“Do not threaten us Saudi Arabia. This American would have zero problem with a U.S. invasion of your country and seizing all of your assets and creating a forward base within the Middle East. The rest would fall into our control very quickly.”
Just make an announcement to all of the foreign contractors that we are invading, that we will continue to pay them, with a 20k bonus if they stay, and $10 million for the head of the Saudi King, $2 million for the head of any Saudi royal, and 5k for the head of any Saudi citizen - no questions asked. Also off any expat that stays citizenship in the protectorate (not territory) of New Texas. Cakewalk.
