You still do not understand the difference between the Saudi government Saudi oligarchs, or understand the Islamic system of governance. Did bin Laden have some support from rich Saudi citizens for overthrowing the Saudi government? Yes.

They sound like much more like acts of appeasement, in stark contrast to the blatant warmongering against Russia which ultimately resulted in the invasion of Ukraine.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:15, March 4, 2022 (EST) | | Andy, I'm not sure if events such as Acheson's speech at the National Press Club or April Glaspie's comments to Saddam Hussein constitute acts of provocation.
