The real equivalency is that Saudi Arabia, Israel, the US, Russia, China, and - increasingly - the UK and other satellite states are now essentially extreme nationalist regimes with a far-right political slant and a fondness for various forms of violence.

The differences are more about superficial local colour than political dynamics, which are becoming depressingly consistent across the board.

It's becoming less and less surprising that there are high-level links between all of them which converge through the use of social media and other tools of influence.
