Saudi Arabia could go by many names, “War Inc.” for Yemen and Syria, “Headchoppers Inc.” for all the jihadists its bankrolled in Syria and beyond and because of the war it started in Syria seven years ago “Rape Inc” when one considers the actions of ISIS and the actions of migrants driven to Europe by the Syrian conflict etc.
*** Very few countries hands are clean. ***
Is that statement an example of “whataboutism” ?
