      I assumed that they bought state secrets from Orange Julius. I’m not sure they have a particular interest in destabilizing the US as much as say, that one guy who is basically 2 inches from war with NATO.

        the Saudis will do what’s best for the Saudis. Including destabilizing the US if it means they can continue being assholes on the world stage.

        Why not? Destabilize the US, let them invade Iran under false pretense, like Russia did in Ukraine, rely on Saudis and maybe Israel as “strategic partners to stabilize the region”, so they can control the middle east and establish their theocracies. Meanwhile the weakened US relies on more ressources and funding from the Saudis so they make big money and gain influence in the US economy.

        The capitalist elites are happy to sell out America. Americans are easy to get into another invasion with lots of war crimes, heck Hillary Clinton was eager to attack Iran sooner than later.

        Keep in mind that the 9/11 attackers were mostly Saudis and ISIS was largely funded from there. If they think it’ll benefit them, they’ll burn the US to the ground.
