What about the blockade of Qatar ? What of taking the Lebanese prime minister hostage ? 4 years of failure in Yemen ? Killing a journalist ? Locking up his entire family in a luxury hotel North Korean style ?! He’s a reformist because he let women drive cars . Comedy gold

It sure is interesting how hard it is for some men to admit they are wrong by doubling down on the excuses. Don’t be that guy
@tomfriedman, it’s gross. -
Trying to bring a Theocracy like SaudiArabia into the leader's vision of the 21st century by a corrupt authotarian leader, cannot proceed without making hypocritical decisions at times. All you need to do to understand the delemma is to look at how that's playing out in America.

Sure, he’s a savage brute who is murdering thousands of women and children in Yemen and crucifying anyone who dares challenge his dictatorship, but hey! He’s allowed “western-style concerts” to be staged, so he’s my man.
