Reply to comment by KruppeTheWise in Saudis take control of US augmented reality company Magic Leap by MicroSofty88

That was wholly on the neocon republicans who just wanted an excuse.

Iran is the House of Sauds arch nemesis, not Iraq. Maybe read up on the region.

I did, which is why I know the Sauds were very happy with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war and then relations deteriorated rapidly after with borders being closed, embassies removed on both side when Saddam turned on Kuwait next. It's almost like the Sauds no longer trusted Saddam to do their bidding and wanted him gone with a puppet government in place. What exactly happened again?

Maybe read up yourself.

Newsflash: countries have issues with other countries all the time. Now look into Iran and Saudi Arabia. Little bigger differences there.

All you’re doing is trying to defend the indefensible by trying to say “but look at all these other places that also do some less bad stuff!”

doesn’t change Saudi Arabia being deplorable. Guess when they got rid of slavery.
