Jun 5, 2022 at 11:17 comment added convert Saudi Arabia is an important alie of the West in the region, this fact should be not forgoten in this context.
Oct 29, 2021 at 16:10 comment added PoloHoleSet @FluidCode - No, it's not another media fiction. It's an indication that often-failed template of supporting complete garbage as an alternative to the regimes or groups we don't like will not win over the people. Saudi Arabia is a prime example of this, as well. It's not about the Taliban gaining popular support because they are popular, themselves, but because they are deemed as less odious and corrupt than the warlords. Regardless, your claims that the odiousness of the House of Saud have been ignored or glossed over are simply not true.
Oct 26, 2021 at 15:32 comment added FluidCode @PoloHoleSet The Taliban are still there because of continuing foreign support. All of them were trained abroad and many fighters are'nt even Afghan. Local popular support is another media fiction.
Oct 26, 2021 at 15:23 comment added PoloHoleSet @FluidCode - Both of those are inaccurate. In Afghanistan, it's pretty clear that the Taliban has a lot of broad, popular support - at least, moreso than the warlords that the West tried to prop up to rule the country. That's why they persisted and took over after several decades of active efforts to stomp them out. Articles I read all point to Saudi Arabia as a brutal, totalitarian, and exploitative society.
Oct 26, 2021 at 13:43 comment added FluidCode @PoloHoleSet I beg to disagree. While in Afghanistan it is clear that a backward model is imposed on the population by those in power in Saudi Arabia many articles point to a conservative population, which is hardly credible. The concern on the rulers imposing such policies is quite different.
Oct 19, 2021 at 22:18 comment added PoloHoleSet "However there is no such concern when it comes to Saudi Arabia" - this is completely false and inaccurate. I've been reading about these very concerns, on a regular basis, for over 30 years and running. -1 for a straw man proposition and for asking a "why" question about an inaccurately described situation.
