              More murder only because we know about it! And only if you don’t consider the people murdered by Trump’s regime (like ICE murders and the Iranian school bombing).

                This has been going on for awhile. I’ve said it a few times. Saudi Arabia has been quietly buying up a ton of companies along with various Trump allies and sometimes outrighting funding those Trump ally companies.

                They invest in many Trump related companies as well as partnering with Russia’s Soverign Weath Fund.

                Everyone is so worried about China, they are letting Saudia Arabia buy up everything behind the scenes.

                I would trust a government that kills reporters, hangs out with Epstein, or likely helped fund 9/11 terrorist attacks.

                  Saudi Arabia is evil, but perhaps this is the only way to teach Americans the error of their ways

                  They will betray us

                        I dunno, the only way they could seemingly betray paramount is to put watchable shows on it.

                          A community for discussing events around the World

                          Rules:

                          • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

                            • Post news articles only
                            • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
                            • Title must match the article headline
                            • Not United States Internal News
                            • Recent (Past 30 Days)
                            • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.

                          • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

                          • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

                          • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

                          • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

                          • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

                          Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

                          • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

                          • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

                          We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

                          All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
