KSA would destroy them and I don't have too much sympathy for Iran moaning about their terrorists being executed to be honest.

I'd much rather live in Iran than Saudi Arabia fwiw.

Opposite for me. The expat lifestyle over in Saudi is rather hedonistic by all accounts, and the remuneration packages are also very generous.

The Saudi's are spending more than us and Russia on defence and they are buying the best kit currently available, they would wipe them out very quickly.

It's easy to criticise Saudi Arabia for executing someone but Iran executes 3x as many people than Saudi Arabia per year and also more people per capita than anyone else in the world.

And we give the Saudi's the weapons to repress their people....

Gawd bless us!

Spent many a time with the Ex Pats in Saudi mate. I just could not do it, despite the money

Yeah I don't think I could personally. What's surprising is I speak to a lot of expats here in Qatar that lived in Qatar and said they had to leave as they were borderline alcoholics there.

Its amazing what you can make with grape juice. Whenever we go there we are always invited to the "Compounds"
