#2 "It is no longer possible for Saudi Arabia to continue paying billions to Lebanon in the morning and receive insults at night."

Mirrors our relationship with NATO. At least the Saudis are cutting the ungrateful bastards off, we're still giving them free money.

"Pak elites have a bad habit of taking Saudi support for granted, given what Saudi has done for Pakistain over the decades."

Gosh, it's like I'm in a mirror universe.

"Well the party is over, and Pakistain needs to deliver value to this relationship. It's no longer a free lunch or a one-way street."

This is amazing. If only we could be this tough with Europe.
