A Saudi journalist tweeted against the government – and was executed for ‘high treason’
This is the kind of scum we choose as our allies. Disgraceful.
They also assassinated Kashoggi, who was living in Germany at that time. But give it 2 more years and you will hear similar news from the US
Why wait? Cops are already shooting rubber bullets at journalists during protests and doing all kinds of illegal things to them for the crime of-well there is no crime, actually, except for what’s being committed by the cops.

Are we the baddies?

Wasn't Saddam trying to move to selling his oil in another currency, which is one of the reasons he was invaded?
the kind of scum that the mobsters in government choose as allies.
Not sovereign countries that were attacked because another Mob state unilaterally decided they dont get to exist anymore, like Ukraine , Not oppressed people who've been systematically denied representation and genocided for centuries, Like the Kurds
Instead, We cosy up with Regimes with abhorrent human rights abuses who win favor in the west with bribery.
Countries that wage war against us from the inside, trying to convince us they're friends whilst having no intentions other then destroying us, like Russia,
Wasting money trying to prop up regimes that want nothing to do with us other than our money, like Afghanistan and Iraq.
or the never ending blank check to Israel who freaks out every time someone sneezes, Who will never run out of enemies, and make new ones when they do. citing the Holocaust as an excuse to butcher 80,000 people in a month all while threatening to use nukes if they fail.
I mean.. death penalty is a thing, prison is another. Whatever the punishment, the law being applied on a f*ing tweet is quite extreme already. And all countries do this. So, before blaming perhaps some reflection is due.
