"A REALLY BAD PHOTO OP"

7/17/22

President Biden recently "fist-bumped" with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman as if to say "whassup, bro?" The message sent by this friendly meeting is a mixed-one: it's OK to be a cruel, murderous dictator if you have oil and represent political strategic interests? We should be treating Saudi Arabia the same way we would treat any other regime with blood on their hands (aka Russia), especially after the brutal death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi ordered by bin Salman.
