Sick dude. I'll tell them you sent me

What are you talking about? The Saudis have been funding Islamist terror within the Middle East and around the world for decades

Nah, they're our pals.

HOLY SHIT!!!

If you type p-a-l-s it gets changed to Palestinians.


Ultimately, it doens't matter, everything is what it is.

Saudi Arabia is fine because they have much money and oil and they're friends with the USA, they're also in cahoots with Israel, and they can blow up or just destroy anything in the world anytime. The great feminist kingdom of Canada (Queen Elizabeth II is literally their monarch) stepped in deep shit and nobody seems to be willing to follow their example. Maybe the new age just won't be as they thought it would.

I don't know whether or not you're being sarcastic. Even the US doesn't have that power. If Saudi Arabia was capable of doing this, they would've already done so. The only thing stopping Saudi Arabia from engaging in imperialism is the power to do so.

@skinster,

I did some more reading on the SAudi's. Fiiiinnnneeeee, you're right. They got their hands in the global terror cookie jar too.

Even the US can't blow up or just destroy the moon. If Saudi Arabia was capable of doing this, they would've already done so.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You are the one who was saying that Saudi Arabia can blow up anything they want at any time. Why are you ridiculing your own argument?

Are you conflating blowing up something that would screw over Saudi Arabia along with the entire world with the power to force any country into submission? One of these provides no benefit to Saudi Arabia while the other gives Saudi Arabia the upper hand in almost everything. Want a one-sided trade deal with a country? Threaten to blow it up. Want to conquer a country? Blow it up. Want to stop a rebellion? Blow them up. If Saudi Arabia had the ability to blow up whatever the fuck it wants at the snap of a finger, it would have done so already since Saudi Arabia is culturally and politically structured to encourage that kind of behavior.

On a related note:

That said, I laugh at skinster's taking side against Saudi Arabia, because Saudi Arabia is Iran's enemy and Iran is Israel's enemy. The enemy of my friend is also my enemy. I suppose that is the total geopolitical grasp that skinster has of the world

I just hate fascism, Ter. That from the Saudis and that from the Israelis. It's a consistent position. I have no reason to hate Iran, since it's not running around destroying countries or people based on what sect or religion they are (or aren't).

Also Saudi Arabia is against Israel as well.

They are allies actually. They came out in the last year.

Sunni Islam is a scum-shit-storm.

I would say Wahabi Islam is a the shit-storm takfiri-scum.

Wasabi is delicious @skinster. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Not going to lie, I am a bit partial to wasabi. That feeling you get where your head is about to explode after eating some wasabi is wonderful.

I'm also reminded of this.

I'm sure you wanted to say something really smart again, although I wasn't really sure what it was, so I responded to what I really understood from your post. The point actually is that Saudi Arabia could carry out high-profile terrorist acts in Canada, as well as anywhere else, as they seem to have indicated. So they're not just rich in money and oil, not just friends with the USA and Israel, but they also have a world-wide reputation as terrorists and a source of mercenaries ready for anything.

Saudi youth group must be the Saudi equivalent to patriotic Russian hackers.

So, It took 7 pages for you guys to notice that its a non-story when I pointed out at the very first page ?

As far as I know about this is that Saudi Arabia expelled the Canadian ambassador, and a low-ranking government sponsored account posted this pic referring to the Canadian ambassador, with it being removed shortly afterwards and the twitter account closed.
The account even published an apology saying that the tweet was misunderstood and was referring to the return of the Canadian ambassador.

I think the account was deleted, but not sure.

Looking further into it, this is the official site behind the company that posted it;

So how about we all stop spreading false news, propaganda, and try to at least check our sources.

Regarding the whole dispute, this is a good video, not a source but a youtube channel I follow and like so, here you go;

To be honest, I never took it as a threat, to begin with. I agree with what you posted.

@Beren

Yeah Saudi Arabia funds terrorists. It's their way of imperialism since they don't have the military nor the political influence to conquer another country's territory and get away with it.

According to "Nadia"'s tweets, Yemen supports Saudi Arabia in this spat.
Yemen is currently being destroyed by Saudi bombs, aided by Western arms-salesmen hawking their poisons.

I'm surprised this Twit-on-Twit story (Canadian twit and Saudi twit argue about twitty things) gained this much traction. I guess the media (and many posters) are allergic to more serious subjects.
