I believe the US didn't fly the Pride flag in Saudi Arabia as they want to respect their traditions. But does the Pride Flag respect the Vatican traditions?


Saudi Arabia is a valued customer of the MIC.

The Vatican? Not so much!

Well they flew the rainbow flag at the US embassy in Hong Kong. It was rather foolish to do it at the US embassy in Kabul Afghanistan. With it shows that the US Government missionary zeal to spread the LGBTQI+ gospel. This is in your face with a highly religious society such as Afghanistan where the typical Afghan is a devout Muslim. It is also foolish doing it in a highly religious society such as the Vatican too. I can understand if US embassies have pride flags in countries that share their values on LGBTQI values such as UK, Netherlands and Argentina.

Because as I mentioned in other threads, Biden is a weak person, he cowers in fear against entities like the Taliban, but then plays tough guy with Americans and legal residents. He is the equivalent of the abusive father, a coward towards strangers, mr. tough abusive guy at home with his wife and kids. He is a bully, is preys on the weak.

On the flip side. The USA did not post lgbt flags on us embassies in China Russia and Saudi Arabia. Why? Those. Countries are not liberal and are paternalistic. Lgbt culture is not normal on those lands and races of people.
Biden should be excommunicated.

Actually the US Embassy walls are now has texts from the Koran.

Yep.
Seems strange to fly anything other than the American flag in these situations. What are they trying to prove otherwise?

Then 99% of us would be excommunicated for the same reasons.

So what I'm gathering from your post is you'd like us to fly the Pride flag at the embassy in Saudi Arabia because it would show that Biden is strong?

Isn't it up to each Embassy to decide?

Personally, the only flag that should be flown at the Embassy is the United States of America flag. That is it. No others.
