South Africa Confirms Likelihood of Saudi Arabia Joining BRICS Economic Alliance
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 10/17/22 | Sundance

Posted on 10/17/2022 1:39:51 PM PDT by hardspunned

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa held a two-day summit with Saudi Arabia on mostly economic matters. At the conclusion of the summit, he confirmed the intent of Saudi Arabia to join the BRICS economic coalition, which should not come as a surprise given the previous statements by Saudi leader and Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman (MbS).

pro-Sharia, pro-Islam statements

Exaggerate much? I compared Sharia/Islam to wokism and homoism. I do prefer the Islamic take on that; however, that is not anti-American. It is more Old Testament Biblical.

I think that you missed the point. If things change from the way they currently are in the International monetary system, we are in big trouble.

No, I reread your post to post 3 and your response to my post, and I read them correctly.

“OK, where would you prefer to take a stroll at night: South side of Chicago or Baghdad?”

Why do I care about Chicago? I don’t live there, and if I did I would have the freedom to move to a better part of the country.

Where I live is very safe, and that’s all I need.

The core question is what price freedom? Your beloved Sharia Law trades all freedom for order.

Almost every country in the world has both more rules and greater public safety than America.

In my neighborhood I don’t need more safety, and because of that I feel no need for more rules to restrict my life.

Still doesn't explain why you're not in Ukraine fighting your "military history and long-range strategic thinking and anticipating the Red China threat", ...

and I am in the US, fighting the GloboHomoNazi threat.

You are absolutely correct in your description of the US/Saudi relationship until the globalist coup in the US. The Saudis are the same, they have been a constant for 300 years. America is now unrecognizable from itself three years ago. The Saudis have witnessed another unprovoked application of massive American military power 5000 miles away from the US. The Saudis know the truth about 9/11 and the American twenty year campaign in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Saudis might be in the dark as much as we are regarding whose in charge in DC but they know the individual politicians. They have owned a majority of the DC denizens since FOREVER. They saw something this spring that crap down the leg terrified them. The total mobilization of a majority of the world’s economic might used in conjunction with a massive NATO military assault to attempt to totally destroy Russia got their attention. Again, unprovoked attempt to destroy Russia. The US doesn’t like the way the Russians treat the Uke ethnic majority in Donbas, Boom, total economic war! The Saudis understand how vulnerable their totally corrupt, totally anti woke monarchy is to American pressure. How fast would the House of Saud’s $1.5T disappear under such an attack? I think they’re so drunk with power in DC that they don’t realize or care what’s going on in the rest of the world.

Technically they are the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, so with a new K it will be BRICKS.

“As I have been predicting since DC’s dismal Uke performance began. The decadent west, proselytizing green perversion, is feared and despised all over the Arab world. I don’t know where the right side is but we’re not on it.”

Yep, the West went from representing freedom to telling the Third World that they need to continue to be s-holes for the indefinite future - via Green New Deal crap. To them, why should the West have been allowed to fully develop using cheap, reliable, energy, yet the Third World be stuck in never-ending poverty due to astronomical Green energy costs? Beyond that, this administration goes flying the gay flag and demanding gay marriage in societies that are as conservative as Western Societies were just 50 years ago.

Russia saw the opening and is basically telling the Third World that you can continue to protect kids from sexual predators and use our carbon-based fuels...no strings.

It’s no wonder that the Third World is sick of us and has chosen Russia to side with, despite all of our threats.

I thought I was politely dis-agreeing.
our biggest problems are our internal ones,
eg political.
We have resources, one of our biggest problems is people
that are Democrats.
Weren’t for them this place would be a rocket-ship.

That’s rich! Islam welcomes the lbgtxyz US exported revolution over the past decade just as much as if it wasn’t there. Ridiculous.

Whatever you’re babbling about Israel, who knows? Thankfully, it has zip to do with how Arabs despise the illegitimate thugs running DC. They, of course, know the truth about the steal. This gang in DC can’t be bought like they bought the previous ones. They absolutely fear and and despise DC.

Work with the Biden regime!?!? Oh man, I’m done with your games. You’re just trolling me.

Guess that I miss the “either-or” with regard to Sharia. As I remember the US 50 years ago, we sure as hell had elements of Sharia - such as no tolerance for Drag Queen Parades, and schools that WERE NOT trying to Groom kids to be gay...didn’t mean we were a Sharia country. So what’s the harm in simply returning to that, when we didn’t allow a tiny Leftist fringe to run our entire social policy?

That is basically what I was trying to say. FR seems to be overstocked with angry attack dogs who do not converse with intellectual honesty. In January I came back from a three year hiatus from FR, due entirely to the caustic nature of supposed like-minded conservatives. It seems that another hiatus is in order.

Thank you for your kindly post.

Because they will dump the Dollar which has been massively overprinted. If you think inflation is bad now, wait until we are awash with a rapidly deflating currency.

Let me put it this way. Presume you make $20 per hour before taxes. Suddenly, the cheapest eggs you can get are $40 per dozen. A #1 of hamburger is $100. Your land lord raises your rent 1000%. You can’t afford to pay a doctor for his services.
What happens?
Y’all can’t get money from people that they don’t have.
We aren’t a Feudal Agrarian world anymore.
Serfs laboring in the fields and in the workshops
isn’t going to happen.
“Think outside the box”.
The elite will pass away.
They cannot eat their gold,
nor can they take it with them in death.

You’re welcome, but it’s still worth engaging. Remember that many here have personal agendas and think they are the God-given expert in their field (such as “I served in Vietnam, therefore I’m an expert on military policy for the entire country”). I like engaging them as they usually throw out definitive statements that they CANNOT back up (such as Putin wants to reconstitute the Soviet Union)...so I call them out on it, and they, of course attack me for calling them out.

It’s a lot of fun!
