Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with top congressional leaders of both parties Wednesday morning, before an hours-long session with corporate CEOs and billionaires at the Kennedy Center in the afternoon.
The events confirm that President Trump spoke for the entire US ruling class, Democrats and Republicans alike, when he welcomed the bloodstained monarch to the White House and denounced any mention of bin Salman’s role in the gruesome murder of Saudi dissident and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
…
There is nothing surprising about the welcoming of the Saudi despot and mass murderer to the US Capitol. The House and Senate have given standing ovations to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on at least two occasions during the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed a joint session of Congress twice—even as he pursued policies of entrenching his authoritarian Hindu-supremacist regime and threatening nuclear war against neighboring Pakistan. British Prime Minister Tony Blair addressed Congress at the height of the US-British war of conquest in Iraq, in July 2003.
More importantly, American presidents themselves address Congress on a regular basis, and the war crimes committed by these presidents in this century alone (wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, drone missile assassinations from the Middle East to the Caribbean), dwarf those committed by any visiting monarchs, dictators or prime ministers.
After his brief session schmoozing with the congressional leadership, bin Salman travelled across town to the Kennedy Center to resume the real business of his trip: wooing and being wooed by corporate CEOs and billionaires, with Trump presiding over the scene like the head pimp at a house of ill repute.
…says the anti-China single issue poster. The irony is almost palpable.
Hey, they do a little more than anti China articles
I was talking about OP, check out his post history later – he literally only posts anti-China pieces all day long
Oh I know. But they do anti anything that isn’t western countries.
I asked some tankies here to make clear that wsws./org is a propaganda outlet, but they rejected for whatever reason.
Yet the standard for lemmy world mbfc doesn’t list it as propaganda. And they love to attack anything on the left

wsws. org is supporting war and violence. And the ‘standard for lemmy’ is a bit odd as there are too many tankies and other right-wingers here.
Agreed world is filled with too many on the right. Which makes it even funnier in this context.
What do you think is a tankie?
As it is already said, those who think China and Russia are somehow paradises and not police states and dictatorships.
So that makes any propaganda source that paints them in negative lights?
Just trying to understand as others have said your entire account just looks like someone either from radio free Asia or some right wing think tanks.
Tankie is all the lemmy users who think china and russia are somehow paradises and not police states.
I have yet to see people saying current Russia is that.
Only pointing out how every western country is equally police states
