The only Saudi king to stand up to Israel, and the only one to be assassinated
He used crises to create a leading role for himself (he was Crown Prince before so had experience) that secure continuation of his lineage in Saudi Foreign and Intelligence for decades that ultimately weaken Saudi.

He always hedged his bets, wherever possible, in favor of the US, but not if that jeopardized the interests of Saudi Arabia.

“King Faisal brought off a tour de force. Under his leadership, his country was taken seriously but reserved the right to define its role. He made possible a revolution in world economics and an upheaval in the world balance of power by lending Saudi Arabia’s weight to the use of the oil weapon and turning the Kingdom into a major factor in world affairs. All these tendencies emerged when I sat down with Faisal for talks.”

Never going to happen, but it would be far more appropriate and satisfying to welcoming Blinken off his plane and immediately frogmarch him onto another for Tel Aviv so he can see what a real genocide looks like.
Actually, the US probably knows the Gaza genocide very well. The fact that they keep mum about it indicates how hypocritical they are.

The ultimatum is coming. Basically demanding the unconditional surrender of China and Russia.
Keep dreaming. Russia is at the verge of total victory and will not stop at this point. China will support Russia until the end so it will not be the sole target of the West. Notice the data for 2024 is an estimate (probably based on the 1st quarter).

He really doesn't know the difference between combatants (Japan, Iraq, or Taliban) and innocent children and women (Palestinians in Gaza)?

Depth of economic talent in the US military is amazing. New Secretary of the Treasury in the making

China's military spending concerning given 'failing economy', US admiral says​

Such is the caliber of US "leaders". Here is another example: NASA administer Bill Nelson doesn't know that the far-side of the moon is not always dark!

The anglos are wannabe Greeks down to the pederasty and slavery.
I thought the US wanted to treat China like Reagan did with the Soviet Union. Make them go bankrupt trying catch up with the US militarily. Wouldn't excessive military spending despite a bad economy do that?

Another example of the West thinking they're giving China good advice but this is all about the US is whining for China to stop building up its military because they're the ones that can't catch up. So far it seems all that advanced military hardware the West has given Ukraine has been destroyed and/or rendered useless. What happened to all those invincible M1s and other Western tanks? The West can't build them fast enough at the rate they're being destroyed. Isn't Ukraine suppose to be winning? Yet they're on the brink of losing and the US is resorting to threatening to cut-off China from the dollar. They know now the West decoupling from China ain't going to do anything.
like everything the west says re China, it is projection.
It is the U.S. military industrial complex which cannot give up military spending because of Ukraine and Israel and because they are heading for stagflation 70s style.

It's a shame Oppo aren't doing well. I was using Huawei for 6 years before I switched to Oppo in 2021. After Huawei got sanctioned, HarmonyOS just didn't work for my purposes, and I really appreciated Oppo for not having any bloatware on a new phone. And they also didn't force me to sign up some stupid membership scheme while other brands tend to shove that in your face. Maybe the domestic Chinese market just isn't for them.
