Thank you. Good to know.
Look..., I’m actually a person who understands the benefit the Saudis have been to us over the decades. When the oil cartel was in full swing, the Saudis interceded on our behalf. They talked sense to the other cartel members.
Yes, the populace of Saudi Arabia has been problematic. The 09/11 events were perpetrated mostly by Saudi citizens.
There is talk here of the leadership changing in Saudi Arabia being a good thing. I don’t believe that at all. The leadership does keep things in check, although it doesn’t do it with an iron fist.
You get a less moderate, less Western influenced king in there, and all hell would break loose.
Saudi Arabia isn’t perfect, but it is not angry at us, seeking to do us harm, and it’s leadership does not give us trouble around the planet.
It could be a hell of a lot worse. Iran is a great example of how we could screw ourselves big-time if we withdrew friendship and support from the Saudi leadership.
What I wrote earlier is reality. It’s something we need to be aware of and in some instances act on. I think the leadership in Saudi Arabia would understand fully too.
The Saudi people NEVER have to worry about a rotten king. The royal family assassinates its own. Always has; probably always will.
We saw it ourselves when we were over there.
