?

I thought we didn't need them. We have other oil

Not gonna happen until US presidents stop taking it up the ass from the Israeli government.
airandfingers
As long as fossil fuels are relatively energy-dense and cheap, their military applications mean there will be conflict over oil.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha... Oh god I needed a good laugh today.
Persianmusicvideogifsgalore
WTF! Do you know that most of the wars in the region are caused because of western nations wanting to access oil!? 1
Persianmusicvideogifsgalore
I hope the renewables are developed, so people in the region are freed from the curse of have oil and all the meddling by the "world powers"

Saudi sovereign wealth fund just bought $2 billion of Tesla shares :)
JustLucky75
isnt it worth like 70 bil if priced at 420/share....so they have 2%. ok.
TheMostSolidSnake
Well then I really hope it goes private.
ToasterDent
The Telsa private plan will give current public shareholders option to convert to private shares, so they'll still own 2 bil worth.

RedIronCrown
Batteries are not necessary for migration to renewables. Could go with hydrogen instead.
HistoryMajor
The hydrogen reactor Germany made pulled a net negative of power production. Let's table that idea.
RedIronCrown
Hydrogen shouldn't be thought of as energy production, it's a storage medium.
HistoryMajor
I would have to disagree. A hydrogen reactor is possibly the best form of energy we can develop. We could literally just turn around and...
chloramphenicolderivative
China is buying Africa, so that will sort it self out entirely
HistoryMajor
I'm more concerned with China buying Nicaragua to build a canal for their navy.
chloramphenicolderivative
Or the canal in Thailand so they can actually start conflicts with India.
TheLordCypher
They are more than welcome to build a canal within B-1 strike range. Flying low-level the whole way, it'd be done in 4 hours.
PecsPewper
I like how it's ok to call it a "shithole" when you hear about something like this, and when referencing our reliance on them for oil.
Nerubin
A shithole with oil is still a piece of shit. Hell even shit can be used as fertilizer, doesn't make it smell less like crap.
PecsPewper
I don’t disagree, but for some people it’s not ok to call anywhere a “shithole” because it is politically incorrect.
Nerubin
So the opinions of a select few shall dictate your speech? Nah man neither that nor natural resources is relevant to a shit state morale.
PecsPewper
It isn’t the few. It’s literally an entire side of the political spectrum which disapproves of calling a place a shithole.

The main reason the UN isn't more effective is the US has made it that way. Same with the ICC.
Promethianfire
It's not specifically the United States. It's the Security Council (of which the United States is a member) and its veto power
TheMostSolidSnake
Yes
AurikNecal
Which, if the veto power wasn't around, the UN would still be useless as it's entirely dependant upon it's member states.

There are plenty of times where the UN could have acted collectively if not for Russia (Syria, Ukraine, etc) and I'm sure we've blocked-
