This is Biden's friend, and Trump. Just like Putin and Netanyahu, Mohammed Bin Salman has no respect or fear of the occupant of the White House. This is giving the Saudi ruler a green light to increase his barbarous rule:
Brutal executions are on the rise in Saudi Arabia under the reign of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, with human rights activists calling the score of beheadings and crucifixions a 'relentless killing spree'.
The Saudi authorities have killed hundreds in capital punishments since the Crown Prince's tenure started in 2015, hitting a new milestone that Amnesty International said reveals the kingdom's 'chilling disregard for the right to life'.
Despite bin Salman promising he would limit the use of capital punishments, the number nearly doubled since he took the throne, according to NGO Reprieve. From 2010 to 2014 there was an average of 70.8 executions per year but from 2015 to 2022 there was an average of 129.5 executions per year – a rise of 82 per cent.
Oil is thicker than blood. And the U.S. government won't do anything to prevent the free flow of Saudi crude. Human life be damned.
