NATO needs to reserve its forces for the Saudi revolution. Now THAT’S a situation that would absolutely require military intervention.
The market can handle the loss of 1 million barrels per day from Libya but Saudi Arabia with 1/5 of world’s oil? We’ll have to send in the Marines to secure the oil fields there.
Just wait till the Chinese wake up. Now THAT will be a problem.
Might as well start the resource wars now.
