Saudi Arabia finally congratulated Joe Biden on Sunday over his election victory, more than 24 hours after he defeated Donald Trump, who had close personal ties with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The former U.S. vice president pledged in his campaign to reassess ties with the kingdom, demanding more accountability over the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Riyadh’s Istanbul consulate and calling for an end to U.S. support for the Yemen war.

As other Arab states raced to applaud the Democrat challenger, the kingdom’s de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman remained silent on the U.S. vote even as he sent warm words to the president of Tanzania on his re-election.

At 1932 GMT on Sunday, Saudi Arabia’s king Salman and his son, the crown prince, congratulated Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on winning the presidential election, state news agency SPA reported.

“King Salman praised the distinguished, historic and close relations between the two friendly countries and their people which everyone looks to strengthen and develop at all levels,” SPA added.

2. I would love to see president Biden sanction the mother fuckers.

It is truly a shithole country. They cut off people’s heads, for gods sake. Not that lethal injection is any better at the end of the day.

Let them go to Russia and buy their military crap. Their princes make shitty soldiers anyway. And we don’t need their oil.

I see no way in my lifetime they will ever be a decent country. But that what you get when you let a religion from the 8th century set your rules.

13. They locked kids in cages

I heard they take kids away from their parents and locked them in cages and let their citizens die of Covid-19 by refusing to give proper PPE for protection. In the U.S of A we will never do such thing even half of population are bible thumpers.

5. Trump congratulated Putin on his bogus win, but won't do the same for Biden who won legitimately.

6. No Muslim ban for the country that supplied most of the 9-11 terrorists.

12. Right-wing propaganda can work FAST!

Those propagandists already have their swarms of followers, and then the dial gets cranked up to full-whacko periodically.

I can still recall watching polls of Americans in the months after 9/11, and how MOST Americans polled blamed Iraq after that country received nearly all the attention by Dumbya and his right-wing sycophants.

9. The key is when and if Putin congratulates Biden.

That would be the straw that beaks the camels back as Trump sees that even his handler no longer supports him.

11. 'Democrat challenger'.

Fuck National Post...

14. MBS knows there are consequences coming.

He'll never set foot on US soil unless it's to speak at the UN as long as a Dem's in the WH.

No more dinners at Bill Gate's house, no more fawning visits to Riyadh from the President. You get the SoS at best, giving you the bad news that we're not going to help you kill more Houthis.

15. Oooo, that's gonna sting!
