what about the 911 attacks Saudi Arabia funded?
Is this the illustrious "whataboutism" I always see Westerners talk about? No! it can't be! You must be a Russian troll! ;)
Wasn't Bin Laden a CIA asset during the 80s? Might be more curious to know why he was using the last dredges of the Operation Cyclone budget to bite the hand that fed him.
Saudi Arabia did not fund them, that's a lie. Osama bin Laden was already non-grata and had his citizenship revoked years before 2001. But he was still working with the CIA before 9/11.
Or Khashoggi?
Who was a CIA recruiter to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
