I thought the same, I may be wrong but they seem to prefer Land Cruisers / Pajeros with giant turbos and side by sides.

Basically just whitewashing their image...add Dakar to the list.  After they murdered and chopped up that journalist at their Turkish embassy it was pretty clear what we're dealing with.  Not that we don't do terrible things around the world, but sheesh....

Yeah, at least USA likes to imprison journalists without charge so they have a slow painful death instead.

you're not wrong...not by a long shot.  It's pretty pathetic what they've done to Assange....not to mention Snowden (who they've openly talked about trying to kill...."they" meaning the CIA).

You've heard and seen the stories about Saudis buying cars when they've run out of gas, they leave the car on the side of the road.

Let's face it, the US has exported and outsourced more death than the world combined since ww2.

We buy Saudi oil,  and sell them weapons,  so much to making them a pariah!

The ca. 1500 painting, which Crown Prince Bin Salman purchased from Christie's in New York through a proxy (450 million!) and which is often referred to as the “male Mona Lisa,” depicts a beatific Christ with one hand raised in blessing.
