Thank god we increase our oil imports from Saudi Arabia

The war in Yemen that lead into literal genocides is also not important.

Long live the good western side

Not that I have a problem with a nation having capital punishment, maybe the guys deserved it. its about the western hypocrisy that is so ridiculous.

Thats the most disgusting aspect of the west to me.

Too bad we don't hang people, or execute in public, anymore.

"Offences ranged from joining militant groups to holding "deviant beliefs", the ministry said in a statement. [...]There are prisoners of conscience on Saudi death row, and others arrested as children or charged with non-violent crimes"

Im a ethno-pluralist, its per se none of my business.

I try to highlight the fact that the west is claiming it bases partnerships on human rights situation and by that portrays itself as good force.

Or uses excuses to be hostile towards Russia that can be used on half of its allies.

Good points. Domestically, Saudi Arabia is many times more repressive than Russia, while its bombing campaign of Yemen has been going on for much longer than Russia's invasion of Ukraine. You may dismiss this claim, but one good reason to wean ourselves off oil in the West is to thus stop being in thrall to these awful tyrannies.

I dont identify with the West, as a German id have no problem with being as energy independent as possible idealistically, but also wouldnt mind to import resources from the cheapest and most reliable supplier as it was the case with Russia, Nordstream 2 would help us as German citizens alot.

Comparing Russia to Saudi Arabia especially pre-Ukraine war is generally silly, Russia doesnt even have capital punishment unlike the USA, which again I wouldnt even care about. Each to their own.

Well it's been suggested that one reason behind this war is that the Americans view Nordstream 2 as a threat to their own energy sales and interests in Europe. And no, Russia is not Saudi Arabia, but make no mistake - long before this invasion, the Putin regime was murdering dissidents overseas and journalists at home. (I was in Salisbury not that long after the infamous poisoning episode).

Also, it is ludicrous and hypocritical how much the West denounces Iran while being in thrall to the Saudis - the latter are, at an absolute minimum, equally theocratic and repressive as the former.

Again, what is with Assange and Snowden?

At least Russia doesnt claim to be the beacon of freedom and democracy.

No sane mind stands behind hypocrites and I dont stand behind Russia blindly and without criticism.

Putin failed to stop social liberalism in Russia big times, I just hope that the isolation can lead to a from a right-wing view, fruitful development in terms of social policies, but who knows.
