Reading Mark Curtis’ book Secret Affairs on U.K. involvement with radical Islamist groups to further U.K. and US foreign policy. In the case of Saudi Arabia we’ve always been happy to walk hand in hand with the regime there as long as it serves our purposes, ignoring the human rights abuses there as well as ignoring the country’s funding of terrorist organisations which we are happy to tolerate until it turns round and bites us in the ass! US should maybe look in the mirror first and deal with its own shit!

Saudi TV, in a first, ran comedic satire on US president, complete with man in drag as VP. From the quality of it, it's apparent this isn't something they are use to doing. https://twitter.com/AsaadHannaa/status/1513681354348716035
That even the Saudis no longer pretend who's 'wearing the pants' in the relationship.
