Masameer, the Saudi Cartoon

I have not followed the series. I should though. Literally, masaameer means nails such nails on the wall or nails on the coffin “ The Saudi Arabia of Masameer  is a regressive, aggressively materialistic, American-influenced province torn between a laughably archaic past and cynical present; a characterless place populated by idiotic, self-centred buffoons unaware of their immense privileges.” “The liberation of the Saudi society was years in the making.

Abraham Accords “were less peace deals than just straightforward trades. In some cases, they were ransoms: unelected Arab leaders would recognize Israel, a state they no longer had any ideological stake in opposing, in return for a significant diplomatic concession.

Sudan would sign their name to the deal in  return  for the United States removing them from the state sponsors of terrorism list.
