Seems like an attempt at an honest assessment, and if an oil oligarch with a golden toilet is still giving your quality of life a B- you are probably doing something right.

It sounds like an honest assessment I didn't read anything anti-american.

Such a weird thread titles. Would you say that people who prefer NYC pizzas to Chicago ones “trash” Chicago? Having preferences is not disrespectful.

He's used to living like a king. This must've been hell for him. We'll do better to improve our standards. His Excellency will be pleased the next time he visits here. Inshallah.

Anyone who insists on calling themselves "His Excellency" deserves an ass whipping. This dude has been owed an ass beating his whole life. Religious fascist can have his season.

That title of honor was given to him over there. He didn't pick it.

It's probably true, but why is this Saudi acting like Saudi Arabia has anything to offer the world? It's a fucking dump. They got rich through luck. No intelligence, creativity & hard work required. They simply live off oil wealth. What does this dump of a country produce?

Durka durka durka....
The US is indeed a dump. This may be news to Americans but it isn't to anyone else who lives in any other developed nation. Just look at basic socio-economic, crime, health etc. data.
And yes, Turki is a horrible person and a member of a horrible authoritarian regime, but it's a regime that is supported by the US.
So I don't see a problem with him discussing the sad state of his major ally.

I love the yanks "greatest country on earth" claims as they handle the 50th mass shooting of the month and I sit in a country without that issue
An indictment on their education system so many yanks believe they're "great"...
Don't get me started on their "freedom". As best I can tell they love "freedom" as it means they can carry a gun, awesome, I refer back to mass shootings and my country having none. Their shops board the windows due to looting & Daddy government just allowed online gambling but not in all states, oh so "free" lol. The only thing that should be 'free' is healthcare and they rally against it. Smart stuff to hate against their own interests
It's Somalia with fast internet, that's it. "great"

Having slightly outdated theme parks isn't nearly as big of a deal as not being able to do ish without getting sent to jail.
Plus industry in Saudi Arabia is ass. America sucks if you're poor, but if you're skilled or of the professional class, it's pretty hard to beat if your goal is to make money. I mean these Saudi guys are born filthy rich, so I guess they don't care about that.
USA isn't that high on the list for best countries, but this Saudi guy is wylin as if the average person is really going to prefer his country. Saudi Arabia has nothing to offer anyone unless you're born into a rich family or now a boxer looking to get some gwap lol.

Hope the whole House of Saad and all the Emirates get their due, however if comes to them.
The US is not hard to beat to make money, unless you are narrowing it down to the rich - and if you do that there would be no point talking about Saudi Arabia because it's great to be rich there too.
The middle Belgian, Swiss or Australian has personal wealth more than double the amount of the middle American and most other western European countries, UK, Canada do better too. We're not talking the poor here, we're talking the literal Average (median) Joe.
And upper-middle class people in these countries don't tend to live in gated communities or surround themselves with guns because they don't live in as much constant fear from the brutalized poor. So by making things slightly less shit for the poor, they make things slightly less shit for the middle class too.
Pointing this out to Americans isn't meant to unnecessarily denigrate you, it's to point out that you believe complete nonsense about the relative well-being of your country and might be in a better position to fix its shitholer tendencies if you didn't.
Theyre too arrogant to admit any other country could do anything better

Yeah, sure a bit of propaganda and shamless plug for their tourism industry.
However, there is a lot of truth to what he is saying. I travel a lot for work sometimes & have a home in 2 states.
The hospitality industry & any form of customer service has gone to complete shit in America!
When I was a kid the cool thing about staying in ANY hotel was the level of service you received as you were treated like an important guest. Now even when you stay at expensive hotels you would be lucky if they even greet you at the desk or if they had any suggestions on what to do in the area. Main staples totally gone from that industry. To be honest I'm shocked when I actually walk into a completely clean or turned over room. Ussually they half ass that too at best. Can't remember the last time I stayed at a clean, not under construction, hotel with everything working + good service.
Us Americans are constantly saying things are the greatest "just cause" no matter how plain or outdated they are. The service in many big cities is poor, rude, and unacceptable.

Im not american. But at least america has companies that actually make money not just companies subsidised by oil money. One of the reasons saudi have so much oil money is because america has placed caps on their own oil production. Look up the 100 or 20 top companies in the world see how many of them are american.
Maybe u should ask an indian construction worker what he thinks of saudi?
