Isn’t Oracle a big government supplier with millions if not billions worth of contracts?

Elon is a fraud but for someone who claims he created one of the Web’s first e-commerce sites this level of ignorance is embarrassing

I just want to confirm that you know that Iranians are not Arabs. Linguistically they are closer to Europeans and Indians.

Inshallah. I have told my wife once that this is exactly what I will do if we ever get a divorce.

I’m more progressive/leftist than my wife. It may not be common but there’s probably many like me.

In the first Gulf War it was out of necessity. Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khafji

Even today, other than wealth, Saudi Arabia is a much smaller country than Iraq with half its population -Saudi Arabia’s population figures are inflated since over 40% are foreigners-. In 1991 Iraq was much stronger, and much more self sufficient, it could have taken Saudi Arabia in days if it weren’t for the coalition forces.

Leaders in the region fear that the US will turn their countries into another Iraq so they pay up. Don’t confuse tributes for bribes.

Saudi Arabia opposed the invasion of Iraq. It was Netanyahu that went to congress and sold the war to them.

Saudi Arabia’s Steadfast Opposition to the Invasion of Iraq

Saudi Arabia is allegedly spying on Saudis abroad including in the US. Specifically government critics on social media. Saudi Arabia allegedly spied on its citizens in the US through a network flaw

This is bad and probably violates US laws. But it wasn’t targeting the US or US citizens. Meanwhile, Israel is targeting the US and US citizens: Israel Has Long Spied on U.S., Say Officials

‘New NSA document highlights Israeli espionage in US’

There were legitimate grievances, but most Arabs did not rebel against the Ottomans. In fact many more died fighting for it. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2004/1/14/the-forgotten-arabs-of-gallipoli

To the indigenous people, the US has always been fascist.

What did we do? As if our governments aren’t US vassals? Yet you still demonize us. If Arab governments had any sway our governments wouldn’t be paying tributes and forced to normalize with Israel and host US troops.

The only foreign country that controls US politics and bought US politicians from both major parties is Israel. https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary?cycle=All&ind=Q05&recipdetail=S

I got mine a couple of months ago and I wasn’t even a Steam user. I love it.

It is not a good pickup truck regardless of Musk being a fascist

I wouldn’t buy a Tesla even if Elon wasn’t a Nazi and a Zionist.

Poor USA, forced to be an empire

What a weird response. I was addressing your comment. You didn’t mention Palestine -all of it is Palestine FYI, Israel is just another Crusader state- and Crimea should be returned to the Crimean Tatars, both Slavic peoples are invaders.

But no, you would rather play the Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism card and assume that I receive Xi bucks. What a day! I didn’t mention my own country’s border disputes with its neighbors either! Didn’t see it necessary to educate you on the matter.

HK was handed back to PRC in 1997, there was a ceremony and everything. Just because it was stolen by the British for sometime doesn’t mean it isn’t Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handover_of_Hong_Kong

A border dispute between Bhutan and China isn’t something exceptional, Wikipedia has a list of border disputes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes your country might have some of its own

True. This is how it is with [Arabian|Persian] Gulf.

And it’s a waste of money to have to replace all the maps and books with updated names.

Who prints the books? They probably made a big contribution to Trump

HK and Tibet are part of China in all maps. Did you mean Taiwan?

We just need to explain federation to them
