And now to propagandists of Saudi princes in the US

I have been following some of the remarks of propagandists of Saudi princes in the US on Twitter.  Here is the deal: I can understand when American and non-American commentators attack Putin for human rights abuses.  He deserves only scorn.  But when you try to feign outrage at Putin's human rights record, remember that you speak on behalf of a Saudi prince.  Please remember that and maybe that would give you pause before you pontificate on matters related to democracy and human right.  Finally, o propagandists of House of Saud in the US: it is cute when you attack an American president when orders come to you, and when you praise an American president when orders (from Riyadh) come to you.  The operation is too obvious for you to pretend that readers don't know.  Tread softly, o propagandists of Saudi princes, no matter who the princes are (there is a cute tendency among propagandists of Saudi princes in the US when one of them argue with another propagandist for another Saudi prince by maintaining that "my prince is more progressive than your prince". True story.)
