While this article is complete nonsense, I think he raises one good question by complete accident. Would Saudi Arabia be in the global south? It's not part of the imperial core but it is a very important vassal state for American interests. They kinda cosplayed being independent for a bit when MBS has Khashoggi chopped up and tried to build ties with China but with the genocide in Palestine it is clear is it completely subordinated to western interests.
Besides that I don't know about the economic situation of the people there, and whether or not they are subject to imperial resource and labour exploitation like your run of the mill global south country is.
Saudi just like the rest of gulf countries uses foreign labour, they're currently basically at the level of 1950s America, middle xlass saudis with filipino maids and south asian gardners drivers and workers
