This ought to surprise nobody. We’ve been the dog walkers for the gulf oil states for a very long time.
The Saudis and Qataris etc. etc. are the $$$$$ behind big banks and big business in the Western nations.
Our government genuflects to them as was obvious on 9/11 when Saudis including Bin Laden family members were flown out of the USA by George W. Bush.
FDR started the Uniparty relationship with Saudi Arabia in 1945 when in the last days of his life he met the Saudi king on a US warship anchored in a Red Sea harbor.
