Fuck Twitter for doing that, but how about we also keep Saudis responsible for the crimes they're committing? just saying
They're a sovereign nation. What are we gonna do, launch a military invasion? And it's not like sanctions are a realistic solution, either; the west is far more dependent on Saudi oil than the Saudis are on western money. The world is chock full of other customers that will be more than happy to step up.
Yes, pretty much everything the Saudis do is abhorrent, but unless you're suggesting that the answer to their crimes is to commit even worse crimes against them, you're just flailing around spouting off impotent virtue signals.
Just like in any other country, the only legitimate way to solve the problem of govenment corruption and oppression is for the people of that country to force a regime change.
I don't understand the downvotes. I do not concur with the end for a lot of reasons, but this is a legitimate answer to the comment before
white people love telling people in 3rd world countries living under oppressive governments to "just start a revolution"
Would you rather go back to white people invading third world countries? That's the alternative. I sure don't want that, you're a shitty person if you do.
OH so it's totally cool for America to resume playing world police? literally cannot fucking win lmao
how naive can you get?
They could point at our death penalty also
