It seems to have backfired hard and they're playing the victims now.

Houthis launching Iranian scuds into Saudi infrastructure is hurting them bad.

Saudi Arabia wants the US or another superpower to protect their shipping lanes and oil fields

Yea for sure

They're willing to be effectively dependent on foreign military investment to that end, but they see the dream is dying

I'm sure they think if they can push NATO against Iran, they got this.

Now they're trying to diversify but they're gonna hit a wall

Oh for sure

Saudi's want to be a tourist destination. lmao

You live in a fucking desert

They'll be in for a surprise when America leaves NATO
And their tourism push will not sell without heavy criticism for their social policies

Yea for sure

It's going to end violently when they have to choose between losing American military assurance, or pissing off their indigenous extremist groups

Yea, talk about backing yourself into a wall.

Hey, maybe we can see Saudi democracy sooner rather than later.

Saudi Arabia ain't no Dubai either. I don't think no tourists ain't gonna be around the place soon, unless if they tone down their ridiculous laws.

They already have a dual system for citizens and non citizens already.

I imagine they just want to expand on that, but it's hard to have those kinds of double standards with radical islamists so near by.

Iran is actually a better place to visit than Saudi if you're a tourist.

In iran you can sell your kidney but they dont like organ tourism

Now he wants to spend 150 million a year on sending low income families camping

I love how "environmentalism's" mask is falling off, and is gradually being acknowledged as socialistic. Heck, then they are doing it themselves.
