It's a dumb argument to say a random person from a country is representative of that country

2019-09-11 01:41:57 UTC  

DID those British people fund them?

2019-09-11 01:42:08 UTC  

also, consider which citizens in Saudi Arabia have the financial and social means to ***donate fucking weapons and funds*** to anyone

2019-09-11 01:42:11 UTC  

Yes, those random people did, but that's not Britain, the governmeant funding them

2019-09-11 01:42:15 UTC  

it's just wordsmithing the argument

2019-09-11 01:42:20 UTC  

When you know the headline is misleading

2019-09-11 01:42:35 UTC  

It's misleading to say "The House of Saud funded ISIS"

2019-09-11 01:42:49 UTC  

Random Saudi citizens are still Saudis

2019-09-11 01:42:51 UTC  

It's clearly trying to imply one thing

2019-09-11 01:42:55 UTC  

Not really

2019-09-11 01:42:57 UTC  

Let's not pretend here

2019-09-11 01:42:57 UTC  

TBH

2019-09-11 01:43:02 UTC  

or else every country on the planet is funding ISIS then

2019-09-11 01:43:09 UTC  

Since ISIS has members in almost every country on the planet

2019-09-11 01:43:13 UTC  

Yeah, technically speaking every country is

2019-09-11 01:43:14 UTC  

And they are providing resources

2019-09-11 01:43:17 UTC  

lol

2019-09-11 01:43:21 UTC  

Then it's a useless argument to make

2019-09-11 01:43:28 UTC  

Who the fuck cares if a tiny amount of money comes from them to ISIS

2019-09-11 01:43:36 UTC  

someone trying to sell people on the danger of an "imminent Iranian attack" while they're blockaded and sanctioned to fuck is in no position to be accusing others of pretending

2019-09-11 01:43:37 UTC  

>tiny

2019-09-11 01:43:42 UTC  

are you 100% it's tiny?

2019-09-11 01:43:46 UTC  

primarily their money comes from extortion and theft, and their weapons predomiantely come from the black market

2019-09-11 01:43:56 UTC  

In the source it shows a tiny portion

2019-09-11 01:44:16 UTC  

iran literally has tried to assassinate several western leaders

2019-09-11 01:44:19 UTC  

```“Arab Gulf donors as a whole – of which Saudis are believed to be the most charitable – have funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Syria in recent years, including to ISIS and other groups,” it said. “Riyadh could do much more to limit private funding.”```

2019-09-11 01:44:29 UTC  

It's likely tens of millions that random Saudis are giving them

2019-09-11 01:44:33 UTC  

that's not really TINY

2019-09-11 01:44:33 UTC  

Hundreds of millions of dolalrs is almost nothing

2019-09-11 01:44:40 UTC  

in comparison to the billions they have

2019-09-11 01:44:47 UTC  

It's almost nothing in comparison

2019-09-11 01:44:53 UTC  

And furthermore you can't control all of your private citizens

2019-09-11 01:45:07 UTC  

you can when you're a fucking ABSOLUTE MONARCHY

2019-09-11 01:45:18 UTC  

It's a ridiculously annoying headline; it's misleading becuase they say Suadis, when they could say ANY country is potentially having citizens do this

2019-09-11 01:45:35 UTC  

Dicatorships rarely have total power over their whole country, and Suadi ARabia is not a total dicatorship

2019-09-11 01:46:07 UTC  

they're a fucking hereditary monarchy and theocracy, jesus christ, can you be any more transparantly weaselly

2019-09-11 01:46:21 UTC  

It's more like an oligarchy

2019-09-11 01:46:26 UTC  

Rather than a dictatorship

2019-09-11 01:46:44 UTC  

There's a lot of smaller tribal groups with power

2019-09-11 01:46:49 UTC  

that actively executes anyone who dissents against the will of the government/religion
