Open your frigg'n minds, think about all the other tools that can be made into WMDs.

I sincerely hope that life is never discovered on another planet because, sure as hell Progressives and Socialists will want to send them money.

Things are changing at a rapid pace these days.

"Arabia announced its intention to float a stake in oil giant Saudi Aramco and privatize other state assets to create the world's largest sovereign wealth fund."

"on a quest to show the world that Saudi Arabia is not a backward nation hamstrung by a backward beliefs."

Sounds like a bumper sticker. I would like to know what is really being said?

To the pessimist in me it sounds like a good way to rise to a superpower, get all linked up with everybody else, and then revert back to "backward beliefs".

As is true in personal relationships, so it is in international relationships. The proof is in the pudding. Trust is earned. We shall see.

Kinda old news and not exactly accurate. The only new aspect is Saudi's intention to sell shares of Aramco on the major stock exchanges, and that's just to generate much needed revenue since the drop in crude prices took place and no longer keep Saudi's coffers overflowing.
Saudi took 100% stake in Aramco several decades ago. Kicked out the private enterprises that developed their oil fields.
Aramco originally stood for Arabian-American Company.

I have been watching this unfold. Sorry for my skepticism, but I am playing the odds here. This is more fodder. The internets make idiots feel special. Calling this "moderate islam" keeps those idiots entertained.

If having hope makes me an idiot, then so be it.

As I said, trust is earned and we're watching to see what actually happens.

Just like "Batman v. Superman", if Saudi Arabia and Iran go at it, who will win and how will we be involved?

Nice idea but don't count on that yet. The Prince could get killed by his own people. Way Too many are hard line religion and/or very corrupt to give up control and $. Like Ganges or hard liners in other country... Both have no problem killing govmnt people that gets in them way to control people and/or making huge amounts of $.

Then add can have yet another war in the middle east between Saudis and Iran...

Ugh. Lost in internet translation. I did not accuse you of being an idiot.


I am going to walk away from here for a while.

Nuke it. THERE is hope. and change.

I'll never believe one single word out of a muzzie mouth. Their ONLY goal is global conquest, and the rest is just window dressing and a means to that end.

They also gave citizenship to a robot. Methinks they're trying a little too hard to look "civilized".

Holy hell! Not creepy at all. Not, in, the, least.

I swear at around the :20 mark of the video she was checking me out.

Back to reality., and nothing to do with the quoted post.

I see a young leader that understands how to sway a generation. Nothing about that man's life is in any way, shape, or form similar to yours or mine. He does not feel the needs of his country. He is looking towards a greater conquest.

Now, where did I put that silly quran passage about lying to win?
