I'm not a Bill Burr fan or detractor, he's got a progressive radlib energy means sometimes he says the right thing but here that I think has led him to making a bad decision (going to Riyadh comedy festival, in a country which basically has slavery, untold misery etc ) for lib reasons (the people in Saudi Arabia are normal like us)
he left the us
I'm reading this joke as tongue in cheek. He's saying the first part as a dig on Saudi Arabia and specifically the journalist dismemberment. Then the "punchline" is "but they have Starbucks!" which doesn't preclude the first part.
He's also not the most pro-America person either and while the Saudis might hear a "they're just like us" joke as complimentary, I think it's more of an insult to both countries.
