Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 More on Sophia, the Saudi 'citizen': http://uk.businessinsider.com/meet-the-first-robot-citizen-sophia-animatronic-humanoid-2017-10?r=US&IR=T/#hanson-himself-however-believes-that-future-is-much-more-immediate-the-age-of-living-androids-is-among-us-he-told-business-insider-10 Quote Sophia once said it would "destroy humans," but this time around the robot spoke about its desire to live peaceably among humans. Guess that's why the Saudis liked her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including billionaire investor Alwaleed bin Talal. Per that New York Times article, Alwaleed is a "Trump critic" and he trolled Trump's Twitter account during the election. He's also the schmendrick whom Rudy Giuliani refused the $10 million "donation" to 9/11 victims. Hehehehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priory_of_Sion Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Saudis have declared that Lebanon has declared war on them? I'm confused, but optimistic that this ends with Hezbollah wrecking the Saudis and meeting the Houthis in Mecca or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belesarius Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Anyone else think that Saudi Arabia is about a hiccup away from direct war with Iran? The Crown Prince is known for being impatient and doesn't like Iran much. And neither does a lot of the US Conservative base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it happening before the end of Trump's 1st term, but not right now. If MbS is that impatient though, who fucking knows. I mean he comes from the place that essentially created ISIS and AQ and is genociding the Yemeni Shia right now so I think anything is on the table, but I don't think his allies (US, UAE, Israel) would green light a war with Iran.

It is a “I’ll believe it when I see it happen.” but on the surface it does look like that’s the direction things are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
