DID those British people fund them?
also, consider which citizens in Saudi Arabia have the financial and social means to ***donate fucking weapons and funds*** to anyone
Yes, those random people did, but that's not Britain, the governmeant funding them
it's just wordsmithing the argument
When you know the headline is misleading
It's misleading to say "The House of Saud funded ISIS"
Random Saudi citizens are still Saudis
It's clearly trying to imply one thing
Not really
Let's not pretend here
TBH
or else every country on the planet is funding ISIS then
Since ISIS has members in almost every country on the planet
Yeah, technically speaking every country is
And they are providing resources
lol
Then it's a useless argument to make
Who the fuck cares if a tiny amount of money comes from them to ISIS
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
>tiny
primarily their money comes from extortion and theft, and their weapons predomiantely come from the black market
In the source it shows a tiny portion
iran literally has tried to assassinate several western leaders
```“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.”```
It's likely tens of millions that random Saudis are giving them
that's not really TINY
Hundreds of millions of dolalrs is almost nothing
in comparison to the billions they have
It's almost nothing in comparison
And furthermore you can't control all of your private citizens
you can when you're a fucking ABSOLUTE MONARCHY
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
Dicatorships rarely have total power over their whole country, and Suadi ARabia is not a total dicatorship
they're a fucking hereditary monarchy and theocracy, jesus christ, can you be any more transparantly weaselly
It's more like an oligarchy
Rather than a dictatorship
There's a lot of smaller tribal groups with power
that actively executes anyone who dissents against the will of the government/religion
it's certainly not very democratic
