In Normal Reality, not Malatestia, Abdullah is the Saudi government.
Irony: ammo says it's time. Tom is blocked.[ Parent ]
I don't think so. In the real world no nation as large as Saudi Arabia can function like a small feudal estate. Aside from the Saudi cabinet chock full of ministers that make real policy decisions, the legislative council of ministers, and the Saudi council of clerics that is the head of jurisprudence, there is the multi-layered bureaucracy that exists in any large nation.
In fact, it's all trapped inside his cranium, and it's the law once he ejects it from there.
First you claim that the House of Saud has called for Israel's destruction, now you merely point out that Saudia Arabia hasn't recognized Israel. There's quite a bit of ground between those two poles, you know.--Faith, and the possibility of weaponized kissing? [ Parent ]
Second, my response to ammo was meant as a direct response to his challenging the fact that Saudi Arabia has a functional government. Trying to say that something I said in that thread is baiting and switching is a logical error because I wasn't addressing the same question. You would be right to point it out if I were contradicting myself, but I'm not. The two separate assertions (Saudi Arabia doesn't recognize Israel's sovereignty and Saudi Arabia has a policy of destroying Israel at the first opportunity) are not contradictory in the slightest.
