“Saudi” Arabia is doomed, and has been for years.

But they can count on the United States, right?

I've been wondering about the house of Saud selling oil at bargain rates. If they deplete their resources or terrorism issues spread into Saudi Arabia, what's to stop the family from moving themselves to safe-havens all over the world? They could buy up the distressed assets with the hordes of cash continue to accumulate.

Wouldn’t the assets be confiscated by the new regime??

I'd be really surprised if the ruling family has its treasure anywhere near where it could be confiscated.

OK, I thought you meant physical assets connected to oil production.

“the president and his government had resigned”

No doubt a heavy load [and his head] have been lifted from his shoulders.

“Can Shiites fly?”

Yes, and it often hits the fan.
