A dual U.S.-Saudi citizen is facing a long prison sentence and an even longer travel ban for "extremist ideology" over his cartoon comedy on Netflix and old social media posts. It's not the first time, and likely not the last, that Saudi Arabia has targeted U.S. citizens for their speech.

I hope the House of Saud is dissolved. It’s a false construct for a Nation. Bone saws.

It’s probably ignorant thinking on my part, but where I went first is “they can have US military aid / we sell them hardware OR they can treat obligatory human rights this way” - maybe that should be foreign policy, rather than Pollyanna dreaming. Or maybe everyone should have rights.

Say thanks to the UK for the terrorist house of Saud (as a rule of thumb, if something is broken in the middle east is usually UK fault)
