The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been flooding world oil markets with cheap oil, mostly to crush competing producers who have been cutting into their market share. Most notable of these is the US Shale Oil industry, which has significantly higher operating costs than Saudi oil production.

Isn't it time that the dictator, yeah, he's a dictator, of the undemocratic theocratic "kingdom" that oppresses women, beheads gays and bans the open practice of every other religion be given a cute knick name like we gave Pootie Poot Putin? Isn't that what our media does to dictators, mock them? The mocking comes right before the regime change if I remember correctly. So lets get the ball rolling to remove the odious "royal" family.

Calling him Sal make him sound too approachable... lol Sally-boy? nah too Jersey Shore. lol I am bad at this.

oh oh I got it! Slick Sal. lol get it? as in OIL slick. lol heh, I did say I was bad at this



"Slick" Sal, aka King Salman of Saudi Arabia
