What’s going on? Do the Saudis send their soldiers into battle with nothing but shovels? Looks to me like they are easy pickens.

So ... the conundrum remains: how do we cut off the flow of billions per day to the monsters?

Cut back, take over, deep drill here, build literal and symbolic bridges to Russia, etc.

Doing nothing means we will all be bending over to the Caliphate soon.

The Saudi’s started and funded this movement. Now they are beginning to reap the whirlwind. They will regret this one day.

A+ for the great map posting.

No worries about Saudi soldiers fighting, Zero will send American Troops to defend his King.

Saudis are incapable of a spirited defense. The soldiers were probably too busy sodomizing each other to fight. The separation of the sexes causes a lot of Saudi men to engage in homosexual behavior. I saw it myself when I was stationed in Riyadh. Saddam could’ve easily marched into KSA if George HW Bush didn’t send in US troops to stop him.

Your chart is wrong. Canada has between 180 and 315 billion barrels of recoverable oil if you include the tar sands. Much more if you include recent finds. Technology will allow us to recover closer to the later figure than the former.

The only impediment to delivering all the energy the US needs is the green movement. They don't want out "dirty" oil. Go figure.

Yes but it is Iran financing these rebels.
Just one more surrogate skirmish between the two, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
I’m hoping a knock down drag out between the two.
Only fear is Russia stepping in to support Iran while the U.S. supports the Saudis.
I’d love to see both bloodied badly.
Rememberr the fun when Iran and Iraq were at war?

This is not good at all. Bin Laden has wanted to take down the royals in Saudia for a long time. He based in Yemen before being booted. I’ll bet he is on his way back

Saudi soldiers? Or were they actually Filipinos, Bangladeshis, or Pakistanis “hired” (shanghaied) to do the work for the Saudis?

I agree. SA started it. Iran co-opted it. They both deserve to suffer.
