    A comment is saying the west is calling Saudi Arabia democratic but I literally never see that, they are constantly ranked in the top “authoritarian” states in bs classifications

      It’s literal absolute monarchy, so it’s hard to spin, though i did seen some lib opinion prasing democracy on lower local level there. And anyway with their closing with China they will soon probably join the “axis of evil” in murican media and we will be constantly hearing about “so called communist China allying with absolute monarchy” never mind libs did that for decades not to mention KSA was supported by west from its creation.
