I’m not a fan of MBS but the fact this topic was chosen to be discussed at this particular moment when MBS started leaning towards eastern countries really questions the credibility of the economist as an organisation. I wonder how much of an influence does American imperialism have on the economist. Edit: I am not defending MBS. As a matter of fact I hope the Saudi Arabian population organise a revolution and remove MBS and his family from their position. The government has allowed the killing of my Muslim brothers in Yemen for years. There are also communities in Saudi Arabia that are suppressed from living freely.
