You have near religious views on both Middle Eastern history and Russia. These are as wrong as any other myths but no logical arguments would fix it.

I completely understand why you dislike the Saudi royals. They did fund the Chechen separatists who tried to break free from Russian rule. You should similarly understand why I have an antipathy towards the Chinese and Russian governments. They were responsible for the deaths of 100K American deaths through their material support for North Korea and North Vietnam during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. And we sent huge amounts of aid to Russia during WWII to help them fight a war that had begun through a Russian alliance with Germany that gave Germany a free hand to invade the West.
