I love how the saudis are treating the orange shitbag like a toddler.
“Do you want the plane that goes brrrr? We put the big screen to watch foxy newsy :)”
“Oh oh do you hear this sound? Yes! It’s the mcdonny truck! Choof choof!”
*Arabs not Saudis. The plane thing is from Qatar.
Apologies. Arabs felt too generic and I was hoping nobody will notice. :)
Qatar is not Saudi Arabia, in fact there was a huge feud and blockade between the two not too long ago. Do you think all Arabs are the same? They even speak different dialects with different vocabulary and phonology.

Woah woah, hold your horses cowboy 🙌 I was tryin to be funny. No of course no, I lived with arab people in an arab neighbourhood, I’m well aware.
That said tho…….
Gulf countries are very similar I’ve been told (never been). Kinda like german and austrian people, spanish and italian, nordic and sweden, scottish and irish people. Indistinguishable. /s
Spanish (that be what, Galician, Castillian, Catalonian, Basque, Andalusian?) people between themselves are as different as "German and Austrian". Actually the difference between Bavaria and Austria is in history and nation lore, not in dialects. Roughly. Of course there is dialectal difference too.
I guess you could say "Spanish and Occitan" for the comparison to be right.
OK, after "nordic and sweden" I looked for that "/s" and found it, sorry.
Don’t be :) have a laugh at the orange fuck for me
Why don’t you dial back your Karen radar for one second and just let people speak normally online without some grammar/whatever Nazi come in here stirring up shit.
It is not grammar/whatever. They are two very different countries, it is like confusing Britain and France because you think all Europeans are the same.
God please if you are listening, free us from the french. We are tired to pretend their food and wines are superior. You can move them to Scotland, nobody understands scottish or french anyway, they will get along perfectly.
