The New York Times reports (and Yahoo! News repeats without any paywall) that the government of Saudi Arabia is threatening to sell $750 billion in treasury securities and other unidentified assets if Congress passes the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The bill would allow foreign governments to be sued by 9/11 victims and their families. The threat was issued by Saudi Arabian foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir to unnamed US lawmakers while he was visiting Washington sometime last month, on the grounds that these assets could be in danger of being frozen by US courts.

Which terrorists are we talking about now? Do you mean the terrorists that USA has been sponsoring through years? The military coups in Latin-America, in Middle-East, in Africa...

I do not think that the USA is going to war with itself, this weeds out all the ones you cited.
The fact that they have no problem overthrowing governments makes my POV stronger.
