Consider the Saudi government, which despite — or maybe more accurately, because of — years of close ties with the United States and intimate connections between high-ranking officials on both sides, was directly complicit in the September 11 attacks. Among other things, the monarchy’s extensive domestic influence operations have ensured it’s faced little censure for this and other crimes. Former high-ranking US officials cycle into adviser positions to its government; it invests in powerful tech firms, the entertainment industry, and professional sports; it funds influential think tanks that shape US discourse; and it counts among its foreign agents former members of congress, their staff, executive branch appointees, and active partisan fundraisers, agents that have donated millions to politicians running for office.
