Right. In the same way the King bears responsibility for the assassination of Kashoggi because he was King and it happened under his reign. Not because he had anything directly to do with it.
That’s a false equivalence.
To be clear your claim is untrue and relies on not understanding anything about Saudi Arabia, Al Qaeda, or any of their actions.
While some people from Saudi Arabia are involved in Al Qaeda the government itself is not supporting a group looking to overthrow it. That would be really stupid.
Sure, as this dynamic is of a similar nature as the relationship between explicit anti-government organizations like the Oath Keepers and the American government.
No, because neither of those groups intend on overthrowing the US government.
The reason why your claim is not just false but actually ignorant is because the main goal of Al Qaeda is overthrowing the Saudi government that pays people.
You shouldn’t be continuing to try to prove yourself correct here. Your claim makes no sense at all.
It's quite fine that it doesn't make sense with such an interpretation of what I said. I haven't even disagreed with such refutation as a result.
Im not interpreting anything. You keep making false equivalences because you want Saudis ti be blamed for something that wasn’t created by Saudi Arabia.
