I don't think it's merely about the oil though. Had Saudi Arabia not had Mecca and Medina within its borders it'd still been open season on them. Because they have those cities, a foreign intervention would be unthinkable.
See for example how Iran is regarded in western foreign policy debates. Same legislation, has a bunch of oil, but it has no universal holy cities.
Iran is disliked because it opposes American foreign policy not because it's more fundamentalist than Saudi Arabia; it isn't.
You notice how 99% of the cars are white? According to deneb this should be the paradise to humans.
Another thing from my time there is that if somebody crashes into you, it's your fault. If your car wasn't there, then the Saudi idiot that crashed, wouldn't have hit your car. Strange logic.
As well as being the laziest bastards in the planet, they're also idiots.
I will never set foot in Saudi Arabia. Not for any reason.
Ditto here and I'm not even gay. I'd outright refuse to step foot there for any reason. Even if I was Sweden's PM I'd refuse to go. I can talk to them at the UN instead

It's Independence Day on Tuesday. The extreme right will hold a torch march and the antifascists and anarchists will try to stop it. Last year the police cracked down hard on the anarchists and fired rubber bullets, which blew off most of the steam. I think it will be bigger this year, like it was in 2014, considering how divided this nation is. I've read questions online where they say "I don't relate with either movement, but I'll like to engage in fisticuffs". Members of the nazi Nordic Resistance Movement is going to be the 'security', and rumour has it they'll get muscle support from Sweden.
