Saudi Arabia has executed 81 men over the past 24 hours, including seven Yemenis and one Syrian national, on charges including terrorism and holding “deviant beliefs“, state news agency SPA said on Saturday.

The number dwarfed the 67 executions reported in the kingdom in all of 2021 and the 27 in 2020.


“These individuals … were convicted of various crimes including murdering innocent men, women and children,” SPA said, citing a statement from the interior ministry.

In my Fantasy World, I’d have the power to put Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on my short list (#2, right behind #1 Putin) and a Staff capable of fulfilling the mandate.

I'll bet some of our fabulous conservative religious fundies will be along shortly to profess their admiration for such a society? Executions seem to make their trousers tight for some reason.

Heh heh heh, a religious fundie is as a religious fundie does....
This reminds me tho of an episode of American Dad where Stan went to live in Saudi Arabia, and then he liked their ways so much he decided to stay BWAHAHAHA. Highly recommend you watch that one if you havent.

Spending time in Saudi Arabia ranks very low on my Priority List. I love the UNDERDOG!

I visualized an execution squad using a bone saw on a living human. Imagine it happening to you! My heart goes out to the family, friends and loved ones of deceased journalist, Jamal Khashoggi.

 

[Mr Person]

Their government does seem to like killing people.

 

[venice_ca]

Great allies, those Saudi rulers. < cringe >

Pompeo to MBS: Yo Prince, can I borrow your Bone Saw Squad?

MBS, eyes twinkling and with a sly smile, answers: Mike, for a favor like that, we need an understanding.

Meh.
The US government tortures people.
Does your heart go out to all of those families too?

Birds of a feather.....(you know the rest).....

You paint with a wide brush. Can you provide specifics?

Timeframe? Who authorized the torture? Who performed the torture? What kind of torture occurred? Can you provide the names of the people tortured?

Given more context, my heart would likely go out to some of the people tortured and their families.

Do you remember gruesome photographs from the Boxer Rebellion?

Saudi Arabia is currently at war with Iran (proxy war in Yemen). These executions are part of all of that.

In case you are not aware, Iran is our enemy and the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world. And while the Saudis are not exactly boy scouts, we had been on pretty good terms with them until Biden squandered all of that and ended our support for the Saudis as they battled Iranian backed terrorists, and also with Biden's libtard war on carbon energy---which doesn't help our currrent energy crisis, or make the Saudis found of Biden. And also by again reviving the Iran nuclear deal talks-- which BOTH Saudi Arabia and Israel are very worried about, as both would be primary targets of any Iran nuclear strikes.

The Saudis are not specifically our allies, but we so share some common interests with them in the region..... well, did share with them until idiot Biden got elected.

In case you are not aware, Iran is our enemy

Disagree. Iran is not my enemy. They've never done a thing to me or my family.

and the largest sponsor of terrorism in the world.

Nah. The USA is the World Champ in that department, with its li'l dependent Israel.

And while the Saudis are not exactly boy scouts, we had been on pretty good terms with them

The US hanging around with terrorists....birds of a feather. The folks that did 911 no less.

I can’t argue against any of your points with meaningful conviction.

1. An Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941 quickly led to the installation of a puppet government led by Shah Pahlavi. Damn democracy and self-determination! Oil Baby Oil! By 1978, popular political unrest led to an Iranian revolution. On January 17, 1979, Shah Pahlavi fled Iran for exile.

2. Reagan’s team cut a secret deal to release the U.S. Hostages.

3. Iraq attacked Iran. United States backed Iraq. United States aided Saddam’s rise to power.

4. The United States continues to maintain over 800 military bases on foreign soil.

5. 15 out of 19 of the hijackers involved in the 9/11/2001 attack trace their birth to Saudi Arabia. Immediately after the attack, United States makes an exception for Saudi Royalty to the No Fly Rule.

6. GW Bush persuades Congress to go along with an attack on Iraq citing a bogus claim that Iraq harbors Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Oil Baby Oil!

 

[Court Jester]

Disagree. Iran is not my enemy. They've never done a thing to me or my family.

Like it or not, they are our enemy because our policies over the last 70 years starting with the start of the cold war ended up making them our enemies. Persian people are very smart and capable, but when we treat other nations like they are our pawns, then how are we different than Putin?

Nah. The USA is the World Champ in that department, with its li'l dependent Israel.

You see this is where you loose me, by a claim that Israelis are the worse than dictatorships and brutal monarchies.

Next time you end up lost and on the wrong street in Tel Aviv as compared to Cairo, Beruit, or Tehran, then tell me again how as an American I ought to believe the Jews are more of threat to me than any of those other two bit middle east hellholes where people eat with the same hands they wipe their asses with?

The US hanging around with terrorists....birds of a feather. The folks that did 911 no less.

I don't like the Saudis one bit. And if we were truley energy/oil independent here in North America as we could easily be if the left was not against carbon energy, then we would never have to deal with Saudis, Iranians, Russians or any other shit energy producing nations.
