  While it wouldn't be great in the short term, I fail to see how the status quo is better in the long term.
  I dont want to sound callous, but sometimes things need to break a bit before they can get better.
context: Better give them a World Cup. >
  
  And more American pop star concerts >
  
  And another WWE "premium live event". >
  
  And a dystopian MegaCity you can’t escape from, why not? >
  
  Well, ya know, he's pretty into that shit. >
  
  The innocent blood of children is being shed in the hands of the Saudi regime, as the number of executions of minors has seen a slight increase in the past six years. The thought of children being subjected to the horrors of torture and denied a fair trial before facing the death penalty is beyond unacceptable and reprehensible. >
  
  And yet it's exactly what most of the people there want. It's like honor killings and all that garbage. Humans are a strange bunch. >
  
  how the f you know most people want this- like really how would you know? half of population is enslaved and doesnt even have basic human rights - when was the last time they asked women anything? did they voted on referendum for murder of children ? or live with any resemblance of democratic institutions where they can express their toughts on how society should be  governed? you realise in lots of cases people are being executed because they are oposing this totalitarian regime? whata shitty racist comment.. >
  
  Half of the population is enslaved? Seems a bit inaccurate. We'd hear about 18 million slaves. >
  
  sure you hear about it but in mostly whitewashed way of reporting western mainstream media has - being that SA is  "ally" country of west  . women , i meant women and their "rights" in SA,  at least  half of population are women - you get it? ... and with other "migrant workers" , different classes and minorities and satus that they all have in such "society", yeah its probably much more then half of population >
  
  Hope I live long enough to see the world get rid of the Saud family. >
  
  I've seen reason to doubt the Saudi's proven reserve amounts. So who knows, maybe its significantly lower than they claim and easily accessible oil there starts running out within our lifetimes.
  Such that the crude from oil from Alberta Canada and retooling of refineries to work with American crude from fracking becomes viable. With the net result of Saudi price per barrel being uneconomical to buy on the global crude market compared to other nations.
  They'll be in for a very bad time, since they lack a productive population, and any means of imperialism with their oil wealth. All they have is a mercenary army and foreign workers extracting the oil. >
  
  I still don't see how that's a good outcome. If their government falls apart it won't just turn into a perfect liberal democracy/communist paradise/literally any form of functional government. 
  You'll just have a situation like Yemen now except it's the entire population of Saudi Arabia caught up in the mess. There's no way any western countries will even think about an intervention after Iraq/Afghanistan.
