Fuck the house of Saud and their war on human rights.

But but but... oil!

Dude they see the light, the oil industry isn't going to be a crutch the Saudi's can use forever, and they know. What with the mega spending sprees for property abroad and such, it's the usual "fuck the people, how can I escape with my cash?"

Yeah, they've diversiving for a while now. Got a lot of fingers in many pots.
