Saudi thinks having Trump in their pocket means they can amplify economic pressure on Canada?

Why not ? The Arab World isn't The West ...

Canada needs to fall all the waaaaaaaaaaay back

The biggest joke is the nationalist here would froth at the mouth to be able to shyt on the Saudi's. They'll have a fukking field day, but these nationalists love Trump and 'Murica' so much that if we went to war with SA and the US took their side, the nationalists would fully back Trump and SA. Right Wing people here are willing to sell Canada out to be a part of the US in a heart beat. That would be worth it just to see the moral confusion, but they'd be willing to take it in the ass for Trump...

MBS tryna build an alternate reality where Saudi is a powerful independent actor, that doesnt cowtow to the West. Seeing the jingoistic language they are using, its clear these moves are aimed at a domestic audience. Nothing like a foreign target, with "plots" to interfere in internal affairs to circle around the flag.


They can afford to do with Canada because the ties are limited, and the few dealings they do have (defence, education) will have alternative sellers in the West. Very amateurish diplomacy on display. The country is supposedly transitioning from an oil economy, and to do so they will need foreign investment. No one is investing in a country this unpredictable and impulsive on their policy actions.

Its actually the same in Canada, the right wingers are very confused on whether to side with the Trudeau Government, or jump on an opportunity for more Islam bashing.

I'm from Canada. Thats exactly what I was saying. It'll be intersting to see, especially if Trump tries to shyt on us on SA's behalf. It'll confuse the shyt out of the right wingers, but they'll find a way to blame the Jews...

UK did the same sh!t with Russia... stop your fear mongering[/

Foreign investment in Saudi hits 14-year low despite reforms Not fear mongering at all, foreign investment in Saudi has already dropped over the year.

The UK comparison is way off, there is no equivalence between a chemical attack on a dissident and mild Twitter criticism. If Canadian agents killed someone on Saudi soil, maybe this reference would make sense.
