“In exchange, the U.S. provided military support and protection to the kingdom.”
The Kingdom will no longer be under the protection of the US. They don’t have much in the way of outside threats, but that could easily change in the future. It all sounds like a good idea, but it could end very badly for the Saudi’s in the future.
I suspect China and/or Russia will be there to protect them.
...and China and Russian leaders aren’t as fickle as the current American government.
Wonder how long it will be until they get a little “democracy” from Uncle Sam?
Iran.
No one kills Sunnis like Shi’ites do.....
