Seems the Saudi-Arabian did plan this very well, a lot of other befriended countries have cut their relations to Iran as well.
So the beheading has been sanctioned, in a way.
(stole this from Botonov, sorry but this fits so well
)
Also, the west has outfitted Saudi-Arabia with a lot of up-to-date military equipment. Germany alone delivers 800 Leopard 2 tanks.
Of course we know tanks are a purely defensive weapon.
(lmao)
Not the first time the west supports dictators, to get its hands on resources..
Maybe the US should not have removed Saddam. The Iraq population would be in a much better state, no civil war, no bombed-out infrastructure abd no DAESH, and some counterpart to the Saudis.
