MBS has actually got a plan for his country. He’s made a lot of good social changes for Saudi Arabia and is diversifying Saudi’s economy. This is a country where woman were second class citizens and there was religious police roaming the streets. Zero inter mixing. Child marriages. Among many of the things he’s brought an end to. Inshallah his reforms will influence our other Muslim nations.
He does engage in political repression. Which I am against as a democratic person. That’s why I I’ve said he has flaws. But it’s ludicrous to compare him to Farmaajo who couldn’t tie his shoe laces and was mentally challenged. We saw little progress under his reign and risked returning to a civil war after his illegal extension.
“Flaws”, wow, youre an apologetic for such a butcher.
his 2030 goal are not in their first steps, his mega projects aren’t even in their first steps.
Yemen war caused him billions in equipment, and financing the war, it was like a flame in the Saudi state treasury.
And it gave the Houthis a big strong foothold in Yemen. Turned that country to shithole
Saudia debt went 1200%, with deficits since he came in charge, Neom futuristic city which he dedicated 500 billion is dead. His unskilled advisors throw Billions on shiny startup that goes down hill in spine of months, as if they were teenagers redditors on WSB. For example they put 100 billion on this company called Soft bank, that lost 16.8 billion in one year, and the next year 9 billion, etc.
This guy not only made Saudia small and pariah at international stage, but also burn their money.
