Its something people assume Americans would change their minds based on past history. Kind of like the Embassy attacks or the attacks on the Marine barracks in Lebanon in the 80s and force President Reagan to pull troops out. Or another example Pearl Harbor attack and the Japanese assume that would be enough to force the Americans to sue for peace because what they did to the Russians in a surprise attack during the Russo-Japanese War. Remember that Saddam though the same warning Americans about the Mother of All Vietnams prior to U.S. involvement in Gulf War1. So thinking killing thousands of Americans and other nationalities on 9/11 would force the U.S. to back off in the ME or change its support for Israel.

There's no general rule along the lines of "strike US assets and they will retreat", it obviously depends on a whole set of circumstances and variables (both domestic and international) as well as on what the target would actually be. The notion that a rag tag network of AK-wielding militants could possibly force the retreat of US troops from the entire Muslim world by staging a major attack against civilians on US soil and in the early 2000's at that, when the regime was headed by hawkish neoconservatives and was busy planning on how to preserve its newfound unipolar hegemony for another century, is simply farcical. Not to mention how improbable it would have been for a grouplet like this to be able to pull off such a thing on its own.

What makes you think its improbable or impossible to do such a thing when terrorist groups or even individuals only have done it before by hijacking aircraft to get their demands through? Only difference was ramming jets into buildings.

Care to explain a bit??
It is simple.. Russia had almost $600 billion of foreign reserves in Western banks..and they were all frozen by the new sanctions.. Russia responded by confiscating the Western assets in Russia.. it already did worth $500 billion..
 
The simple ban of export of wheat by India is raising alarm of what the Russia-Ukraine conflict is now leading us to.

An anticipated shortage of essential food supply worldwide.


And India's wheat merely accounts for 3% of the combined world export and is already causing an impact.
 


Its really nice yacht honestly.

Russian steel billionaire’s new yacht is a tuxedo donning warship – The 464 feet long megayacht costs $500 million it has two helipads, a retractable hangar, a cinema, spa, and even barbeque areas.​
