You are mistaken, sir. On December 9, 1944, after the Swiss had refused to stop allowing transshipment of military materiel through their nation in exchange for Nazi coal, FDR froze ('sequestered' is the proper term) ALL Swiss assets in the U.S. The next day, all the Allied Powers followed suit. It took exactly 9 days for the Swiss to cooperate.

As Casey Stengel, the old Yankee maanger, used to say: 'Ya could look it up.'

You're talking about a World War over a half a century ago..and comparing the Saudi situation to the Nazis...and this is supposed to be a convincing argument. LOL
