Fifty years? Your conclusion is, that the Saudi’s are our friends, and, all the other bastards of humanity- were also?
Okay, let me ask you this.
How would you have liked paying $4 to $6 dollars for a gallon of gas back in the 70s and 80s?
Without the Saudi leaders at OPEC, that’s exactly what you would have been doing.
Saudi Arabia was the only oil producing nation that supported keeping the prices reasoned. They prevailed.
Is that your idea of an avowed enemy of the United States?
I never said Saudi Arabia was perfect. Neither was the Shah of Iran. Things can always be worse, much worse.
