Why does Saudi Arabia need American money to fight in Yemen with they have massive oil wealth?

What was the point in selling all those weapons to them if they can’t even use them?

Seems to me the Saudis are only interested in fighting a war so long as the United States picks up the tab.

Petro Dollar. Its the only reason the KSA and the US get along. They keep the petro dollar the world reserve, we keep them flush with weapons and mercenaries.
If we would have sacked their asses after 9/11, you would see oil bought with a currency other than the US Dollar. It is as simple as that. I don’t like it, but there it is.
