    Most countries don’t actually care. These countries are valuable to them in resources and power, and will keep funding them. Even beacons of “democracy” will fund terrorists and human rights abusers, so long as the oil and power keeps flowing in their pockets, such as France and the RSF, the US and most countries to the Gulf states + Israel, and more.

      I know you said “and more” but that list should probably include ISIS.

        Yep, but nowadays, ISIS is a shadow of its former self. (plus, i forgot that they exist. haven’t heard of them in years except when the massacre in russia occurred) and besides, saudi arabia has done more to benefit ISIS than the west.

        There are more immediate threats in the MENA, such the sudanese civil war, the gulf’s human rights abuses/absolute dictatorships, the palestinian genocide, iran, libya/iraq’s failed states, egypts police state, the future of syria, turkeys hatred of kurds, so on and so forth…

        Boy, we just can’t catch a break here.
