Maybe that is the whole point of this. If Saudi Arabia is about to go down due to chaos then there is no way the rest of the world sits by and lets America walk in there to fix the problem. America sitting on most of the worlds oil reserves in the form of Iraq and Saudi Arabia is not in Russia, China or the EU's interest.

Now if you need an excuse to be mad and start threatening Saudi Arabia.......

The USA needs to cut off the oil flow there or take it over thus stopping the money flow. The desert rats need to get back into their tents.
