I am not sure its American or Saudi idea to gather people in person. but JS have been traveling to Saudi often.
Saudi collected global North and South regarding Ukraine issue to demonstrate Saudis have greater say in World affairs that it can bring together both China and India. Arab Royals generally have Boeings as Presidential aircraft so that element of trust on US that they dont have on others. Also first time Arab country help with IMF a latin American. They are truly enjoying reserve currency. Strong dollar investments while weak Asian currencies imports.

The terms of the peace deal that the Western is offering is essentially an unconditional surrender. That’s why they are going around trying to get Russia partners and neutral countries to pressure them into accepting it. Only problem is they got absolutely zero leverage.

Apparently, Nigeria does not need senate approval to start a war against Niger. The president can simply declare it something along the lines of a national security threat and bypass congress entirely.

Nigeria has a population of 200+ million and is one of the wealthiest countries in Africa, while its target has a population of merely 25 million, and is one of the poorest countries in Africa. What reason do we have that this war won't be another Saudi Arabia in Yemen situation?

vietnam as a nation defines itself as being anti China, not dissimilar to how modern Taiwan tries to create a nationhood on being anti mainland Chinese

Not country bashing but simply stating the psychological disconnect between the mindy kalings and the Nimarata Nikki Randhawas of the Anglo west, who yearn for angloid white acceptance to the point of acting as good sepoys to buttress white angloid supremacy. Look also at the other ethnic Indian candidate for the US presidency- Vivek Ramaswamy - and how he behaves as a caricature of a right wing American political candidate.

The United States is not a real nation per se, in fact none of the countries within the five eyes except for the UK can be considered real nation states, but rather, real estate controlled by private equity.

New Zealand is a real country ... in fact NZ is more socialist than China, also the majority of NZers are socialist and don't like capitalist like the US

True, but it's not like Niger has zero backers (Algeria is pretty strong and seems willing to back Niger).

Anyways, the actual military of the two countries is pretty weak. Nigeria is stronger, but still pretty backward and old (their most modern and best trump cards are likely the various drones they got).
