As he was leading an austerity drive and torturing his relatives for their cash

Interesting...... LINK

quote:

American officials have closely watched the activities of the 32-year-old, who is trying to portray himself as a reformer determined to root out corruption in the oil-rich kingdom. “The image of the crown prince spending that much money to buy a painting when he’s supposed to be leading an anticorruption drive is staggering,” said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer and leading expert on Saudi politics.

Most all of these Saudis are trash, they’ll all be strung up by their heels from a gas station sooner or later, the United States supporting the corrupt Saudi regime is a huge driver of terrorism ( lmao while the Saudi princes fund global jihad ) it’s quite the fricking scenario.

I mean, thats a really shitty thing to spend that much money on, but the amount of oil money he and his father control, it’s not that significant an amount.

Wish we would stop buying their fricking oil and just drill all our own. Sick of these frickers having any standing on the global stage. Without petroleum, nobody gives a frick about the ME and there would not have been any mass muslim migration the world over.

I mean when you torture your cousins and take their money you gotta splurge a little bit. My girlfriend calls it retail therapy

Also, you guys need to leave the Based Crown Prince alone. He's the best thing to happen to the Middle East since the Crusades

“Salvator Mundi,” which means savior of the world, depicts Christ as a Renaissance man dressed in flowing blue robes. While Muslims regard Christ as a prophet, Islamic religious scholars and clerics generally regard the depiction of human forms of prophets as a sacrilege.

So, just to be sure I got this right...

According to the CIA buying art is somehow political and somehow nefarious and "corrupt activity"? DaVinci, Whistler, Monet...somehow became worthy of CIA attention and activity?

I guess a Salvador Dali in your possession earns a trip to Gitmo these days.

This is so blatantly the deep state trying to discredit their enemy, the Crown Prince, that it gives me hope we must be really winning more than we even know.

Who the frick cares if a Saudi billionaire spends his money on art? Lol this is ludicrous.

I think Trump might have low-key converted the Saudis to Christianity.
