“But tell me again why the Saudis - the richest country in the Middle East - are incapable if fighting for themselves.”
They are outnumbered by our common enemy, the “Death to America” mullah regime in Iran.
This is part of a long-planned and mutually agreed upon strategic campaign against Iran, which included some security guarantees for the Saudis, for their participation. They have already taken some big hits.

B.S.
I am not fooled by the Saudis. We may be their friend, but they are not ours. Religiously and philosophically they are only 1 degree from the Mullahs of Tehran, and that 1 degree is that they are Sunni and the Mullahs; are Shia and both want to be the head honchos of Islam. They are both dictatorial states, both with religious police, both enforce sharia laws, both execute folks for blasphemy, both suppress freedom of religion and free speech and both execute folks for challenging the political views of the leaders.
The fight between the Mullahs of Tehran and the Wahabi Saudi is a fight over Islam. We do not have a dog in that fight.
On a moments notice the Saudis will have delivery of nuclear arms from Pakistan. We should tell them to do it, now. MAD will then end the Mullahs attempt to intimidate the Saudis without any help from us.
